THE PINK NOTEBOOK VERDICT

Pimalai Resort & Spa

Rates at Pimalai Resort & Spa include the journey itself: a roundtrip transfer from Krabi International Airport by car and then speedboat, about two hours door to door, timed for morning or early afternoon since the boat runs only until six in the evening. That single detail sets the resort apart from most of Ko Lanta, where hotels sit along the road; here guests step onto a private beach and garden grounds 11 kilometres from town, with Klong Nin, Klong Toab and Klong Khong beaches within walking distance for anyone wanting a change of scene. The 121 rooms, suites and villas range from 517-square-foot Deluxe rooms with mini-bars and private bathrooms to 1,722-square-foot Pavilion suites and villas up to 6,997 square feet with their own pools, some with sea views and kitchens. Days run between the outdoor pool, the private beach, a diving and snorkelling club, tennis, badminton, cycling, boating, a gym with yoga classes, and a library for anyone happy to sit still; free bicycle rental covers the rest of the grounds. Evenings settle into the restaurant, bar, cafe or snack bar, with a half-board option and spa, sauna and massage treatments for the quieter hours. Staff speak English and Italian, family rooms are available, and the property is part of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, though pets are not permitted. None of this suits anyone wanting nightlife within reach or a same-day arrival after evening flights; the transfer alone rules that out. What it does deliver is a stretch of island reachable only by water, and the quiet that comes with it. Reaching Pimalai Resort & Spa means a two-hour car-and-speedboat transfer from Krabi Airport, included in the rate and running only until 6pm. That buys 121 rooms and pool villas a private beach on Ko Lanta, plus diving, spa treatments and Small Luxury Hotels of the World standards.

What to Know Before You Go

Beachside Villas with Private Pools

The Beachside Villa Three Bedrooms With Private Pool spans roughly 650 square metres along the resort's 900-metre stretch of beachfront, accommodating up to nine guests across three king-bedded rooms. Designed for family buyouts or multi-generational stays, the villa includes its own private pool, offering a secluded alternative to the resort's shared beachfront and gardens.

Dining Across Pimalai's Restaurants and Bars

Pimalai's restaurants and bars span the resort's grounds, from a beachfront restaurant serving buffet-style meals to an on-site cafe for coffee and a bar for evening drinks. Guests can move between venues across the day, pairing casual snacks with more formal dining without leaving the property's tropical setting on Koh Lanta.

Extra info
Since October 2017, all owners of quadrocopters and other unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) are required to register their devices with the National Television and Radio Commission of Thailand (NBTC). In case of violation of the order, Thai law provides for a penalty of up to five years in prison and / or a fine of up to 100 thousand baht (about 3 thousand US dollars). Mandatory gala dinner fees may apply at Thailand hotels. Guests should contact the hotel directly for more information. Under the new immigration procedures, effective May 1, 2025, all foreign nationals entering Thailand by air, land or sea must complete the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) online form on the official website of the Bureau of Immigration of Thailand three days prior to arrival. For Christmas and New Year's Eve dinners, guests may be charged separately at the hotel. Rates include roundtrip transfers from Krabi International Airport to the resort. Guests are required to provide arrival and departure times at the time of booking. The property strongly recommends that guests arrange their arrival time at Krabi International Airport in the morning or early afternoon. Exclusive transfer to the resort by car and then by speedboat takes approximately 2 hours. Transfer services are available on arrival and departure days only. Speedboat availability and timeliness are subject to weather and sea conditions. In case of adverse weather conditions, guests will be transferred by public ferry and additional ground transportation. In this case, the journey time may be extended by 30 minutes. For safety reasons, speedboat transfers are not available between 06:00 PM and 06:00 AM. After 06:00 PM, guests may use public ferries. Public ferries usually operate until 10:00 PM. In case of late arrival, please contact the resort directly. When departing from the resort, guests will follow a similar route. Travel time is calculated with some extra time to ensure guests arrive at the airport on time. In addition, a paid minibus and speedboat transfer from the resort to and from Krabi Town on the mainland is available for guests. Please contact the resort directly for transfer costs.
