Pimalai, located on Koh Lanta and close to Lanta Marine National Park is the perfect luxury destination to set your sight on. This green season, go snorkeling and diving at Green Pimalai Set in harmony with nature. Pimalai Resort and Spa makes for the perfect serene and private getaway. Luxury, class, natural surroundings and indisputable friendly service add to its charm. Built where the rainforest meets the blue ocean, this boutique resort is spread over 100 acres of tropical vegetation with direct access to a pristine beach..
A number of small islands, part of the Lanta Marine National Park offer great snorkeling trips. Regular excursions are arranged throughout the week to Koh Rok, Koh Kradan, Koh Haa, and Koh Gnai where vast coral reefs with brightly coloured fish and sea life await you. Another must is a visit to the Emerald cave at Koh Muk, a 60 meter long tunnel that runs through a mountain and leads to a lagoon at the bottom of a sheer vertical light shaft within the mountain.
The Koh Haa Discovery & Sunset Cruise, a half day cruise to a cluster of five small picturesque islands which can be viewed directly from the resort, is a highly recommended activity. You can swim, snorkel and even spot one of Finding Nemo’s clown fish while there and later share your experience on board while enjoying a fresh beer or a glass of wine and delectable canapes. This cruise runs frequently during the period of November to April, but can also be arranged during the Green Season (the time of year during which Thailand receives most of its rainfall).
During the Green Season, Pimalai also offers a comprehensive PADI dive centre programme, using dive boats, and a great team of dive professionals to help you to relax and enjoy in comfortable and safe surroundings. Koh Haa, Koh Rok, Koh Kradan & Hin Daeng and Hin Muang are nowadays recognized as being some of the very best diving spots and Pimalai gives you the chance to experience nature’s best.
