Pimalai Resort And Spa

From Krabi Town or the airport you can ride in style: first by luxury van, then a picturesque private boat ride directly to the resort in high season (a short 4*4 ride to another pier in low season). Getting there is an adventure in itself that pays dividends when you check in to your own luxury suite at Pimalai Resort. A fine marriage of comfort and proximity to nature, large, freestanding villas are partly walled compounds with rooms done in hardwoods and luxurious bathrooms with outdoor showers. Each room has a large veranda, some overlooking the sea or at least in earshot of the crashing surf of the picturesque beach below (a good swimming beach). High-end suites are spectacular. The resort rivals Krabi's famed Rayavadee, but Pimalai is on a more isolated stretch, a true luxury island to itself. Resort services like the spa, pool and fine dining, as well as a library and gym for those rainy days, makes Pimalai sufficiently self-contained. Design throughout, from the unique spa set in a small ravine with simple but luxurious thatched treatment salas and trickling waterfall to the many Thai pavilions as well as small touches, like hangings and carvings, reminds you where you are -- not heaven, but Thailand. They arrange great day trips and there's also a cooking school. Facilities: 3 restaurants; bar; pool; spa w/massage; Jacuzzi; watersports rentals; mountain bike rentals; dive center; library w/good book selection; tour desk; car-rental desk; limousine transfer; business center w/Internet; 24-hr. room service; same-day laundry service.
