Six Senses Yao Noi
This Six Senses property is spread over almost 24 acres of Yao Noi Island amidst the dramatic limestone pinnacles of Thailand’s stunning Phang Nga Bay. All villas have infinity pools with sundecks, with sea-view villas overlooking the bay and mountain-view villas nestled in the island’s tropical forests. As with all Six Senses properties, the spa is world-class, offering a range wellness treatments and high-end natural products. The Dining Room restaurant offers fine-dining with an emphasis on Italian cuisine, as well as the special Chef’s Table private dining experience (maximum eight guests). The Living Room, meanwhile, presents a range of international dishes, specializing in Thai and including tandoori ovens for Indian fare. Six Senses Koh Yao Noi is situated half way between Phuket and Krabi and accessible from either airport. From Phuket, it is a 20-minute drive followed by a 45-minute speedboat ride; from Krabi, it is a 45-minute drive followed by a 20-minute speedboat ride.
Why We Love This Hotel
Location: This stunning resort sits in an ideal part of Thailand's Andaman sea, surrounded by towering limestone pinnacles seemingly straight out of a pirate movie.
History: Upon its opening less than a decade ago, the Six Senses brand took extreme care not to destroy the beautiful nature on the grounds upon which they were building, and actually built the resort around the nature, so that the resort thrives amongst the forest.
Service: Electric buggies transport guests to and fro, guests are given a welcome glass of champagne at check-in, and each villa has its own personal butler.
