Steep hillside location means long walks back from the beach
The Baan KanTiang See is an upper-middle-range resort with eight free-standing villas with spectacular sea views
of Kantiang Bay. The resort is nestled on a sleepy tropical hillside, an eight-minute walk
from Kantiang village's fresh seafood restaurants and friendly local bars. Each modern Thai villa has a
generous private terrace with sunset views. There's a saltwater infinity
pool, outdoor lounge, and landscaped gardens, but the resort lacks an on-site
restaurant and bar. Free shuttle services run to select Koh Lanta destinations, and prepared meal and grocery services can be arranged. Travelers looking for an on-site restaurant and a closer beach should compare rates at Phra Nang Lanta boutique resort.

Scene
Secluded tropical escape with great sea views and classic Thai style
A long driveway leads to an intimate tropical estate that feels secluded from Kantiang village below. The lobby’s classic Thai style -- with teak furniture, wooden carvings, and a pitched roof -- is mimicked in each of the eight resort
villas, which are spread out over the estate, and accessed via a landscaped garden
path. At the center of the resort lies a crystal blue infinity pool with impressive
sea views of Kantiang Bay that makes for a popular communal spot where guests enjoy
the resort’s west-facing sunset views. There’s not much beyond the
pool area to entertain guests on-site, as the resort has no bar or restaurant. This is a popular choice for families looking for a self-catering holiday in private surroundings, though it’s best to keep
personals and lunch under lock and key as local monkeys can prove a pest.
Location
A sedate hillside location, a short walk restaurants and bars in Kantiang village
The Baan KanTiang See sits on a secluded hillside in the far south of Koh Lanta Island. It's a 10-minute walk down a steep hill to the sleepy village vibes of Kantiang Beach, and the hotel is far from the hustle of the Koh Lanta’s livelier north side. The main strip of Kantiang Village is an eight-minute walk from the hotel; it's scattered with cafes, shops, and
bars, and plenty of street-food vendors serving up traditional
Thai cuisine alongside sea-view restaurants barbecuing fresh seafood. Kantiang Beach
features clear blue waters for snorkeling with a backdrop of the island's
mountainous tropical rain forest. The Saladan Ferry Pier is the resort’s closest water transport hub, located a 30-minute
drive from the hotel. The journey to Krabi Airport can take at least 90 minutes using a combination of ferries and overland transport.
Rooms
Eight self-catering villas with huge balconies or terraces plus sea views
The resort offers eight modern villas that share an identical floor-plan and take advantage of the location's sea
views. A standout feature the villas are the massive terraces, which start at 75 square meters (807 square feet) and come with
hammocks and cushion beds for lounging. Each villa has its own color motif ranging from purple to yellow or red, reflected in subtle soft furnishings and outdoor Thai-style
lanterns. Decor is a marriage of traditional Thai elements and contemporary pieces, with dark teak furniture and Thai wall hangings next to smart day beds and marble surfaces. Villas are designed for self-catering family and group bookings, comprising two queen-size bedrooms, two bathrooms with semi-outdoor rainfall showers, a full kitchen, a separate
indoor lounge, and outdoor dining area. The semi-outdoor shower design may prove
a little too open to the elements for some guests and there are no baths
available. All villas come with free Wi-Fi, 42-inch flat-screen TVs with
international channels, and air-conditioning. Additional beds or cots can be
arranged.
Features
A sea-view infinity pool but no restaurant or bar
As a property that's designed for those looking for some independence and tranquility, there's a distinctly sedate vibe here that's matched by a lack of many facilities for partying or general merriment. The laid-back vibe is best captured next to the crystal blue saltwater infinity pool that sits at the resort's center and provides a popular vantage point for
sunsets and sea views. The pool is surrounded by white canvas umbrellas and stylish deck chairs that look out to the sea, and there’s an outdoor rainfall shower for guests to wash off after a dip. There's a small kiosk that sells beer, soft drinks, and ice cream on-site, but no proper restaurant or bar. This means that there is no breakfast offered, though the hotel can arrange food delivery service for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with the option to order fresh groceries for home-cooking. A free daily shuttle runs to a collection
of spots on Koh Lanta, and the hotel provides laundry service, tour bookings, and car and motorbike rental. Free Wi-Fi is
available throughout the resort.
