The Bay is a little-known, beach-lovers haven where you can truly relax and soak up the sunshine and beach-life of an island paradise.There's plenty of things to do; live a castaway dream, paddle in the warm, crystal-clear waters of the Andaman Sea, learn to scuba dive, or just make Kantiang Bay your sun-kissed home for a while. « less

One of the best beaches I've swam at. Stayed north (long beach) where it's cheaper and scootered down to this beach, had some excellent body surfing, swimming, and views.

Kantiang at the south of Lanta is no doubtedly the best beach in Lanta, the sunset view is so tremendous that can make you forget everything.

Has the essentials, some great bars, a 7-11, supermarket and some great resorts. A very friendly spot where you won't get hasstled to buy things. Great beachfront dining and bars!

Kantiang is not commercialised in a big way so still has the feel of a quiet peaceful beach with clean sand. A couple of little restaurant bars and some local shops at the end of the beach give a sense of the local life.

Kantiang bay is the best beach on the Island. Clean, nice sand (also on low tide) and very private. Nice sunsets as well.

went here hoping it would be a less touristy place than the beaches further north. has turned into a smaller version of the resort areas with kids families.. To calm for young people, and not a place for singles!

I stayed at Kantiang twice whilst I was on Koh Lanta. Loved the Why Not bar and the Why Not band played every night. Brill.

The setting is beautiful, with a view of Koh Haa at a distance, and jungle all around. All the hotels in the bay look well kept and tidy and at the southern most end of the beach there is a really nice little restaurant. The sand is fine and the beach is wide. At high tide the water gets deep... More
