About the Hotel

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.

Reviews for Pimalai Resort & Spa

Don't worry the frogs and this other things stop making noises around 11 some nights they don't make a sound

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 17 hours ago

Loved it even when it rained (cos we went monsune season idk any spelling) everyone was so nice but what was really annoying is that not many tourists had any respect for any of the staff. Lots of nearby restaurants that are wayyy cheaper than the hotels restaurants so I advise you eat out every night

Absolutely Beautiful Pimalai

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 week ago

The resort is built into the hillside, in an underdeveloped part of Thailand and surrounded by lush tropical rainforest - so if you don't like - 1 - Monkeys 2 - Walking up/down hills (though there is a buggy service) 3 - Monitor lizards on your lawn 4 - Other creepy crawlies 5- Not perfect local infrastructure 6 - Peace and quiet 7- Needing to learn a little Thai This resort is not for you! - it's Thailand of 15/20 years ago (i'm reliably informed) - not anything like Phuket. If you do, then you're in for a real treat. The resort is showing a little wear and tear in places, but the sheer beauty of the surrounding and peaceful natural surrounding of the rainforest more than makes up for that and then some. Coupled with the great service, the attention to detail and genuine warmth, welcome from the the start, from all, made our stay very memorable. The only grips I had were - 1. the cost of trips from the hotel as well as food and drink - trips can booked in the 'village' nearby and the local restaurants on the whole are very good and less than a 1/6th in cost. 2. and whilst not the hotels fault in any way - i suggested in my direct feedback that the hotel could put out/ supply litter bags - I love the ocean and it was sad for me personally to see the plastic washed up on the beach after a storm (not huge amounts by the way), but I resorted to picking litter up in the mornings as we had a beachside villa. Hopefully the management will provide bags these in future.....when we will return! ps try hiring a car - Koh Lanta has so much to offer and the scenery is very 'big' Lastly - Walks in the rainforest are also definitely worth doing - some small snakes about and spiders - note there aren't Black mambas in Thailand as a previous review mentioned - they're in Africa!

The best resort on Koh Lanta!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 weeks ago

Pimalai is a beautiful and peaceful resort with fantastic scenery on Koh Lanta. The breakfast buffet is excellent. The top 2 restaurants of Koh Lanta are in the Pimalai resort and are truly wonderful. Great food, excellent wine list, and many themed dinners during the week. The hotel staff is great and made sure we, and especially our kids, felt very welcome. We stayed in one of the double room beach villas with a private pool. The location is perfect and our kids enjoyed all the animals that came to visit. That's one of the best things about Thailand: the natural beauty and wildlife (all perfectly safe). The scenery is absolutely stunning, doing an aperitivo at the bar next to Seven Seas restaurant, and seeing the sunset is one of a kind.

Still Wonderful!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 4 weeks ago

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!

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.
