Blue Bay Resort

The rooms at Blue Bay Resort measure between 33 and 36 m², and the choice runs from twin rooms with two single beds to king rooms and suites with a sofa bed. Some rooms sleep up to five guests.

Several rooms have a balcony or terrace, and some have pool access or a pool view. Toiletries and a mini bar are provided in several rooms, and the bathrooms are private.

Parking is available on site, with valet parking offered as well, and internet access is available in the public areas of the hotel. Breakfast is served as a buffet with Western and Asian dishes and is included in the rate.

Children are welcome, and check-in runs from 14:00 to 23:59 with check-out by 12:00, so plan your arrival within those hours.

Koh Yao Yai is a quiet, largely rural island in Phang Nga Bay, reached by boat rather than by bridge, which keeps the pace slow and the roads calm. Blue Bay Resort sits in the Phunai area of the island, with the sea and the island's village communities around it. It is a setting for travellers who want a beach stay at a slower rhythm than the busier beaches of Phuket such as Patong, which lies 31.3 km away across the water.

Loh Pared Beach is the closest beach, about 150 m from the hotel, and the village of Ban Ta Reua is 1.7 km away. Laem Nok Beach lies 4.7 km off, another beach to visit from the hotel. The island is quiet enough that a day can move at its own pace, from Loh Pared Beach to the village of Ban Ta Reua and back, with the sea in view for most of it.

Phuket International Airport is 32.6 km from the hotel, and the last part of the journey to Koh Yao Yai is by boat, so allow time for the crossing. In the rainy months, rough seas can disrupt boat trips, so it helps to keep a little flexibility in your travel plan.
