Koh Lanta

Mu Koh Lanta Marine National Park

There are dozens of islands off the Krabi coast. Of these, 15 make up the Mu Koh Lanta Marine National Park, which covers about 135 sq km across four main island groups – Koh Lanta Yai and Koh Lanta Noi, Koh Muk, Koh Rok Nok and Koh Rok Nai, and the Koh Ha group of islands.

The most tourist facilities are found on Koh Lanta Yai; there are numerous bungalow resorts and even a couple of luxury spa and resorts, and even more on the way.

The island is around 25km long, with a hilly central section and a string of superb sandy beaches along its western coastline. The main hub of activity on the island remains at the northern port of Saladan. Here you will find a post office, clinic and banking facilities. There is also a nice selection of restaurants and, of course, a number of the island’s dive operators.
