Wine & Dine

Long Beach has a way of slowing down even the most restless traveler, and that's exactly the feeling we've built our dining around at Lanta Sand Resort & Spa. Our two venues sit right on the sand, overlooking the Andaman Sea, offering authentic Thai flavors at our Koh Lanta Thai restaurant, easy international favorites, and golden hour drinks at our beachfront bar in equal measure.

The Sand Restaurant: All-Day Dining on Koh Lanta

Opening Hours: Daily, 07.00 – 21.00

The Sand Restaurant is our all-day dining home on Long Beach. Open daily, it features 45 indoor seats and 15 terrace seats with refreshing sea breezes and contemporary tropical décor. As an authentic Thai restaurant in Koh Lanta travelers enjoy, it serves a thoughtful mix of local classics and international comfort food, with priority placed on fresh, locally sourced ingredients from nearby farmers and fishermen.

Signature Thai dishes guests love include Chicken Massaman Curry, Tom Kha Gai, Tom Yum Goong, and Som Tam served with grilled chicken. Sourcing locally helps reduce transportation emissions while supporting the island community, and it adds genuine island character to every plate.

During high season and festive periods, the restaurant hosts themed dining nights including Fusion East Meets West Night, Lanta Island Night, and Thai Night, accompanied by live entertainment such as Elvis shows, cabaret performances, fire shows, and private candlelit dinners on the beach. We also cater for weddings, retirement parties, group celebrations, and private events for up to 80 guests.

Breakfast

Mornings begin with our buffet breakfast, served daily from 07.00 to 10.30.

The spread features a variety of international and Thai selections, including a live egg station, sausages, pancakes, fresh salads, cold cuts, Thai dishes, breads, cereals, seasonal fresh fruits, and a beverage station with coffee, tea, and juices. Breakfast is included for guests on room plans with daily breakfast, and those without can purchase it separately upon arrival.

Lunch & Dinner

Our à la carte lunch and dinner menu features authentic Thai dishes alongside popular Western favorites, including grilled seafood, spicy soups, salads, curries, sandwiches, burgers, pizzas, pasta, and Thai desserts.

Thai favorites include Tom Yum Goong, Green Curry, Pad Thai, Spicy Papaya Salad, and Mango Sticky Rice. From the international menu, guests enjoy Smoked Salmon Pizza, Chicken Quesadillas, Grilled Lamb Rack, and Chicken Masala Tikka with naan bread. Pad Thai is our recommended chef's special. Vegetarian dishes are available, and we kindly ask guests to inform us of any food allergies before or upon check-in.

Sunset Dining

For a memorable dinner with a sea view that Koh Lanta guests cherish, time your reservation for golden hour. The terrace looks straight onto the Andaman Sea, and as the sun sets over the horizon, dinner becomes a slow, unhurried experience. Romantic sunset dining and special arrangements for proposals or anniversaries are available upon request, with advance reservation required.

Sand Sunset Bar: Beachfront Bar on Koh Lanta

Opening Hours: Daily, 11.00 – 21.00

A few steps from the restaurant, our Koh Lanta bar with sea view sits right on Long Beach, offering a relaxed setup with 20 seats and direct sightlines to the Andaman Sea. Open daily from 11.00 to 21.00, Sand Sunset Bar has a laid-back, easygoing vibe. It's a welcoming Koh Lanta bar with sunset views for guests who want a casual drink in a beachfront setting.

Drinks Menu

Our signature cocktail is the Lanta Sand Beach House, a refreshing tropical mix of Mekhong, fresh lime, ripe mango chunks, raw sugar, and mint, inspired by the vibrant beachside spirit of Lanta.

A selection of local and imported beers is available, including Singha, Chang, Leo, Heineken, Corona Extra, and Guinness. Wines are served by the glass and by the bottle. For non-alcoholic options, the menu includes mocktails, Italian soda, fresh fruit shakes, juices, soft drinks, coffee, and tea.

The Sunset Experience

As a sea-view bar Koh Lanta guests enjoy, Sand Sunset Bar comes alive between 16.00 and 19.00 when the sky begins to turn.
