Layana Resort And Spa

“Breathtakingly good- thankyou for such an amazing stay Layana! Cannot wait for the next one :)”

The kind of place the expression 'heavenly' was made for. I don't say this lightly but I think this place is one of the most wonderful hotels Ive ever been to so much so we changed our booking and stayed longer.

The kind of place the expression 'heavenly' was made for. I don't say this lightly but I think this place is one of the most wonderful hotels Ive ever been to so much so we changed our booking and stayed longer. Im almost loathed to write this review as Im hoping to keep this place my little secret but everything about it from start to finish was beyond exceptional. From what was a very fortuitous last minute booking I consider myself to now be a 'loyal Layana fan' and am planning another trip or two back next year. This place has a very boutique personable relaxed vibe. You can tell from the moment they place the 'layana lei' on you this place is not a chain and is being managed to very high expectations & all is under the careful eye of the amazing Franck who is quite the holiday tastemaker! Everything has been thought about from start to finish- even at the airport you are taken care of! Make no mistake this place is high end and delightfully with none of the gauche that some high end hotels can sometimes have. Really outstanding. There is a very laid back, cool but without being pretentious vibe here - the staff are beyond wonderful & theres tasteful, beautiful decor everywhere you look. The hotel is in a lovely spot in Koh Lanta & has two gorgeous infinity pools overlooking the ocean- one is even saltwater. The rooms are big & very comfortable. We particularly loved the linens & the balcony & lovely gardens outside it was all so super peaceful. Great location too the hotel backs onto on a long white sandy beach with loads of little places to eat and get a massage along it if you want to venture outside (which we rarely did!) The food was really good here, we loved the menus & the breakfasts were fabulous theres nothing you cant get. Theres also a really great gym that was very 'Third Space' with lovely air con in case you need to work off the magnificent brekkie.

We stayed at Layana for 5 days in November, and had an incredible time, every aspect of the guest experience has been considered with no detail out of place. It was perfect for a honeymoon stay, especially as this is an adults only hotel, and most of the other guests were couples. There are enough staff to ensure everything runs smoothly, and you don’t have to wait for service, whether its someone bringing you your 7th cocktail while lounging by the pool, or the room service menu. The food was excellent, especially the white snapper red curry, but if you stay also try and visit the nearby Yang Garden Restaurant which is unmissable. Most of the guests are English and German, since there are some German speaking staff. They also have a Swedish speaker too, with the wonderful Olaf. If you need a laugh, read the bad reviews, and feel pity for the small minority of bitter people who are unable to experience happiness in an island paradise. We hope we are able to visit again and repeat this magical experience.

“100% paradise”

We stayed in one of the stunning, two-story Ocean Deluxe Villas. The villa was a dream. We felt very comfortable and right at home. It was a fantastic experience and a truly relaxing and delightful holiday. Many thanks to the entire Layana team!!!

“Perfect in every way!”

We just had the loveliest time at this resort where everything from the rooms, day trips and people were perfect. The day trips are part of the resort’s offering and of top quality and reasonable pricing. They make it easy to get off campus and enjoy the wonderful area. Also, the whole set up work… more

We just had the loveliest time at this resort where everything from the rooms, day trips and people were perfect. The day trips are part of the resort’s offering and of top quality and reasonable pricing. They make it easy to get off campus and enjoy the wonderful area. Also, the whole set up works very well as the pool and restaurant are both located adjacent to a most beautiful beach. We give it a 5+, especially as it is well priced.
