Koh Lanta Island Bungalows & Resorts Reservations:
The Houben

Koh Lanta Island covers 472 square kilometres in Krabi Province and is an archipelago of more than 50 big and small islands. They are protected as a Marine National Park, thereby ensuring unspoiled nature and greenery. 13 white sandy beaches can be found along the west coast of Koh Lanta Island, Kantiang Beach and Phra-Ae Beach being regarded as the most beautiful ones. The east cost of Kolanta Island is flat and protected by mangrove forests with many local villages scattered along its coastline. The biggest town on the island is Lanta Old Town which is locally known as Ban Si Raya. While it was a commercial port for Chinese and Arabic trading boats in the past, it is a picturesque town featuring rows of old wooden Chinese shop-houses by today. Further south, along the coastline, local fishermen anchor their long-tail boats giving the whole scene a very serene and exotic look. The best time of the year to visit Koh Lanta Island is between November and May.

The Houben Koh Lanta is a modern, private villa-style hotel and comprises only 15 oceanfront rooms graciously perched on a cliff overlooking a striking panoramic view of southern Koh Lanta's coast and the Andaman Ocean. The Houben is a hideaway for a relaxing vacation in utmost luxurious privacy with natural surroundings, but with easy access to the pristine white sandy beaches of Koh Lanta Island and many other attractions on Koh Lanta and its surrounding islands in the Andaman Sea. The Houben Lanta is located close to Baan Kantiang Beach on the south-western coast of Koh Lanta Yai Island in Krabi Province.

All 15 rooms are equipped with the latest technology and include air conditioning, cable/satellite TV with CD/DVD player, direct dial phone, refrigerator with mini bar, tea and coffee making facilities and a safe deposit box, free Wi-Fi internet access is available throughout the hotel. Bathrooms come with hot/cold water, toiletries, bathrobes, slippers and hairdryer.

The Houben Kolanta is located on a cliff, but guests can easily walk to nearby Ba Kantaing Beach within 5 to 10 minutes. For the guests' utmost comfort on the beach while relaxing and enjoying their holiday time, we recommend the most exotic beach restaurant on the island, which is named "Same Same But Different" and located on the southern end of Kantiang Bay. Guests of The Houben Lanta can use the whole facility to enjoy drinks and snacks, lunch or dinner including use of the restroom. The Houben can also arrange a complimentary drop-off at "Same Same But Different" upon request.

The Houben Lanta is the ideal place to escape from city life, fully relax from the hustle and bustle of modern life and rejuvenate while enjoying superb European and Thai cuisine at the "Red Alert" restaurant. Dip into the salt water swimming pool laid out with red colour tiles and ensuite Jacuzzi to freshen up your mind and discover the secret serenity and beauty of the sunset on the Andaman Sea. Spa facilities at The Houben offer a choice of different scrubs, facial and body treatments in 2 indoor treatment rooms with air condition and an outdoor Jacuzzi.

Recreational activities and excursions are numerous at The Houben and include mountain biking, motor cycling around the island, sightseeing and island discovery tours by minivan to visit Lanta Orchid Nursery, Lanta Butterfly Garden or the Old Town, swimming, snorkelling, sunbathing, canoeing, kayaking, sailing or even elephant trekking through the forests of Southern Koh Lanta Island.
