Tripplo's verdict, based on guest reviews
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 16 October 2026 · How we review hotels
Avani+ Koh Lanta Krabi Resort is built for guests who want to settle in and stay put. It spreads across a green hillside above Koh Kwang Beach, so the sea and the evening sunsets frame much of the day, and two pools, a private beach area, a spa and villas with their own pool keep everything within the resort. Guests speak most warmly about the staff, the spacious rooms and the calm of the grounds, where hornbills nest in the trees. The setting also brings the main trade-offs. The slope is steep, so getting between room, restaurant and beach often means calling a buggy, and there is little within walking distance outside the gates. Several guests found the menus limited on a longer stay. Couples and travellers who want quiet days and a view will feel at home; anyone hoping to stroll out to restaurants in the evening will be happier in a livelier part of the island.
Guests score it 8.7 out of 10 — the average across the 7 hotels we list on Koh Lanta is 9.2.
What Guests Loved
- The resort climbs the hillside above Koh Kwang Beach, so the Andaman Sea is in view from the pools, the restaurants and many rooms. Guests mention the sunsets and the views again and again.
- Staff are the most praised part of a stay, from the housekeepers to the desk at the entrance that helps book excursions. Guests describe them as kind, accommodating and easy to talk to.
Things to Consider
- The resort lies on a quiet stretch near Saladan, away from the busier parts of Koh Lanta. Guests note that there are few restaurants or shops to walk to, so you will need a taxi, a scooter or the excursion desk to get out and about.
- The hotel is built on a cliff, which means a lot of uphill walking. A buggy can be called at any time, but some guests found it tiresome to wait for one every time they went to the restaurant or the beach.
Should you book it?
Avani+ Koh Lanta Krabi Resort is worth booking for couples who want a calm resort with sunset views — but pick somewhere else if you want to walk out to restaurants and shops in the evening.
