Romantic Retreat

We may still be in the grey when it comes to travelling, but you can always feed your wanderlust by planning ahead. Earlier this year, ANTHIA CHNG got hitched and had a blissful honeymoon at the Pimalai Resort & Spa in Krabi, Thailand. It’s one to bookmark if you’re looking for a great getaway for two!

Getting there

After arriving at Krabi Airport – 90 minutes by plane from Changi – we were led by our chauffeur to a minivan. From there, it was a comfortable one-hour drive to a private jetty, followed by a 45-minute ride on a private speedboat. The last boat leaves the Pimalai private jetty for the resort at 5pm – if the weather or sea conditions are unfavourable, visitors use the public ferry, which can take an extra 15 minutes. All stays at the resort include complimentary round-trip transfers from Krabi Airport.

Our transfers were seamless, thanks to the warm and efficient service of the Pimalai team. Right from the moment we landed, we were well taken care of – there was no rushing or worrying involved, which is key to a relaxing time!

Winning location

Staying at Pimalai gives you the best of both worlds: the soft, sandy beaches and the lush settings of the hills. The beachside area of the resort sits on a quiet stretch along pristine Koh Lanta, while the hillside estate overlooks the Andaman Sea.
