Lanta Pearl Beach
Welcome to Lanta Pearl Beach Bungalow Resort in the middle of the beautiful Long Beach (Phra Ae Beach) on Ko Lanta.
This Bungalow Resort is one of Ko Lantas oldest and almost last family-run Resorts on the island. But despite the fact of a continuously growing popularity of the area, the 3 generation of family members running this place manage to hold up a true sense of Thai authenticity & hospitality until these days.
Ko Lanta forms the most southern district of Krabi province and is an ideal jump-off point for the unspoilt Turatao islands (Ko Lipe) or Langkawi (Malaysia). It was known long ago by its name in the Malay language, Pulao Satak, which means Long Beach Island. Later, so many Thais, both Buddhist and Muslim, came to live on the island that there seemed to be a million eyes, which is what some people think Lanta means in Thai. Others hold that the name is corrupted from Javanese "lan-tas", and means a fish grill (which is built of wood with a square grill on top where the fish are set in a circle).
But what is Ko Lanta really like? It's an island of wonderful beaches facing west, with magical sunsets and verdant jungle. It's an island people come back to, again and again. A place where it's always around 30 degrees Celsius, where time is soon forgotten and where you can spend hours watching the antics of hermit crabs.
It's a place where your most difficult decision of the day will be, if you have a snack before the massage or just a freshly squeezed juice and where the famous Bartender Nit will help you out by saying: "Up to you!" Why spoil the day with work, if it works to be spoilt by the day.
The timeless magic that makes this place and this island so special cannot be broken by a few modern conveniences.
Just south of Thailands southern capital Phuket, the worldwide famous Phi Phi-Islands and the south western coastal town of Krabi, on the east side of Phang Nga Bay, exists this unique, unspoiled tropical island. Ko Lanta Yai preserves its community spirit in both family and business life. With clear, cool waters and superb white sand beaches stretching along a 27 kilometer coastline, its paradisaical appeal remains unmarred by mass tourism. The island, which reaches a height of almost 500 meters at its extreme end, also boasts a mountain range covered with rain forest.
The Ko Lanta archipelago is made up of over fifty small islands, though only three are inhabited: Ko Lanta Yai , Ko Lanta Noi and Ko Ngai. Ko Lanta Yai is the most attractive to tourists, with its impressive beaches and activities for visitors. Approximately 10,000 of the regions’ 20,000 inhabitants reside on Ko Lanta Yai. It's residents are practicing Thai Buddhists as well as Thai Muslims, peacefully living equal among each other and deriving their income from rubber farming, fishing, palm tree growing, coconut or cashew nut plantations and the travel industry.
The island itself runs from north to south, with the west coast established as the main tourist area, offering accommodations for all budgets, a variety of activities, and a choice of bars and restaurants. Picture-perfect sunsets towards the world famous Phi Phi Islands can be seen from any of the many beaches, while the colorful local fishing boats known as “long tails” bob lazily in the foreground. It's still one of the worlds unspoilt, secret places where time has no saying and life is no pressure.
The east coast is far less developed, affording the curious explorer a glimpse of life outside of tourism. Facing toward the mainland, the coastline largely consists of mangroves, with yellow sand beaches towards the southern end. It’s here you will find the ancient Sea Gypsy Village, home to the indigenous settlers on Ko Lanta who live in harmony with the sea.
