Pimalai Resort & Spa, the iconic five-star retreat on Koh Lanta, has always strived to be one of
the finest resorts in the world. Now, this blissful beachfront property can officially take its place
at the top table of global hospitality, having achieved four 2020 Tripadvisor Travelers’ Choice
Best of the Best Awards®.
These prestigious accolades are the highest honours offered by Tripadvisor, the world’s largest
online travel review site. They represent the pinnacle of global travel – the top 1% of places to
visit, stay and dine around the world, based on the ratings and reviews of a global community of
travellers.
In the 2020 Tripadvisor Travelers’ Choice Best of the Best Awards (previously known as
Travelers’ Choice), Pimalai came second in the “Top 25 Luxury Hotels – Thailand” category,
and achieved an impressive sixth place in the “Top 25 Hotels – Thailand” category. The resort
also came tenth in two other categories: “Top 25 Hotels for Service – Thailand” and “Top 25
Hotels for Romance – Thailand”.
These honours reflect the sheer quality of services, facilities and experiences that awaits guests at
Pimalai, which is popular with A-list celebrities, top executives and honeymooners looking for
privacy, and also has outstanding facilities for families. Nestled in 100 acres of tropical jungle,
cascading gently down to a 900-metre stretch of pure white sand at Kantiang Bay, Pimalai
features a collection of spacious rooms, standalone suites and pool villas, world-class restaurants,
a soothing spa, sports centre, tennis court, water sports and a wealth of immersive activities,
island tours and offshore excursions.
