Floating serenely between Phuket and Krabi in the heart of Phang Nga Bay, these two island gems are a world away from Thailand’s tourist hotspots. With their slow rhythms, coastal charm and quiet sophistication, they’re a perfect retreat for travellers in search of some luxury escapism.
Enjoy magnificent maritime views from almost every angle at these refreshingly tranquil castaway islands in Phang Nga Bay.
Exploring Koh Yao Noi is a real pleasure, either via the barely-trafficked round-island road that runs through tiny villages or via the various trails that crisscross the forested interior.
Kayaking among the mangroves is an absolute must, especially at the full moon when you may be lucky enough to spot bioluminescent plankton in the moonlight.
Strike a secret agent pose at James Bond Island, the iconic karst rock stack in Phang Nga Bay that served as Scaramanga’s hideout in The Man With The Golden Gun.
Discover the allure of Laem Had Beach, where the mesmerising Koh Yao Yai sandbank sets the stage for thrilling adventures, from kayaking to diving.
Positioned equidistant from Phuket and Krabi, yet blissfully untouched by mass tourism, Koh Yao Noi and Koh Yao Yai feel like well-kept secrets. Here, luxury means tranquility: beachfront villas hidden among palm groves, spa pavilions overlooking limestone karsts and farm-to-table dining infused with Thai hospitality.
Life moves gently, in step with the tides. Wooden stilt houses dot sleepy fishing villages, water buffalo wander through rubber plantations and mangroves fringe the coast in intricate green ribbons. Explore by bicycle or longtail boat, kayak through serene bays or simply unwind as the sun melts into the Andaman Sea.
On the island escape of Koh Yao Yai in picture-postcard Phang Nga Bay, Anantara Koh Yao Yai tempts with oversized suites and villas, impressive family facilities and opportunities for ocean exploration. Ideal for a long stay beach escape, or as part of a Thailand island-hopping itinerary, this is a truly memorable location with extraordinary views.
Combining natural elements with modern architecture, a beautiful island setting and excellent personal service, this hideaway is a treat for the senses. Situated halfway between Phuket and Krabi on the island of Yao Noi, the 24-acre Six Senses Yao Noi offers breathtaking views over Phang Nga Bay.
