The Narima
A beachfront base on Ko Lanta, with sand, a pool, and very little fuss.
A resort in Ko Lanta
The Narima SHA Plus sits directly on the beach at Ko Lanta, a long island in southern Thailand known for its calmer pace compared to Phuket or Krabi town. The resort has a private beach area, an outdoor pool, and an on-site restaurant, which means most of what you need for a straightforward beach stay is already on the property. Rated 4.6/5 across 264 guest reviews, the property earns particular praise for its location, staff, and Wi-Fi. It holds a SHA Plus certification and operates as a non-smoking property throughout.
Who this stay suits
A compact 3-star beachfront resort with direct beach access, a pool, and an on-site restaurant — practical and well-located for a Ko Lanta beach stay.
Best for
- Couples on a beach holiday
- Travellers wanting direct sand access
- Those who prefer eating on-site
- Guests arriving by airport shuttle
Less suited to
- Travellers wanting multiple room configurations
- Those seeking a large resort with extensive facilities
Beachfront position and private beach
The resort sits right at the water's edge on Ko Lanta. A private beach area gives guests direct access to the sand without leaving the property. The outdoor pool is an alternative when the sea is rough or the tide is low.
Bungalows with sea views
The accommodation is arranged as bungalows, each 30 m² with a balcony, patio, and terrace facing the sea. The layout means you can watch the water from your room without walking anywhere.
On-site restaurant
The resort has its own restaurant, which matters on Ko Lanta where options beyond the immediate strip can require a scooter or taxi. Breakfast is rated highly by guests and is available on-site.
Outdoor pool and setting
The outdoor pool sits within the resort grounds with the beach behind it. It is the kind of pool designed for an afternoon rather than laps — appropriate for the pace Ko Lanta generally runs at.
