Large ponds with water lilies and spraying fountains cover the grounds of Lanta Sand Resort and Spa. Aged-brick paths meander from villa to pool to spa, where aromatic candles burn, illuminating Thai silk tapestries. Northern Thai-style villas have marble floors and all but the standard rooms have outdoor garden baths. Honeymooners are greeted with flowers, cake, and champagne. Beachside massage is available for all. Pros: quiet and suitable for romantic getaways. Cons: far from any town.
