Six Senses Yao Noi

Amphur Koh Yao, Thailand

Apricating on Thailand’s coruscant Phang Nga Bay, it’s a case of paradise found on this cliffhanger of a resort. Overlooking a seascape punctuated by towering limestone peaks, Six Senses Yao Noi may only be 45 minutes from Phuket, but it feels a world away from the every day. Six Senses is a paean of sustainable luxury – the brand was founded by pioneer Sonu Shivdasani, recipient of the SevenRooms Icon Award 2023 at The World's 50 Best Hotels awards – and Yao Noi’s unwavering dedication informs every element of stays here. Hugging the lush hillside, 56 stilted pool villas – inspired by local village homes – set the benchmark for rustic-luxe lodging, with interiors shining a spotlight on enveloping teak and raw natural materials. A private infinity pool, open-air tub and outdoor shower immersed within the foliage of rubber plants hero privacy and seamless indoor-outdoor living. Better yet, each comes with a personal ‘Guest Experience Manager’ on hand to make manifest your every tropical fantasy. As you’d expect of an oasis-like enclave, facilities are dedicated to good times and down time, including a world-class spa that’s the perfect jet-lag balm. Four striking restaurants, serving diverse menus fuelled by homegrown produce, complete the picture.
