Hotel information
Embrace secluded paradise at Pimalai Resort & Spa, where lush forests and boundless Andaman waters ignite a renewed love for the natural world. Located on one of Thailand’s best beaches, Kantiang Bay, this five-star hotel creates an eco-conscious space for couples and families to recharge, relax and relish the natural scenery.
The hotel’s 900m of beachfront and 100 acres of rich greenery showcase banyan trees, coconut palms, jasmine bushes and other colourful bursts of plant life that are truly unique to the region. With dolphins gliding the waves on the Andaman and eagles circling the towering yang trees, it’s a nature-lovers paradise.
With just 121 stylish rooms, spacious suites and spectacular villas with private pools, seclusion is a promise here. Spend your sunlit days strolling through the greenery or relaxing on the powdery beach. If you’re keen to explore the sea, dive into the hotel’s range of non-motorised watersports, including paddle-boarding and kayaking. Mealtimes also maintain this profound sense of place, immersing you in local flavours with sea-to-table specials at Seven Seas and celebrated Thai flavours at Rak Talay.
Back on land, families can bond over games of tennis, badminton or basketball, and get in touch with the local culture in the Muay Thai ring. Little guests will love the jam-packed schedule of creative activities at the Kids’ Corner. For some alone time, adults can head to the premium Pimalai Spa in the heart of the forest. This multi-award-winning wellness centre specialises in traditional Thai therapies, including soothing massages that promote healing. Take a yoga class in this soul-soothing location, or relax in the resort’s two shimmering, infinity-edged pools.
