Pimalai Resort & Spa
It’s not Robinson Crusoe, but it’s definitely not the big city either. Here the designers had the sense to stay out of the way, and let the gardens, the woods, and the beach take center stage. No bold design statements, just a warm, contemporary and identifiably Thai style, with full-length windows and wraparound terraces or balconies on all 121 rooms, suites and villas.
You can score a private pool if you feel like splashing out on a villa, or keep it simple with a standard room — even the latter affords plenty of space, close proximity to the beach, and it’s no great hardship sharing the hotel’s central infinity pool. Spa treatments and snorkeling or diving expeditions are an option, as always, and the restaurants offer not just fresh seafood-based Thai cuisine but cookery classes as well.
How to get there:
Pimalai Resort & Spa is approximately a 50 minute drive from Krabi Airport, 3 hours from Phuket Airport and 1 1/2 hours from Trang Airport. In each case this takes you to Baan Huahin pier where, adjacent to the public pier, the resort maintains a private jetty and convenience station. Travel time from Baan Huahin to the resort depends on the season. During the high season from November to April, the boat trip will take approximately 1 hour while traveling during the green season, from May to October, maybe take a bit longer.

Stunning location, style, design and great for relaxation and unplugging.
We were there as friends for only a couple days, and we seriously regretted going for such a short amount of time. The resort is pure luxury. We arrived by boat from the hotel's own pier and were lucky enough to be the only guests on that transfer. Arriving privately, we felt like we were being wisked away to a private island, where we could totally and completely decompress. The resort itself is actually huge, split between the beachfront rooms and the hilltop villas. We were amazed by the size. But it made it so it felt like you were never amongst too many other guests. With two infinity pools to choose from, a beach club, or your own villa plunge pools, you could have a different experience every day. They have a large amount of restaurants and bars to choose from depending on your mood and budget, as well as in-room dining and in-villa chefs available. We can attest that the in-room dining was sublime if you need a little privacy. ;-) We also took advantage of the hotel's excursion offerings and went out on the hotel's own boat to a nearby island to snorkel and sunbathe. The team put together a large and tasty bbq lunch on the beach which we thoroughly enjoyed. Book your trip to this place today!
it is an oasis... perfect for couples. quiet and beautiful.
