A serene island sanctuary- Pimalai Resort and Spa is set in 100 acres of tropical forest with almost one kilometre of private pristine shore. It is totally peaceful- tucked away on Koh Lanta with wonderful food- a great spa and a wealth of water-based activities to enjoy. This is a watery playground- perfect for diving and snorkelling with reefs teeming with sea life. Or it could be a sedate hideaway for simply lazing in the sunshine surrounded by immeasurable beauty. The accommodation reflects Thai design with unfussy interiors and superb comfort with options that include your own pool- garden and private balcony. Dine on excellent food in inspirational locations overlooking the beach and sea. The infinity-edge pool is sublime and a good base for socialising.
