Six Senses Yao Noi

Designed to harmonise with the natural surroundings, Six Senses Yao Nois setting on the picturesque island of Koh Yao Noi is hard to beat. This rustic chic retreat is a truly idyllic escape.

The 54 pool villas are perched on the cliffside, offering breathtaking views over Phang Nga Bay. Each villa has a dedicated 24-hour butler to attend to your every whim. As the name would suggest, the Ocean Panorama Pool Villas boast 180 degree panoramic views. If you would prefer to be closer to the beach we would suggest a Beachfront Pool Villa or Beachfront Pool Villa Suite.

Feast on modern Italian food, surrounded by natural vegetation in the Dining Room or hideaway in one of the more intimate adjacent dining pavilions. The relaxed beachside Living Room and Terrace serves a sumptuous buffet breakfast, worth getting up for, and a choice of global cuisine throughout the rest of the day. Your villa butler will happily arrange a private picnic, champagne breakfast or candlelit BBQ for you.

Theres plenty of exploring to be done: hop on a mountain bike or jump in a tuk tuk and discover the island of Yao Noi; kayak around the towering limestone islands or experience a birds eye view from a helicopter. Rock climbing and Thai Boxing can be arranged for the more sporty and adventurous. If this is all a bit too active then start your day with a sunrise yoga session; learn how to cook Thai dishes or indulge in a signature spa journey at the Six Senses Spa.
