Pimalai Resort & Spa dapples and specks its way up Koh Lanta’s dense viridian hillside. Its luxury villas, suites and spa peek out from a forest of figs and palms that sits on the island’s southern coast, overlooking the quiet, kinetic Kantiang Bay. Designed to affect the lush scenery as little as possible, the resort’s construction avoided felling trees, it prioritises natural water reservoirs and does its best to blend into the island’s environment.
