Pimalai Resort & Spa, the natural five-star retreat on the tropical Thai island of Koh Lanta, is a dreamy destination that immerses couples in seclusion and serenity.
Nestled within 100 acres of lush jungle, cascading gently down to a 900-metre stretch of pure white sand at Kantiang Bay, far from the tourist crowds, this is a romantic retreat like no other.
Pimalai understands however, that no two relationships are the same. Many modern couples do not only want to gaze into each other’s eyes; they want to share authentic experiences, learn new skills and feel an adrenaline rush. Most importantly, they want to write a new chapter in their unique love story. Pimalai sets the stage for these personalised tales of adventure.
There can be few more romantic settings than the award-winning Pimalai Spa. Hidden within the forest, surrounded by rippling pools, century-old trees and fragrant flowers, visitors can unwind and enjoy world-class wellness therapies, including dedicated couples’ treatments. For the ultimate indulgence, “Pimalai’s Signature Package” blends a private herbal steam bath, jacuzzi, green tea body wrap, full-body massage, facial and healthy dining. Pimalai’s professional therapists also provide complimentary spa classes that allow guests to learn the ancient art of Thai wellness, including massage techniques – a wonderful new skill that can help relationships keep their spark alive long after the vacation ends.
The heady flavours and fragrances of Thai cuisine have been proven to stimulate the senses and enflame the emotions. Couples can learn this epicurean artform with a cooking class that lets them pick fresh herbs from the organic garden and create highly authentic Thai dishes, before being presented with a recipe guide and souvenir Pimalai apron to take home. And of course, guests who do want to gaze into each other’s eyes – while also savouring sensational cuisine and reflecting on their day of shared adventures – can arrange a private beachfront dinner at a candlelit table for two, as the waves lap gently on the shore.
A choice of heavenly Hillside Ocean View Villas, nestled in the jungle up to 80 meters above sea-level, or blissful Beachside Villas set on the soft sands and lapped by the sea, let travellers to unwind in space, style and seclusion with endless ocean views and private pools. Naturally, Pimalai can organise private land and sea private transfers to and from Krabi International Airport.
