Saladan Village is where you first arrive on Ko Lanta. There’s several notable resorts, restaurants, bars and cafes to explore
Once a sleepy fishing village, Saladan village has kept its traditional charm and become home to some great restaurants, cafes and bars. No visit to Ko Lanta is complete without a lazy lunch in one of the beautiful old wooden houses on stilts over the sea, several of which are now home to great places to eat.
There is a small beach at Saladan itself which, while not comparable to the iconic Ko Lanta beaches further along the coast, is still quite pretty and fun for walking and paddling.
Several resorts have opened up letting visitors enjoy the great views out over the sea and the convenience of Saladan village on their doorstep.
