    The only downside is that there is only airconditioning in the bedroom. The rest of the villa does have a fan.

    The staff was wonderful, they were so lovely and kind. We loved our stay. The pool was very nice and the villas were really comfortable.

    This property is located in a quieter part of Koh Lanta, with the beach and restaurants within a short walking distance. The facilities are excellent, with a lovely gardened pool area and a coffee shop on site. The stay are very welcoming and friendly, thus making your stay as perfect as possible.

    If hanging out in the beach is your thing, this might not be the hotel for you. While there is pretty nice beach about a 20 mini walk, it isn’t your typical “tourist” beach. There is one cool little beach bar, but it’s not the “sitting on a lounger drinking cocktails “ kind of beach. We had just spent 4 nights at a beach front property, so for us, it was fine.

    Arthaya Villas is an amazing little hotel. The grounds are beautifully landscaped; an oasis right on a busy street. The pool is beautiful, though it gets full sun all day, so the temp isn’t exactly refreshing. The Villas are spacious and the bed was super comfortable. There’s a small kitchenette, but beyond reheating or doing something like pasta, I couldn’t really see cooking there. But there’s no need to cook anyway! If you don’t have a car or motorbike, or don’t enjoy walking, you may feel a little limited in your nearby dining options. But I highly recommend that you try Yang Garden Cafe. It’s only a few minutes away, walking, is beautiful, and was one of the best meals we’ve had in Thailand. Cosi restaurant is a little further north, and also excellent. Breakfast wasn’t included for us, but the on-site cafe has excellent food and we ate breakfast there every day. We rented motorbikes on-site for part of our stay, which I highly recommend so that you can explore the island. If you don’t, and this is your only stay on Koh Lanta, you’ll miss out on fully experiencing the island. Ya helped us with our transportation going from Lanta to our next stop, which saved us time and money. Probably the thing that we appreciated most about Arthaya Villas is their dedication to being environmentally responsible. In a country where there is so much single-use plastic (creating litter everywhere) and a general disregard for recycling, conserving, etc., this hotel gets gold stars. Ya, the owner, provides recycling facilities, uses refillable glass water bottles (rather that all-too-common plastic that the majority of hotels use), and the fact they capture solar power to provide almost all of the power to the hotel is beyond impressive. Other hotels have a lot to learn from Ya and her team. Thanks for everything, Ya! You have an amazing place!

    Really nice place

    Nothing.

    We had a two bedroom villa for our family of 2 parents and 2 young-adult children. The villa is laid out well: there is a set of table and chairs outside, where me and my husband conducted ZOOM meetings. Upon entry, there is a kitchen with a full size fridge, some dishes and cutlery, a frying pan and stove, a microwave oven. The adjacent living room has a nice TV, coffee table and desk. There are 2 bedrooms with comfortable beds, and one bathroom. The water pressure in the bathroom shower is good. We all loved the pool. It's not huge, but it's a good size and it's set within beautiful surroundings. In fact, the entire place is beautifully landscaped with colorful flowers and tropical plants. In terms of eating, we walked to nearby restaurants - there are many to choose from. We also had breakfast in the Arthaya cafe one morning, and quite enjoyed it. My daughters fell in love with the resident cat, who is timid at first, but then warms up to pats. The owner?/manager is great to deal with. She's good at understanding what patrons need/are asking for. I told her about our less-than-perfect transfer from Aonang to Ko Lanta, and she made sure that we had a proper hotel to hotel transfer back to Krabi. We had a great time at Arthaya and would not hesitate to return.

    * The conditioner is blowing in your face during the night. Had to move a bed to other wall then return it back. * Very slight smell at the kitchen, not critical. * The AC instead of the fan in the living room would be better, but also not critical.

    * Clean * Friendly personnel * Comfortable stay * Amenities * Amazing territory with vegetate and oven some chickens * Good and affordable kitchen

    My stay here was AMAZING! This experience exceeded my expectations. Starting from beautiful and clean villa, ending with an amazing stuff and such nice owners. There is an option to rent a scooter which is useful to have to move around an Island. Beautiful beach few meters away from villa. I was travelling solo and felt super safe, so thank you for that! :)

    Our only very minor feedback was that the Wi-Fi seemed a little weak in our room

    We had an absolutely perfect stay at Arthaya villas. Our room was large and spacious, impeccably clean, and the AC worked great. Ya the owner was extremely hospitable and made sure we were happy with our whole experience. The cafe/restaurant was also quite good; I highly recommend the smoothie bowl.

    This hotel was in 1 word: fantastic! It's a beautiful place, with a lot of green. The rooms are spacious and clean, even equiped with a full kitchen. The woman from the hotel helped us book excellent tours, provided us with a scooter and arranged our airport transport. She helps you with everything you need and does it always with a smile! Every morning you get a delicious breakfast with plenty of fresh fruit. The staff is kind and treats you with so much respect. The location is perfect. Away from the busy area around the pier, but close to so many beautiful beaches. Also plenty of restaurants nearby, with Yawee as a real 'must go to'. The small price you only pay for a hotel like this, is a bonus! We would come back here without a doubt!

    Nothing. The only thing noteworthy is that Koh Lanta in general has few areas with sidewalks and poor lighting, so it’s not so walking friendly but we managed. We rented a scooter for a few days and this was a great idea, Arthaya is well located to be in a quiet area and explore on both directions with scooter. To the nearest beach is a short walk and there’s plenty restaurants as well.

    Beautiful garden in a quiet part of town, you can see the love and care put into the property. The room was bright, and had a lovely terrace with view to the pool and the pond, but it was private at the same time due to the jungly garden the property has, which again is so beautiful. They had really good coffee and the fruit plate they have has their own papaya that they grow in the garden, delicious! Kha, the manager, was one of the best people I ever met, passionate about making your stay a lovely experience, we wanted Thai breakfast, and she made it happen for us, as an attention on her end. Never in the many hotels I stayed in the world, I had someone so attentive and caring. I recommend booking tours with her, she gets you the best deals. We did a snorkelling trip to Koh Rok and Koh Ha and everywhere the price was around 1500-1700 baht per person, she got it for us for 1100! The staff was also incredible friendly and caring, they make really good coffee and the western breakfast was one of the best I had in Thailand, the avocado toast a must try. Thank you Kha and team for a great stay!
