Pimalai Resort & Spa is located on the southern tip of Koh Lanta, far from the north’s commercial buzz. Here the buzz comes from cicadas inhabiting dense tropical vegetation, where contemporary Thai-style rooms and villas nestle into the hillside. Rich orange, pink and lime green Thai fabrics complement dark teakwood flooring and rattan curtains, and throughout the property, pagodas and infinity pools conjure tranquility. At the base of the hills, a wide swath of white-sand beach leads to the Andaman Sea.

Return after 15 years to Pimalai. Resort is still as wonderful as remembered. Unbeatable set-up and scenery (all the pictures do not lie) and the friendliness of the staff is second to none. A special „thank you“ to Hus Mon who took great care of us in the beach restaurant Rak Talay. We will come back!

Pimalai Resort is a true paradise, made even more special by its incredible staff. A huge thank you to Nancy at Seven Seas/Rak Talay Restaurants for her exceptional service. She was warm, attentive, and always going above and beyond. The entire Seven Seas team was fantastic, making every meal a delight. The resort itself is breathtaking, with stunning beaches and luxurious surroundings. We had an unforgettable stay and can’t wait to return. Highly recommend Pimalai for an extraordinary, relaxing getaway!

This resort is spectacular. The gardens are breathtaking, the pools beautiful, ocean views room - wow! The staff are lovely and the breakfast food options something for everyone. If you are looking for time out and relaxation, this is your place as there is nothing much else to do around there! I would however like to point out that Pimalai need to absolutely lift their game on transfers. For a 5 star resort it is not acceptable to expect your guests to stand on the hand rail at the front of the boat to transfer to Koh Lanta & return. It is so dangerous and risky, you need to offer better here. I would say if you are older, the transfers from Speed boat to the Island and return may be something you need to reconsider, as they really require some dangerous steps without any easy transfer, and even worse when it’s raining.

This was our second stay in Pimalai in a row and again they delivered more than 100%. Must stay when on the island. One of the best resorts I have ever stayed in. Great stuff create great atmosphere. Everything was perfect and nothing to complain about.

Pimalai is breathtaking but it’s the people who make it unforgettable. Special thanks to Noi, whose kindness and genuine smile made our stay even warmer. The Seven Seas staff were equally wonderful, always attentive and friendly. We had breakfast there daily and occasional dinners, always a great experience. Meals and spa treatments are on the expensive side, and the restaurant could offer more Thai options. That said, the staff’s warmth and service truly elevate every moment and make it feel worth it. We leave with beautiful memories and a strong wish to return.

The Pimalai Resort and Spa, in Ko Lanta was a fabulous place to relax. Our One bedroom pool villa was exquisite. It overlooked the Adaman sea and was breathtaking. The accommodations are very spacious and can sleep two couples rather comfortably if anyone is looking to cut costs. The Thai staff was very friendly and helpful. The cuisine was up market and delicious! Great spa, beach, pools, water sports, land sports, and restaurants.
