5. Koyao Island Resort, Ko Yao Noi
This very unique resort offers «sea gypsy»-style villas, an homage to the traditional Thai bungalows, with moving walls that can be opened at night to let the sea breeze and the light of the moon in. The bungalows are built using palm leaves on the roofs, eco-friendly materials, and details like outdoor showers and sitting areas that look over Phang Nga Bay.
For guests with a bigger sense of adventure, the resort also offers panorama tented pool villas, a unique safari-style luxury tent with special insulation, an air-conditioning system and their own private pool.
Aside from an infinity pool and lounge chairs on the quiet white sand, guests can also enjoy a spa, a library with both reading material and board games, an on-site restaurant offering international cuisine, and packed lunches for those leaving the resort for an adventure. The hotel’s activity center can help you organize everything from climbing trips to kayaking tours to the neighboring islands.
