Chill Out Resort

Chill Out Resort sits on Koh Lanta, a long island in the Andaman Sea off the coast of Krabi, accessible by ferry from Lang Sod pier. The island draws travelers looking to slow down — fewer crowds than Phuket or Koh Samui, longer stretches of quieter beach, and a pace that suits those with a week rather than a weekend. With a guest rating of 8.8 across 105 reviews, the property earns its reputation without the weight of a star classification behind it.

The resort is oriented around families and couples who have made the journey deliberately. A family room is available for those traveling with children, and the on-site pool gives younger guests somewhere to be while adults decompress. Breakfast is served on the property, which matters on an island where wandering out early in search of coffee can eat into the morning.

For guests arriving by boat or road after a long travel day, the airport shuttle removes one variable from an itinerary that already involves ferries and transfers. Rooms are available from 14:30, giving arriving guests time to settle before the afternoon fades, and checkout at 10:00 leaves a reasonable window for a final morning swim before the return journey begins. Free Wi-Fi throughout the property means those who need to stay loosely connected can do so without hunting for signal — useful on an island where infrastructure can be unpredictable.
