Pimalai Resort and Spa

Krabi, Thailand

Tucked away on the tiny island of Koh Lanta facing the Andaman Sea

A secluded island paradise set against a backdrop of lush tropical forest, Pimalai Resort and Spa Thailand sits alongside a vast stretch of sandy beach. A superb choice of four fantastic restaurants and three bars, a spa, two stunning infinity pools, tennis courts and a PADI dive centre, this is truly a world apart.
‘Peace, serenity and solitude’ is the mantra here at Pimalai Resort and Spa with spacious room, suite and villa accommodation. A number of the villas are set on the hillside and have their own private infinity pools. In the evening, sit on your veranda and watch the deep orange of the setting sun as it disappears over the horizon against a dark blue sea and sky.

Enjoy your stay!

Environmentally Conscious

Alongside refillable ceramic bottles, sugar cane straws, electric golf carts, a coral propagation programme, and “Say No to Plastic” bags whose proceeds support plastic-free activities of local schools, Pimalai Resort offers nature and wildlife walks around its grounds and organic gardens. Together with the Thai Fishery Department, Pimalai has held the annual clownfish release at Koh Haa for 12 years, a neighbouring archipelago which hopes to soon be recognised as a fish sanctuary.

Cultural Custodians

Just steps away from the Andaman Sea, Pimalai Resort has been designed with both nature and Koh Lanta culture in mind. Island details are woven throughout the interiors, including bird cage lampshades inspired by the local singing contests of the Red-Whiskered Bulbul birds, and a traditional long-tail boat decorating the Rak Talay Restaurant, which gives guests an authentic taste of Koh Lanta cuisine. The resort also organises Thai cooking classes, Muay Thai sessions, and Batik painting with local artists.

SLH Considerate Collection

Community Minded

Though secluded in its tropical setting, Pimalai Resort fosters a strong sense of community through a number of island initiatives, including beach clean-ups, eco mangrove forest tours with local guides in gondola boats, and recommended visits to artisan stalls and shops in the Old Town. The resort helps to promote Aunty Bee’s Eco Handicraft, a local boutique selling bags made from recycled products, while sourcing all seafood from local suppliers who respect the marine ecosystem.
