Overview

EDITOR’S INDEPENDENT REVIEW:Twin Lotus Resort & Spa is one of Koh Lanta’s market leaders, at the forefront of the inevitable upmarket transformation of this island. Lanta began as an off-track, backpackers’ haven, then moved to a mid-range, 2- and 3-star family resort. Twin Lotus’s 2013 refurbishment – or reinvention, we might better call it – as a plush, 4-star adult resort built in the Bali-inspired Tropical Asian style is a sign of what’s to come.

With Twin Lotus’s two neighbours both being modern and attractively designed, this far north end of Klong Dao Beach has become the trendiest sector of the island. Twin Lotus has the added luxury of expansive grounds, a full 5 hectares (12 acres) in which their new range of villas and deluxe rooms can find breathing space among trees, gardens and lawns. Most public buildings are open-sided, allowing the breezes to sweep right through, and have stylish single roofs with distinctly modern Asian lines to their curves and flourishes. Wood pole supports are prominent as both structure and design.

The four different style of villas come in independent two-story and single level designs, with the latter being closer to the beach. The Deluxe Beachfront and Deluxe Seaview villas are the elite among them. The Garden Villas offer upper and ground level units, with plenty of outdoors space. All villas have balconies from which to enjoy either the beach and ocean views, or the tropical gardens. Minimum villa size is a respectable 38 sq metres. Villa interiors are exceptionally plush, with floor to ceiling glass doors letting in the views and light.

The two room types are in low-lying, 2-storey blocks facing wide open lawns and gardens. All have balconies, and while the external structure is not as attractive as the villas, the interiors are entirely modern and comfortable, with natural wood floors, doors and furniture. Both villas and rooms have the standard 4-star facilities.

The beachfront of Twin Lotus is equally modern and attractive, with much of its 170 metre length given over to dining by the sand. Both of the resort’s restaurants are down here by the beach with great views. The main pool is close to the beach, but does not crowd it. Quite a few trees have been left here, providing shade. Beachfront villas occupy another portion of the beach area.

The overall effect of these modern accommodations spread through spacious gardens, with open-air Tropical Asian styles throughout is refreshing and something new for Koh Lanta. As the trees and foliage grow each year the tropical mood will be enhanced yet more.

The beach in front of Twin Lotus is wider than most of Khlong Dao, sloping gently the shallow water. There is more open space and thicker trees at this end. One could easily say this is the most attractive and natural part of Klong Dao beach. The easy walking access it gives to the quaint little village of Saladan is an added plus here. For now, this top end of Klong Dao is the elite end of the beach, in more ways than one. The fact that Twin Lotus does not take children under 18 is significant, for this beach has long been a favourite with families. It’s another sign of the changing times on this island, and the emergence of more stylish and romantic beach resorts here for couples seeking sophistication and tranquillity.

Lovely sandy beaches, an endless stretch of Andaman Sea and a collection of 70 neighboring islands topped with lush evergreen forest make Koh Lanta in Krabi nothing less than paradise.

The island is the main gateway to the exotic coral reefs and marine life of the Andaman Sea. Diving expeditions, snorkeling and sea kayaking are just some of the options available to you. For diving tours, don’t miss places such as Hin Daeng & Hin Muang, the King Cruiser Wreck, Anemone Reef, Hin Bida, Koh Bida and Koh Ha, which is primarily known for its underwater caves.

Other activities include attending Thai Cooking classes, elephant trekking, fishing trips, as well as eco- tourism tours and guided tours of the mainland. Situated on the eastern coast are beautiful mangrove forests of Tung Yee Peng that you won’t want to miss.

Last but not the least, a visit to the Lanta Old Town is a must. Located on the eastern side of Koh Lanta, this is a small quaint village inhabited by Thai fishing families, Chinese merchants and a community of sea gypsies. You’ll also find a Buddhist temple, Chinese temple, an art gallery and a selection of restaurants which give it a contemporary feel.
