Pimalai Resort & Spa, Koh Lanta

Pimalai is ancient Sanskrit for ‘little patch of heaven’. Wandering along the fine white sand beach, it is not difficult to see how the resort gained its name.

Whether you’re walking along the beach, feeling the warm sand beneath your toes, or trekking through the 100 acres of tropical forest, surrounded by the buzzing of cicadas and the calling of exotic birds, you’ll agree that Pimalai is aptly named. The resort is also off the beaten track; it takes the resort’s speedboat an hour to reach the island from busy Krabi, but it’s a journey worth making. Especially as it takes you skimming past some of Thailand’s most beautiful small islands.

You’ll also find, if you’re visiting as part of a luxury, tailor-made holiday to Thailand that, for a beach vacation, Pimalai holds some pleasant surprises. Like the chance to go elephant trekking, or exploring a forest full of tree squirrels, monkeys and exotic birds – including eagles.
