Koh Larn Hotels, Pattaya
7 Island Stays, Clearer Water
Quiet After the Day-Trippers Leave!

Top score in this article at 9.4 — Koh Larn Riviera is one of the very few stays on Koh Larn with a swimming pool of its own, which on a small island like this is genuinely rare, since most places offer only rooms and a beach. It's a 16-room resort on the Na Baan village side, between Tawaen and Ta-Yai beaches, a 15-minute walk from Na Baan pier. What guests mention again and again is that the rooms are cleaner and roomier than you'd expect for Koh Larn, the staff are attentive and hard-working, and there's an outdoor pool plus a kids' pool to swim in without walking down to the beach — handy with small children who aren't ready for the sea.

Lareena Resort is a long-running Koh Larn stay scoring 9.0 from a large 549 reviews — the second-most in this article, a sign that plenty of guests come back. It's on the Na Baan village side, which faces the water back toward Pattaya, just a 5-minute walk from Na Baan pier — the most convenient in this group. What guests mention most are the Suite On Sea and Superior Sea Side rooms, with balconies that look straight out to sea and the lights of Pattaya across the water at night, plus the resort's own seafront restaurant where you can have a quiet dinner once the day-trippers have gone.

Xanadu Beach Resort is the most-reviewed stay in this article, at 755 reviews and a 8.9 score — one of the best-known places to stay on Koh Larn. It sits right on Samae Beach on the south side of the island, a beach known for clear water and fewer crowds than Tawaen. What guests mention most is stepping out of the room straight onto the sand, a stretch that stays calm with no jet-skis, plus the beachfront restaurant where you eat looking at the sea. A resort shuttle brings you over from Na Baan pier.

Tawaen Beach Resort sits right on Tawaen Beach, the main and busiest beach on Koh Larn, scoring 8.7 from 213 reviews. The upside of staying on Tawaen itself is that once the tour boats clear out in the evening, you have the island's busiest beach almost to yourself to walk. What guests mention most are clean, roomy rooms with a big fridge, a TV and a balcony, beach loungers to use, and an on-site restaurant open for all three meals — useful here, since shops on the island close early.

Rimtalay Resort is a seafront resort that opened in 2024, done in white-and-blue, built around sea-view rooms and a private bridge running out over the water, scoring 8.6 from 132 reviews. It's on the Ta-Yai beach side, a 15-minute walk from Na Baan pier. What guests mention most is that nearly every room opens to a near-180-degree sea view — some sit over the water at high tide — and the Laguna rooms let you soak in the tub looking at the sea. A wooden bridge runs out from the property to sit by the water, fish or jig for squid, or shoot the bay view in peace.

The Seacret Kohlarn is an island stay whose rooms look newer and more modern than the Koh Larn average, at an easy price, scoring 8.2 from 220 reviews. It's up on a rise near Dongtan and Tawaen beaches, about a 7-minute walk to the sand (or 5 minutes by motorbike). What guests mention most are clean, pared-back rooms in grey-and-blue that feel more contemporary than you'd expect on the island, and an owner who speaks good English and helps with trip planning. A good fit if you want a smart-looking room on a budget and don't mind not being on the beach.

Suntosa Resort is the cheapest stay in this article, and its selling point is being just a 3-minute walk from Na Baan pier, scoring 8.2 from 122 reviews. It's a small 10-room place in Na Baan village, an easy walk to restaurants, a convenience store and the pier. What guests mention most is how friendly the staff are and how clean the rooms are for the price, and the building has a small terrace bar upstairs for an evening drink. It isn't a beachfront resort, but if you want somewhere cheap, clean and as easy as possible to reach by boat, this is the right balance of location and price.
