Where Is Klong Nin Beach on Koh Lanta?

Koh Lanta Beach Map
Klong Nin beach is the main beach area in the centre of Koh Lanta. It’s the fourth-nearest beach to Saladan Village, which is where all visitors to Koh Lanta arrive, so Klong Nin Beach hotels have a transfer time of about 25-35 minutes from Saladan to anywhere along Klong Nin Beach. For a more detailed map of Klong Nin Beach itself, see our Google Map below.

As Klong Nin Beach is a little bit further away from Saladan than Klong Dao beach or Long Beach, it is a little bit less developed but still has a great collection of beach restaurants, bars and accommodation. There are some spectacular beachfront villas and apartments available to hire.

As well as the restaurants and resorts on Klong Nin Beach itself, there are also many places to eat and stay behind Klong Nin Beach on the main road, giving you even more options within walking distance. It’s also a short taxi or motorbike ride over to Lanta Old Town, just over the other side of Koh Lanta, which has some beautiful old Thai wooden houses and several seaside restaurants and bars to enjoy.

The cafes and bars and built along Klong Nin beach are all behind a designated line, meaning none of them encroach onto the beach and make it feel crowded. You’ve got an unobstructed view of the beach and the sea wherever you choose to sit.

Klong Nin is also the closest beach to Koh Lanta’s Old Town which is found on the east side of the island. Here you can find beautiful old traditional Thai teak wood houses and the sea gypsy village.

On the way to Old Town you will see how Thais really live as there is very little development on this side of the island. Also check out Viewpoint Restaurant, a short motorbike ride or tuktuk ride away. The view and scenery here are the best on Koh Lanta.

Our transfer to Phuket airport was fantastic - I liked the ability to pay online and your communication of pickup time was quick; our driver picking us up from the hotel was nice and early, the speedboat trip was fast and smooth (we were given some water on board which was nice), and the road journey to the airport was fast and comfortable - the aircon was particularly nice.

What great service! My arrival from Krabi Airport to Lanta was perfect! Many thanks! Linda February 2019
We had a perfect trip and transfer with AmazingLanta! Boat arrived an hour early, but we were ready to go. It was regarding to the tides. Car was ready at Pak Meng, and we had a nice drive. So all in all everything was perfect. Thank you so much Trine February 2019
Our transfer was perfect!. The long tail boat arrived at the Koh Ngai Resort pier on time, and the pilot helped us with our luggage and with getting onto the boat, and when we arrived on land, after 45 minutes, he helped us to disembark and to carry our luggage to the van. He was a pleasant pilot, doing the job calmly and efficiently. The mini-van was waiting, and both the pilot and the driver assisted with our luggage. The van was comfortable and very clean, and the driver was very polite. He delivered us to the front door of our hotel in Krabi earlier than we expected. He was a careful, considerate driver, and our transfer went very well. Thank you. Lyonoor February 2019
The journey was very nice, thank you. Driver was friendly and got us there in good time. The journey seemed longer, but I don't think it was the drivers fault. The drive took out a lot of hassle and I would be happy to use you again! Richard February 2019
