Overview Rooms Facilities Gallery Rate Card Reviews

 

Peace, Serenity, Solitude. These are the words that come to mind for Pimalai. Add to that luxury, elegance, natural surroundings and genuine friendly service.

Be it for a honeymoon, a diving experience, a break from it all or even for a business meeting in Krabi then Pimalai, nestled in a lush tropical forest, is the Andaman destination to set your sights on. This exclusive beach resort combines all the right ingredients - subtle five star comforts, natural beauty and lots of space. Located well distant from crowded beaches and resorts, the only sound is that of the waves sliding in and out and slowly breaking onto the sandy shore. 

Accomodation
Speaking the language of contemporary Thai design, the rooms, suites and villas are exquisitely appointed with tropical polished wooden floors, bamboo blinds and dark wood furniture, finding the ideal balance between modern calm and exotic luxury.

Built within the rainforest as it meets the silver ocean strand, you would hardly know Pimalai was there. The luxury beach resort occupies 100 acres of tropical vegetation with direct access to a 900 meters stretch of pristine sandy beach and offers 121 accommodation units - Deluxe, Bayfront Deluxe, Pavillion Suite, Beach Villa and Pool Villa - all very elegantly appointed.

Getting There
It takes about 1 hour by the resort boat to reach Koh Lanta and The Pimalai Resort from the main land. This is about what you have to bear with to find one of these rare lost paradise in tourist Thailand.

Dining
The exciting choices of 5 restaurants & 5 bars including beach bars offer an extensive variety of cuisines to suit everyone's tastes. Each restaurant has its own style with superb view of the pool and/or the Andaman Sea. The delicious traditional and tasty dishes for which Thai food are deservedly famous, plus the best recipes of seafood and international cuisine, all prepared with extra fresh ingredients, chosen with care by our cooks and chefs.

Spa
The seven treatment huts equipped with double or single beds are mainly used for aromatherapy massages and body wraps or body scrub treatments. An imposing open-air pavilion standing at the bottom of the small valley is home to the Thai traditional massage whilst just across, the outdoor Jacuzzi with the adjacent herbal sauna just awaits for you to dip in, refresh and cleanse your body before your selected treatment.

Diving
A small boutique dive center situated within the Pimalai Resort & Spa on the edge of a lush tropical rain forest on Ba Kantiang beach. The only dive center on Koh Lanta, dive trips are run direct from the south of the island, so you are only a short trip away from the best and most remote dive sites in Thailand. 

Daily dive tours are offered and special trips and night dives are available from October to May (weather permitting). The new 20 meter boat is the most modern and luxurious dive boat operating in Andaman waters, providing a stable platform, furnished air conditioned saloons and sun decks.
