Domestic tourism is becoming active again as Thais and expatriates feel safe to travel to different regions within the country once again. While beautiful destinations such as Phuket or Krabi serve as main hubs for domestic travellers, Koh Lanta remains a hidden destination with as much allure but much less hype, and the same could describe Pimalai Resort and Spa on Koh Lanta. Located on 100 acres of unspoiled, lush jungle cascading down to a 900 metre-long beach, Pimalai Resort and Spa is a tranquil hideaway in the south where you can reconnect with nature—luxuriously, of course.Â
Why head to Pimalai and Koh Lanta now? The resort is offering a special three-night experience package starting at just 16,445 baht for two, to those living in Thailand. Valid until April 30, 2021, the bundle includes daily breakfast, arrival and return airport transfers, a one-hour spa treatment per person, one dinner at Surf & Turf and one Thai set dinner. For your special dwelling, choose the Deluxe Room, Pavilion Suite or Hillside Villa. Beyond beautiful rooms with breathtaking scenery and private pools, you will find yourself occupied with all the activities the retreat has to offer.

Foodies will find themselves in heaven at Pimalai, dining with a glass of chardonnay on the beach as the golden hour arrives. Seafood is as fresh as it can possibly get, and the Thai food here is simply exceptional. For those who love a good cocktail by the sands, the beachside bar with professional mixologists awaits.Â

Yoga is offered at the resort
For adrenaline junkies, set sail to explore the spectacular Andaman Sea with island cruises and diving excursions where you might even see sharks! If you’re looking for something less adventurous but just as fun, how about invigorating yourself with some yoga, fitness or muay Thai. Pimalai’s award-winning spa offers a melange of traditional and contemporary treatments that promise to bring back the wellness of both body and soul.
When it comes to nature, Pimalai is hard to beat. The resort is a perfect blend of civilisation and nature. Occasionally, you find animals like the monitor lizards or monkeys walking about, minding their own business. At Pimalai, you can also breathe freely without worrying about pollution. As you take a stroll back to your villa, the fresh smell of wildflowers and wet soil are therapeutic in their own right. Â

As for safety concerns, Pimalai is serious with its ‘Pimalai Care’ programme. Installing three disinfection tunnels and implementing ozone sanitisation in every room as well as 24-hour vacancy periods between bookings, you can be sure of your and your loved ones’ safety. Also, thanks to the spacious and isolated layout of the resort, enjoy the safety and privacy of the luxurious villas. Â
