The Pimalai has blazed a trail of unrivalled service and quality for the last 20 years and coupled with its unique hideaway location, is one of the best beach resorts in Thailand.

Thailand is well known for its tropical beaches, opulent royal palaces, ancient ruins and ornate temples. Friendly and fun-loving, exotic and tropical, cultured and historic, Thailand radiates a golden hue from its glittering temples and tropical beaches. The owners of Pimalai discovered the lush, hilly land at the tip of Koh Lanta forty years ago. They fell in love with the vivid azure cove, the golden strip of sand, the verdant green of the surrounding hills and decided it was the perfect location to build their paradise resort.

Unlike the rest of Koh Lanta, which has given way to resorts, beach vendors and the hectic buzz of tourism, the natural setting of Pimalai remains virtually untouched to this day, nestled within 100 acres of tropical vegetation with direct access to over half a mile of pristine sandy beach. The name ‘Pimalai’ means ‘a little patch of heaven’ and this beautiful 5* resort certainly delivers the perfect combination of off-the-beaten-track nature with understated yet attentive luxury.

Transfer to the resort by speedboat and enjoy incredible views of some of Thailand’s smaller islands, whilst fabulous snorkelling and diving spots will take you up close to the most wonderful underwater sights. Accommodation is spacious, beautifully furnished and has splendid views of the Andaman Sea from the private swimming pool.
