Klong Nin is a small village situated in the middle of Koh Lanta right next to the fine white sandy beach, providing visitors with plenty of easily accessible cafes and restaurants.

The sea is great for swimming in and all along the beach you will find Koh Lanta’s famous Umbrella Tree. With the surrounding mountains and tropical rain forest it makes for some breathtaking scenery.
Thai Island Dream Estate
Cliff Lanta
Horizon Bar marks the rough halfway point of Klong Nin beach. As you go further south along Klong Nin the resorts become more spread out. There is a big villa complex – Thai Island Dream Estate – which is great if you want to hire your own villa right on the beach.
Beyond that is the four star SriLanta resort and then the upmarket Nirvana resort, which opened in April 2020, right at the end of the beach.
There are still several beach bars clustered together on the southern part of the beach around Lanta Miami and Lanta Paragon resort – Mr Love Junior Bar sits next to the Lanta Peace Paradise resort bar. If you stay at SriLanta or Nirvana you’re a 5 to 10 minute walk from these bars.
