When Bri of DesignLoveFest posted about her Thailand trip, I eagerly read through her posts and comments time and time again. The major takeaway I had from doing this was that we need to visit Koh Lanta. Many explain the island to be what Ko Samui was 20 years ago...before it became covered with hotels, American chains {McDonalds!!}, and tourists galore. We were looking for something quiet, tropical, and peaceful with just the right amount of seclusion. After doing some research we decided that the Pimalai Resort & Spa fit the bill to perfection. It is on what many say is the most beautiful beach in Koh Lanta. It is set in 100 acres of lush tropical gardens and while it has four different restaurants on the property it also is within walking distance of several beach bars & restaurants to allow us easy access to cheap and authentic Thai food.
On days we want to be active, the hotel has it's own Dive Shop on property if we want to visit some of neighboring Koh Rok's famous dive sites. It offers complimentary sail boats and kayaks. We can rent a car or hire a driver through the hotel and spend the day exploring the island of Koh Lanta. We can go on a sunset cruise with canapés and wine. Or, if we want to do nothing we can relax on the golden beach or in one of the hotel's infinity pools. The beautiful spa is personally high on my list, and I definitely think we are going to take a cooking class. All in all it looks like five days in heaven and I can't wait to visit!
