Location & what to see
Koh Yao Yai is a quiet island in Phang Nga Bay, with small villages, bays and beaches along its shores. The resort is reached only by boat, so the island feels apart from the busy beaches of Phuket. The resort's own facilities, including an indoor and an outdoor pool, a spa and a library, mean there is plenty to do without leaving the grounds.
Loh Pared Beach is the closest beach, 450 m from the resort. The villages of Ban Ta Reua and Ao Tha Kae lie about 2.1 km and 2.9 km away, and Laem Nok Beach and Lo Jak Beach are 5.1 km and 5.4 km away. The island's beaches and villages are the nearest places to explore from the resort.
A day can combine a swim at the private beach with snorkelling, canoeing or one of the tours the resort offers, and an afternoon in one of the island's villages gives a glimpse of daily life away from the resort. Those who want a slower day can stay on the grounds, where the garden and the library are close at hand, and the spa, the sauna and the hot tub make a quiet end to the day.
What guests say
Travellers rate room comfort (9.5) and cleanliness (9.2) most highly, and the service and location also score very well.
