About · The people at Saladanp. 02

Araya Lanta is a small team on the northern tip of Koh Lanta. We run the day trips we would recommend to our own families, keep three quiet rooms by the garden, and send our own vans to meet you at the airport.

This is slow travel with a timetable: early starts while the sea is still glassy, long lunches on the sand, snorkelling when the light is right — and a crew who will call it off when the swell says so.

Put a boat day, a room and the ride from the airport into one journey. Nothing is charged when you book; we confirm the boats and rooms by hand, then email you a secure link to pay.

    “Out here the tide keeps the timetable. We simply make sure you are on the boat when it turns.”

    II. The Stay

    Three rooms, one garden by the sea

    Our own rooms in Saladan, five minutes from the pier. Each night is priced by its season, so a stay that crosses into November shows you exactly what changes.

    III. The Road

    A private van, door to door

    Your own air-conditioned van and driver — never shared. One price per vehicle for up to nine passengers and nine large bags. Choose a round trip and we simply count two journeys.

      Journey times are approximate and depend on traffic and the crossing to Lanta. We track your flight, so a delay never costs you extra.
