Located right on the beach in Kantiang Bay, Baan Laanta Resort & Spa is a small, mid-range property with 15 bungalows in the south of Koh Lanta. The resort is a 15-minute drive from the national park at the end of the island, and is just one of a handful of resorts along this quiet stretch of beach. Peaceful bungalows here come either with a sea view or pool view and have modern features such as flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, and electric kettles, plus scenic decks for outdoor relaxing. This resort includes free breakfast and Wi-Fi, but the signal in most rooms is quite poor. There is an on-site atmospheric beachside restaurant along with a funky bar, plus a tiny spa. It’s a decent choice for the size and price point, though it may be worth comparing rates with the larger Lanta Sand Resort and Spa.

The mid-range Lanta Pearl Beach is a small, 32-unit resort located about halfway down Long Beach, on Lanta's west coast. Modern concrete bungalows have air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, safes, mini-fridges, and free Wi-Fi, along with terraces with hammocks to relax on. There's also a small restaurant, a bar, and a coffee spot, but no pool or other typical resort facilities. Although it's fairly basic in terms of decor and amenities, it's not as expensive as nearby spots like Lanta Sand Resort.

The Kaw Kwang Beach Resort is a mid-sized resort that is located in the northwest corner of Koh Lanta. The resort sits alone at the end of Klong Dao Beach, and while not Koh Lanta's best strip of sand, it is quiet and peaceful. Just a few miles from the ferry pier off the island, it's easy to reach. There's an array of rooms here, ranging from beach-view bungalows to rooms overlooking the resort, none of which are overly fancy. Rooms don't have safe boxes, nor do they have WiFi, but they are spacious and have air-conditioning. The rooms are overpriced in high season, but this is Koh Lanta, where most properties don't compare price-wise to many other spots in Thailand. The resort has a small swimming pool, prime beachfront access, and a restaurant that closes, even in high season, at 10 p.m. Other than a tour agency, there are no other facilities here. It's a good spot for families and those who want a quiet escape.

The mid-range Narima Bungalow Resort is a somewhat rustic, back-to-nature-style resort that sits alone amid rain forest trees along tiny Klong Hin beach, toward the southern end of Koh Lanta. All 32 bungalows have traditional thatched roofs and wood floors, and differ only by their position in the forest -- some overlook the beach, while others are closer to the road. They do not have TVs, although there's a 32-inch flat-screen TV in the lobby. Narima has a small three-tiered swimming pool, with a whirlpool on the top level, a kids' pool, and a spa pavilion on the beach. The restaurant and lobby occupy a beautiful high-ceilinged traditional building with a grass-woven roof, hand-carved teak furnishings, and petrified wood tables. Narima Bungalow Resort has some nice touches and a fascinating array of birds and butterflies, and prices are competitive for this caliber. Those who prefer a setting with more beach and less rain forest should consider the similarly priced Lanta Casuarina Beach Resort.

Eurolanta White Rock Resort is a small resort with 20 rooms near Khlong Nin, a beach about halfway down the west coast of Koh Lanta. The resort is not on the beach, but across the street from it. Rooms here come in the form of bungalows, with fine wood exteriors, although the insides show some wear. They all come with dated, flat-panel TVs as well as safes and mini-fridges being the only amenities; showers lack curtains. The resort has a swimming pool out back, a small open-air restaurant with a cooking school, and a bar, and staff can arrange all sorts of excursions and transportation around the island. The herb garden here is lovely, but the rest of the property feels dated, and the high season prices do not offer a solid value compared to similar nearby properties.
