This two-bedroom villa of grand proportions is in a U-shape facing the beach, palm trees, and the Andaman Sea. Bedroom suites are housed in southern Thai-style buildings either side of a courtyard where there is a double size garden sala forming the living and dining areas. Enter the courtyard to face the infinity edge of your 9m X 3m pool merging with the sea, where four adjustable wooden sun loungers with sunshades either side of the pool, are waiting for the first bout of skin bronzing. Pimalai resort staff are constantly waiting to pamper you with twice-daily visits for cleaning and night time preparation, or transport around the resort, which is just a phone call away. A fitness centre, spa, diving centre, tennis courts and five restaurants offer a complete service for your dream holiday in the sun.

LOCATION
Set on the west coast of Koh Lanta, arrival at the resort from the nearest airport, Krabi, takes just a couple of hours. A private speedboat will drop you at the resorts jetty during periods of calm weather, or to a more sheltered jetty if the seas threaten to be choppy, when a short minibus drive across the island brings you safely to the resort. With everything on hand including all the activities, you might not need to venture too far, although there are plenty of attractions available. The most popular sport is diving owing to the numerous dive sites around the island, but you may wish to head off elephant trekking, watch a Thai boxing match or simply explore the other ten beaches around Koh Lanta.
