About

Sea Shell Beach Resort

Sea Shell Beach Resort sits on the sands of Koh Lanta, a 10-minute ride from Lanta Animal Welfare. It is a low-key, family-run property where the emphasis is on relaxed days by the sea: an outdoor seasonal pool, sun loungers on the beach, and a terrace built for evening cocktails as the sun drops.

Rooms are simple and spacious, with king-size beds, air conditioning, an electric kettle and a refrigerator in many units. The on-site restaurant turns out fresh juices and local cooking, and staff are consistently described as warm and helpful. Parking is available, though the resort is best enjoyed on foot, with shops and minimarts within easy reach.

“We only stayed a couple of nights, but one evening we sat on the beach with the waves rolling in and cocktails in hand. The pool area was so inviting that we ended up spending hours just lounging and taking it all in.”

8.8Verified guest

“This is our go-to spot in Koh Lanta. A reasonable base for four nights, with a particularly good and absolutely incredible location—about a medium walk from Hat Khlong Khlong. The rooms are extremely spacious, and the A/C and bed were comfortable.”

8.8Verified guest

“Great range of food and the cooking was brilliant. Our suite had a comfy bed, an electric kettle, a fridge, and air conditioning. The location in Koh Lanta is unbeatable—close to the beach, to Ko Lanta itself, and to the shops and minimarts.”

“Go for a double room with a comfy bed and A/C—that's what we did. It cost USD 959. The restaurant is nice, and the location is exceptionally good and unbeatable, right by the sea.”

“I really liked my room—the bed was comfy, and the electric kettle and refrigerator worked well. The staff were incredibly helpful and gave us some great recommendations. The location is good and absolutely incredible, close to the sea. We ate at The Lazy Lodge Restaurant, which is just a short stroll from the property.”

“The warmth of the family-run feel was the highlight. Cooking was great, with fresh juices and a sunset view every evening that you can't beat. Our double room was comfortable and had an amazing view of the beach.”
