From Dreams to Careers: A New Chapter with Pimali & Paresa
Paresa Phuket Partners with Pimali Foundation to Empower Thai Youth Through Sustainable Hospitality
At Secret Retreats, we believe that true luxury is not only about beautiful destinations and impeccable service—it’s also about creating a positive and lasting impact on the people and communities we touch. That’s why we are thrilled to share the news of a meaningful new partnership between Paresa Resort Phuket and the Pimali Foundation—a collaboration rooted in a shared commitment to education, empowerment, and sustainability.
A Shared Vision for Responsible Hospitality
Perched on the cliffs of Phuket’s Kamala Bay, Paresa is more than a luxury resort—it is a sanctuary for those who seek serenity, excellence, and purpose in their travels. By partnering with the Pimali Foundation, Paresa takes its mission a step further, joining hands with an organization dedicated to equipping underprivileged Thai youth with the skills, confidence, and experience needed to build successful careers in hospitality.
Founded on the belief that education is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty, Pimali Foundation offers vocational training in real hospitality environments, preparing young people from disadvantaged backgrounds for employment in some of Thailand’s finest hotels and resorts.
Empowering the Next Generation
Through this partnership, Paresa will provide mentorship opportunities, hands-on learning, and real-world exposure to high-end hospitality operations. This collaboration helps bridge the gap between classroom education and the skills needed on the ground—giving students the chance to learn from the best and build a future for themselves in one of Thailand’s most vibrant industries.
It’s more than training—it’s transformation. Together, Paresa and Pimali are creating opportunities that uplift individuals, strengthen communities, and reinforce the long-term sustainability of Thai tourism.
Responsible Luxury in Action
This partnership beautifully embodies the spirit of responsible luxury that defines Secret Retreats. It is proof that travel can be more than a personal escape—it can be a force for good. When properties like Paresa open their doors not only to guests but also to the next generation of hospitality professionals, they help shape a future where tourism uplifts everyone it touches.
We are deeply grateful to the team at Paresa Resort for embracing this vision, and to Pimali for continuing to inspire us with their dedication and impact. Together, they are setting a powerful example of how hospitality can be a bridge to opportunity.
Travel with Purpose
When you stay at Paresa, you’re not just indulging in an unforgettable retreat—you’re supporting a wider mission of education, inclusion, and transformation. It’s a journey where every experience becomes more meaningful.
