As with all Six Senses Resorts in Thailand, the design is very natural, so luxury here doesn’t mean marble floors and gold taps. The luxury of Six Senses Yao Noi comes from the seclusion, the personal service, the fabulous setting and the design, which is in keeping with the surroundings.
Six Senses Yao Noi Resort offers naturally inspired eco-luxury in an idyllic location amongst the beautiful seascape of tall limestone islands on Koh Yao Noi.
Six Senses Yao Noi is reached by luxury speedboat from Phuket in a scenic 30-minute journey through some of the most magnificent scenery in Thailand.
Six Senses Yao Noi consists of 56 private villas set amongst natural vegetation and lush landscaping by a private stretch of white sand beach – the epitome and benchmark for a rustic ‘eco-chic’ island resort.
Six Senses Yao Noi’s Villas all have open-style bathrooms and an infinity-edge pool and sundeck offering magnificent views of the bay or surrounding forest.
Six Senses resorts are noted for a commitment to the environment. Local building techniques have been adopted, using natural, environmentally controlled, materials.
External and interior walls are wood panelled, with roofs constructed of sago palm leaf thatching.
What's so Special?
Six Senses setting is just wonderful, with iconic southern Thai limestone scenery. The speedboat ride to the resort is a real highlight in itself. There’s a real sense of arrival.
Breakfast is something to really look forward to. Six Senses do breakfast buffets very well indeed – expect variety, quality and attention to detail.
Bear in Mind
