Koh Yao Yai Village Koh Yao Yai, Thailand

A boutique hideaway on an unspoilt, slumbering Thai island with a slew of perks including breakfast, spa and dining discounts, and more

Koh Yao Yai Village’s Deluxe villas truly bring the outdoors in - most apparent in the completely open sala furnished with island-worn, dark wood furniture. The softly appointed bedrooms are indoors and feature a double bed draped in mosquito nets, while the outdoor rain shower completes the castaway-chic experience.

Kao Spa’s traditional thatched-roof villa is set overlooking the island’s verdant rice fields. In line with the rustic and nature-inspired setting, the spa utilises a medley of natural ingredients for treatments that include lemongrass, aloe vera and fresh coconut. Bespoke treatments and couple packages are also available.

With so much to explore on the island, it’s essential to venture beyond the resort. Snorkelling, kayaking, island-hopping and inland tours can also be arranged by the resort. For something out of the ordinary, join a canoe tour that will take you through Phang Nga Bay's mangroves, a floating village and 'James Bond Island'.
