Peace, Serenity, Solitude...
These are the words that come to mind for Pimalai. Add to that luxury, elegance, natural surroundings and genuine friendly service. Be it for a honeymoon, a diving experience, a break from it all or even for a business meeting in Krabi then Pimalai, nestled in a lush tropical forest, is the Andaman destination to set your sights on. This exclusive beach resort combines all the right ingredients-subtle five star comforts, natural beauty and lots of space. Located well distant from crowded beaches and resorts, the only sound is that of the waves sliding in and out and slowly breaking onto the sandy shore.

Built within the rainforest as it meets the silver ocean strand, you would hardly know Pimalai was there. The luxury beach resort occupies 100 acres of tropical vegetation with direct access to a 900 meters stretch of pristine sandy beach and offers 121 accommodation units - Deluxe, Bayfront Deluxe, Pavilion Suite, Beach Villa and Pool Villa - all very elegantly appointed.

From the mainland, it takes about 1 hour by the resort boat to reach Lanta and Pimalai but it is worth bearing this "hard strip" in order to find such a unique lost paradise in tourist Thailand. Visit once and you will return again and again.

:: Transfer to or from resort ::
We highly recommend you to book a flight that lands at Krabi airport in the morning or early afternoon. Transportation from Krabi airport is a journey of approximately 2 hours - or less - via mini van & speedboat operated by the resort, for its guests exclusively.

The complimentary transfers from Krabi airport - or jetty - (& return) are arranged to coincide with fixed resort boat schedule (please see below).
We try to operate the transfer boats as near as possible to the following schedule. If there is a delay it is most likely due to interference by mother nature. We ask for your patience and assure you it is our intention to transfer you both to and from the resort safely and with minimum delay.



During daytime, and on rare occasions, if it is determined that there are adverse weather or sea conditions we may have to cancel the boat trip. If this occurs we will then use the two public ferries and additional ground transportation to get you to the resort; the transfer may then take 30 minutes longer.

Most unfortunately & essentially for safety reasons we are not able to operate the resort boat transportation during darkness - mainly from 6.00 pm to 6.00 am. For a late arrival, you should know that we can always get you to the resort using public ferries. These ferries normally stop regular service at 10.00 pm. However, we can rent the ferries for our exclusive use after the 10.00 pm deadline.

Departing from the resort: we use the same route as on arrival, though we allocate extra travelling time to ensure that you are well on time to catch your scheduled flight.

*** Remark on Complimentary Transportation available all year around from KRABI AIRPORT TO PIMALAI RESORT & SPA ONLY ACCORDING TO FIXED TIME SCHEDULE also clients must inform their flight details to our reservation department at least 24 hour prior arrival in order to arrange transfer service, if clients travel from other destination such Trang Airport or Phuket airport additional charge will apply as indicated on the contract rates ***
