About
Experience the high-life in Thailand from the boutique surroundings of Paradise Koh Yao. Nestled on Koh Yao Noi Island between the popular tourist destinations of Phuket and Krabi. Koh Yao Noi is a secluded, and largely untouched, slice of paradise in the Andaman Sea. Start your visit in the best possible way with an A-List worthy speedboat transfer from glamorous Yacht Haven Marina in Phuket. The superstar treatment doesn’t end when you reach the resort. Enjoy cinematic views of iconic Phang Nga Bay, made famous first for its appearance on the 1974 James Bond film “The Man With The Golden Gun” and then on Leonardo Di Caprio’s picture “The Beach”. If you can tear yourself away from the incredible views you may want to try a pamper session on the beach at the serene spa, or take a crack at one of the many activities. Due to its location surrounded by tropical national reserves on one side and coral reefs the other, Paradise Koh Yao promises a plethora of active enterprises from diving to hill walking and everything in-between. After a long day of exploring or relaxing on the soft sand beach, you’ll be ready for some delicious food. Delights cooked up by the talented culinary teams at the Seafood Terrace and Al Fresco restaurants will dazzle your palate. Before you retire to your comfortable, island chic, suite or villa for the evening, why not toast another day in paradise with a sunset cocktail at Sundowners Bar.
- Stay on a secluded island in the Andaman Sea surrounded by national reserves and coral reefs
- Enjoy exquisite views out over iconic Phang Nga Bay
- Take some time to yourself and luxuriate in the spa with a range of traditional Thai therapies
