Pimalai Resort And Spa

Incredible place. Amazing facilities on a stunning beach with staff going above and beyond to make sure everything was smooth during our stay.

The location and the beautiful beach

The food quality

It was remote, not crowded, and incredibly gorgeous scenery

It is a bit far from Krabi airport. But otherwise there is a lot to do both through the resort and on Koh Lanta

We spent a wonderful week at Pimalai Resort & Spa in Koh Lanta, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. Even the arrival was perfectly organized. We were picked up at the airport and smoothly transferred to the resort by van and a short boat ride. Everything felt very professional — the staff knew exactly who we were, where our luggage needed to go, and made sure the journey was completely effortless. We had booked a Deluxe Room and, since we were on our honeymoon, we were welcomed with a lovely room decoration, a small cake, and a bottle of sparkling wine. The sleeping area was a bit smaller and not as modern compared to other hotels we’ve stayed in, but the bathroom, however, was spacious and well-designed. We had a room on the upper floor with a beautiful sea view — something we can absolutely recommend. For swimming, there are two large pools as well as direct access to the beach. There were always plenty of sun loungers and umbrellas available, and the pool service was excellent. There are also plenty of activities to enjoy at the resort. Guests can borrow bicycles to explore the surroundings, or take part in one of the organized experiences. We joined the Thai cooking class (2,650 Baht per person), which was an absolute highlight. The class was led by one of Pimalai’s chefs, who explained everything clearly and with great enthusiasm. The setup was beautifully arranged, and the food we prepared was delicious. At the end, everyone received a Pimalai cooking apron to take home — such a lovely touch and a perfect souvenir from this special experience. The food in general was outstanding. We had booked half board and were able to dine every evening in one of the three restaurants. The food quality was exceptional, and there was a wide variety to choose from. There were also themed buffet nights with changing menus, which were all beautifully done. Our favorite by far was The Seven Seas — the food there was phenomenal, and the service was truly outstanding. A special thank you to the waitresses Aom, Mai Cha and especially Yu Ewin, who did an absolutely amazing job. They were so kind, attentive, and professional — they made every dinner a special experience. We would have loved to stay longer and will definitely return one day. Thank you, Pimalai, for an unforgettable stay and for making our honeymoon so special!

What a beautiful hotel. I felt truly spoilt staying here. My husband and I stayed here with my daughter and her boyfriend for 5 nights. We had a one bedroom suite and they had a one bedroom next to us in their own unit. The suite was stunning, beautifully furnished and every detail thought of, it felt pure luxury. The hotel grounds are very lush and well kept, running down to a long and sandy beach. Breakfast was delicious, taken in one of the three restaurants, a vast choice and excellent, attentive service. We are in the beach restaurant Rak Talay a couple of times and again the food and service were second to none. Shout out to Noi, who works on Reception and was so helpful and kind, as were all the staff. I would love to return to Pimalai.

This place is paradise. It’s perfect in every way! The rooms are secluded and the views spectacular. The whole attention to detail makes this place second to none! Highly recommended

These is nothing not to like….

From Krabi airport , they pick you up and you have about 2 hours trip ( boat and car ) to get there . Beautiful scenery , nice rooms , very comfortable bed & soft bed sheets , nice towels . The beach is very pretty too . But the hotel is more like chain hotels than small luxury hotel . The restaurant in the middle , the tables is so close to each other that has no privacy . The beach bed same thing , even thought the beach is big and empty . We would stay at the beach restaurant and didn’t used the beds . Staff in the beach restaurant and in the hill restaurant were very nice .yoga and most of the sport classes you have to pay extra which for a resort is not great . Normally most resorts have daily free yoga or other sport classes .food quality is ok . All together pleasant stay but not very privacy.. pool also all jammed next to each others . Good for family .. kids everywhere .
