Our opinion
The luxurious Six Senses Yao Noi enjoys a stunning island setting in majestic Phang Nga Bay.
Hotel description
Koh Yao Noi, a picturesque island in Thailand’s famously beautiful Phang Nga Bay, is the glorious setting for the Six Senses Yao Noi. Nestled in 24 acres of lush vegetation and tropical gardens, it is an exclusive, secluded paradise. From an elevated hillside position, the resort provides dramatic views of a serene coastline punctuated with jagged limestone outcrops, and easy access to its own golden beach. The 54 generously proportioned private Pool Villas and the Retreat represent uncompromised luxury and attention to detail. Each villa has its own infinity-edged pool with sundeck and is attended by a personal butler. The ultra luxurious Hilltop Reserve at Six Senses Yao Noi has been transformed into a stunning pool and restaurant complex. The Reserve, a private haven for royalty and high society, will be opened to all guests for cocktails, dining and simply lounging by the pool with the most exceptional panoramic views. Dining options abound with several restaurants and bars and a well-stocked wine cellar. The Dining Room offers fine dining with Italian cuisine and features a glass floor with a creek meandering beneath. The Living Room presents a marriage of world cuisine, with an emphasis on Thai, plus tandoori and pizza ovens, and an open grill, while the Chef’s Table offers a very personal dining experience for just eight guests. Learn the secrets of authentic Thai cuisine by joining the Thai Cooking School in the vegetable garden. If you are looking for some activity, try some rock climbing or embark on a mountain bike tour. For relaxation, the Six Senses Spa is located in a traditional Thai long house and offers therapeutic menus to rejuvenate and revitalise the senses.
