The sapphire blue sea of the Andaman and its lovely islands are known the world over for their stunning scenery and natural wonders. It is here in the southern province of Krabi, Thailand that you will find the charming Layana Resort and Spa situated on the beautiful island of Ko Lanta Yai.

Layana Resort & Spa is located on the west coast of Koh Lanta at Phra-Ae Beach (Long Beach), a 3-km stretch of white sand. Lying off the coast of Krabi Province on the Andaman Seas shores of Thailand, Koh Lanta Yai is approximately 27 km long and 12 km wide, making it the latest of 15 islands in an archipelago that forms the Koh Lanta National Marine Park.

Layana is a Sanskrit name meaning an interlude or rest, and at the Layana Resort and Spa, just 2 hours south of Krabi Airport, you will find a period of perfect relaxation away from the pressures and stress of your everyday routine. Upon arrival at Krabi Airport will be welcomed by our representatives and transferred directly to the resort. From November to April, the transportation consists of a 50-minute drive from Krabi airport to Baan Hua Hin pier, and then a 20-minute ride along the coast of Koh Lanta on Layana’s private speedboat. From May to October, transfers are organized by land transport only with two ferry crossing.

Layana Resort & Spa can also arrange surface transportation to and from any point in Phuket, Phangna and Trang provinces.

The elegant, low-rise resort has a distinctly Asian feel and has been built to take advantage of its lovely setting on a three-kilometre beach with lush forested hills behind. The luxurious guestrooms are spread out within eleven separate 2-storey buildings designed to blend with the surroundings, while six stand-alone suites overlook the beach and timeless beauty of the warm and welcoming sea.

There are only 50 rooms at Layana Resort: 44 Garden Pavilions, three Beach Suites and three Ocean Deluxe Suites. The Pavilions with 49 square metres of space enjoy a lovely setting in the tropical gardens, while the Beach Suites are perched on the edge of the beach. The spacious Ocean Deluxe Suites are built over two floors with an upstairs open-air lounge. All rooms have large balconies: the perfect place to enjoy an evening drink while listening to the sounds of nature piercing the night air.

Décor and furnishings are natural and luxurious: indigenous hardwoods of teak and mahogany; smooth sandstone, marble and slate; and gentle Thai silks and cotton carefully selected and combined with modern amenities to make for a comfortable and relaxing stay.

There is also a large Jacuzzi should you want to simply enjoy the water without the hassle of exercise. A free morning?

From November to April, the clear waters of the Andaman Sea invite safe swimming, Hobie sailing and kayaking or, if you are feeling adventurous, you can plunge beneath the waves and enjoy the infinite wonders of the undersea world.
