Pimalai Resort and Spa

There are so many good things to say about Pimalai, I don't even know where to begin. One of my favourite aspects of it was how much mature jungle it's surrounded by, and how many beautiful mature trees there are throughout the grounds. I had so many happy hours bird watching without having to go very far away. Even saw a Colugo! Both the pools are absolutely spectacular and the view from the upper pool is breathtaking. The staff are all incredibly good at their jobs and super friendly. We came in low season and really appreciated having so much space and privacy in our beautiful hillside villa with pool. Even in the height of rainy season the weather wasn't too bad at all with plenty of sunny days. We'll be back!

"Tropical Paradise" The property is exceptionally well maintained, with thoughtful landscaping and an exotic atmosphere. The staff is attentive and friendly with service often exceeding expectations. The room is spacious, clean with beautiful sea as well as garden view. Two swimming pools are peaceful with stunning ocean view. Resort restaurants offer special events daily like Hot Pot dinner, Steak & Wine Night etc. The spa is super nice as well with their exotic atmosphere and skilled therapists. Pimalai Resort and Spa is one of the best places to stay in Thailand. I strongly recommend this tropical paradise to couple, family as well as honeymooner. You won't be disappointed.

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.

Our stay at the Pimalai was nothing short of perfect. Everything—from the amenities, rooms, and resort facilities to the outstanding service—was truly exceptional. A special call-out goes to the incredible staff. The level of attention to detail across the board is remarkable and leaves a lasting impression. For example: after a lounge chair is used, the staff immediately clean it, replace the cover, and set out a fresh towel. When you settle into a chair, they bring cold glasses of water without being asked. If you’re walking back from the beach with equipment, someone is already on the way to meet you halfway so you don’t have to carry it all the way back. On my first day, I asked if some of my pump parts could be sterilized, and not only did the staff handle it immediately—they also installed a sterilizer in my room for the rest of the stay. These thoughtful touches made all the difference. We stayed in a beachfront room (room 404), and it was absolutely perfect. The views were stunning, and it was just a short walk to the pool, restaurants, beach, and buggy pick-up point. The resort has two pools: while the beachfront one is beautiful, the hillside pool offers even more breathtaking views. The beach itself is quiet, clean, and uncrowded—calm enough for swims and perfect for relaxing. Overall, Pimalai is a gem. The combination of its natural beauty, luxurious accommodations, and flawless service makes it a place I would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone looking for a truly special getaway.

Greetings Brice,||I wanted to reach out to you and let you know what a wonderful time we had visiting Pimalai Resort. After returning from a previous visit we hoped we would recapture the wonder of Pimalai we experienced the first time. We exceedingly were overwhelmed with what we found!

Nourishment for the guests through the natural environment and mindfulness.||We thank you for this time we will always remember.||Respectively||Msc - USA

It’s a beautiful location—the grounds are stunning, the room was great, and the pools have incredible views. Unfortunately there are children everywhere. Too many visiting parents are indifferent to parenting. Weirdly no shade to be found at either pool, despite both being quite large. Guests were unfortunately much less kind to staff compared to other resorts. The staff was much less skilled with service/language than expected. The food was fine and the cocktails are stuck in the early 2000s. I’d gladly stay at an adult-only resort with less amenities.

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!

Only hotel we have ever returned and stayed twice. ||This hotel is amazing and easily the most enjoyable, luxurious hotel we have ever stayed in, so much so we returned.||The food and beverages are superb we ate in all the restaurants. ||The room we had was fabulous a view of the sea. ||For the first time ever I used hotel spa facilities. We do a lot of walking and my poor feet get hammered so I booked in for a pedicure (to be honest I was a little embarrassed the state my feet were in) the therapist didn’t even flicker, it was an hour that I would, with no hesitation book to go back. ||As for the hotel in general, no hesitation in recommending a wonderful peaceful oasis with the almost amazing food.
