Koh Yao Yai is an island in Phang-nga province, reached by boat, and the atmosphere here is quieter than on the busy beach strips of Phuket. Life runs around small villages, the bays and the boats, and the pace is slower, with more time on the beach than nightlife. Visitors who come for Phuket's big attractions, such as Wat Chalong or the Big Buddha, are on the main island, not here.

Ao Pun Te village lies 500 m away, and Laem Had Beach is 1.5 km off, with the Laem Had viewpoint 3.1 km from the property. Chong Lard Pier, 3.3 km away, is one of the ferry terminals for boat connections, and Phuket International Airport is 32.7 km away on Phuket. Reaching the island from the airport means a road journey to the coast followed by a boat crossing.

A relaxed day can begin on the private beach at the property, then continue to Laem Had Beach for a walk along the shore and a stop at the Laem Had viewpoint for a view over the water. In the monsoon months, rough seas can affect boat crossings, so the journey from Phuket can be less smooth at that time of year.
