Location
This unique and stunning property, recently voted Thailand’s Leading Resort 2007, is
located on the southern coast of Koh Lanta, which still maintains the laid-back vibe which has disappeared from other islands. Please ask us about the various ways to get to Lanta.
Emphasis here has been placed on building this resort in keeping with the natural environment, and all employees are trained in the recycling programme. The resort occupies 100 acres of lush hillside vegetation overlooking the Andaman sea (with the iconic limestone rocks visible in the distance) and consequently never feels crowded, even in peak season.
This deluxe resort offers a wide choice of great dining and drinking options, as well as recreational facilities such as 2 swimming pools, tennis courts, Thai cookery lessons, and an onsite PADI dive centre (November to April). Elephant trekking excursions are also available.
Rooms
There are 2 standard room types: Deluxe Room and Bayfront Deluxe Room; 2 types of Suite – with open-air shower in a private garden: Pavilion Suite 1 bedroom and Pavilion Suite 2 bedrooms; Villas (beach and hillside with 1, 2 or 3 bedrooms). All Villas have their own infinity-edged swimming pool, (except 1 bedroom beach villas, which share a 55 square metre pool with 3 other units). The Pool Villas are located on the hillside, overlooking the resort and benefit from their own facilities such as check-in and separate restaurant and main pool.
Each room is well equipped with air-conditioning, Satellite TV & DVD/CD players, IDD Telephone, LAN cable with free internet access, mini bar, large bathroom, bathtub & separate shower, bathrobes & slippers, tea/coffee making facilities, fridge, beach towels and a balcony or terrace.
Spa
The Spa is an amazingly tranquil oasis, built within the jungle habitat with a small
waterfall and stream running through its middle. There are 7 treatment rooms and the choice of treatments here includes several rejuvenating packages. Yoga takes place 6 days a week. You cannot help but relax here and the range and quality of treatments is excellent.
If you are looking for a hotel that epitomises true beachfront luxury, the Pimalai will not disappoint. For those looking for that bit of extra luxury we highly recommend the hillside pool villas…!
