About
Lanta New Beach Bungalows - Sha Plus
Lanta New Beach Bungalows is a 3-star property on Koh Lanta’s western shore, about 2.7 km from Phra Ae Beach. The setting is quiet and uncrowded, with a private beach, a garden, and a pier nearby. It suits travellers who want simple comfort and direct access to the sea without the resort fuss.
The hotel offers a range of rooms from standard doubles to family bungalows, plus two swimming pools, a restaurant, and a snack bar. Free Wi-Fi is available in public areas, and there’s parking on site. Note that pets are not allowed.
Guest feedback paints a picture of a friendly, relaxed place with helpful staff. The beach is a highlight, though swimming can be affected by tides. Rooms are generally clean but on the modest side – you’re paying for location and atmosphere rather than luxury.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Direct beach access — The property sits right on a quiet stretch of sand – guests repeatedly mention the beautiful, uncrowded beach and the pier setting. Low tide can limit swimming, but for sunbathing and views it's hard to beat.
- Two swimming pools — One pool is by the beach, another is shaded inland. Both are described as clean and not too crowded, giving you options depending on sun or shade.
- Friendly and helpful staff — From booking tours to finding extra sheets, the team earns consistent praise. The bar staff in particular are noted for their enthusiasm and service.
- Good value for money — Rooms from £29 per night, plus a beachfront location and reasonable on-site dining, make this a budget-friendly choice. Guests mention affordable food and drinks at the restaurant.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Rooms are basic — The bungalows are clean but not modern. Several guests note that the rooms lack contemporary finishes – you're getting functionality, not frills.
- Low tide affects swimming — The beach can be too shallow for a proper swim at low tide, though snorkeling is possible at high tide. This is a natural condition of the location, not a fault of the hotel.
- Strict check-in window — Check-in is only between 14:00 and 21:00. If you arrive later, you'll need to plan ahead – there's no mention of a 24-hour front desk.
- No pets — Pets are not allowed on the property, so if you're travelling with an animal, this hotel won't work.

04 — Location
Getting around Koh Lanta
The property sits in Koh Lanta.
On the beach: The property sits on a quiet, uncrowded stretch of sand with a small pier. Low tide limits swimming, but you can wade or snorkel at high tide – it's a peaceful spot to unwind.
Nearby dining: The hotel's own beachfront restaurant serves tasty Thai food at reasonable prices. There's also a minimart and other restaurants within easy walking distance.
Phra Ae Beach: About 2.7 km away, this is a more developed stretch with bars and more dining options – a short ride if you fancy a change of scenery.
