Hotel terbaik di Ko Yao Noi

We had 4 nights in the main Koyao Island Resort, then moved up to 9 Hornbills for 3 nights, which worked really well for us. Contact during our booking process was excellent and the front desk were particularly helpful, arranging our transfer to the next hotel with no fuss (when the hotel we were moving to were less than helpful). The views we'd enjoyed down in the resort just got better up the hill at 9 Hornbills and the pool, privacy and sense of space was exceptional. The tent was huge, light and bright and the private pool was bigger than average. There was an outdoor shower and a roll-top bath with shower attachment inside the tent bathroom area. Aircon did the job. It was cool enough in the morning, evening and through the night when you need it. It did get hot in the tent during the day, but this wasn't an issue as we were outside all day and you could just cool off in the pool. You are certainly away from it all up here, but that's literally the whole point. We walked to the main resort for breakkie or when going out for dinner (12 mins easy stroll downhill) and got the golf buggy back up. Jaw-dropping sunrises from our bed or the pool and one evening, we watched the most dramatic storm from our covered deck, seeing the clouds roll in to obscure the karsts completely for a time, before the rain thrashed down around us. We sat out under cover, drinking our Singhas and taking in the thunder and lightning show - it was amazing to watch from up a height. The main resort was peaceful, beautiful and clean, with one restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner and a spa, where I had really excellent oil massages (inc air con and a big comfy bed with a hole for your face to allow the brilliant therapist to work her magic on tight shoulders). The staff were all friendly and helpful, remembering our preferences and talking with us each day. If ever anyone didn't understand a question, they would quickly go and get a staff member who did, always with a smile. We had dinner at the main resort twice, both very good Thai meals and plenty of choice on the menu. The rest of the time, we ate in local places. There's a small bar/bottle shop 5 mins walk if you turn right outside the main resort, serving very cold beer in coolers, where we sat and watched the locals come and go before dinner. It's just before a small supermarket (Chans) which sold all the essentials and ran a very popular scooter hire. P'Chans restaurant wasn't open while we were there (but still shows on google maps). There are more places to eat and drink 10-15 mins walk if you turn left outside the main resort (or you can walk along the beachfront, in which case turn right from the resort). The hotel would happily take you to any of these in the golf buggy, but we prefer a wee walk. We never had a bad meal and enjoyed Parabar (boat shaped place - massive portions, great curries), Chubba cafe (for an arty, hippy lunch or coffee and cake or a shake), By the Sea

This hotel lives up to it's name, absolute paradise! It is so peaceful and relaxing with many activities on offer if you want. The daily yoga on the beach was a highlight! The food at the restaurant was lovely and the staff were very friendly. The buffet breakfast had everything you need and more. One small thing to know is that it is very remote, so if there are any snacks you would want, you might want to stock up before you arrive.

If you want the most delicious food in Thailand - this is the place!! We had beef massaman curry and chicken with cashew nuts and both were exceptional - best meals in 3 weeks of travelling Thailand! Home cooked authentic food with fresh ingredients ! Would eat here everyday if possible - don’t miss it if on Kia Yao noi

We were looking for the perfect tropical island, a paradise with few tourists and village-life. We finally found what we were looking for in Koh Yao Noi. The locals of Koh Yao Noi were some of the friendliest we had come across in Thailand. For a country that’s full of welcoming, warm people, that’s really saying something. Then it was Dan’s Koyao Retreat and the great host. Sin and the ladies took such a great care of us. It felt like we were staying in a home. Luckily we were alone during our stay. They offer three villas tucked away in the greenery, a private pool with a fantastic view and is visited by all kinds of birds, including hornbills. There are a handful of great restaurants and a beach at walking distance, and scooters and bikes are provided to explore the rest of the island. Service includes breakfast and afternoon tea, and they can organize fantastic massages, other meals and activities on request. We travel a lot and this is the best place we´ve ever stayed at. We will never forget the sunrise, the sounds and the views, the atmosphere and the warm hospitality. We will be back.

We spent four incredible days at the resort, and it was an absolutely perfect experience. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality and personal attention that made us feel truly special. The staff was attentive to every detail, ensuring our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. The beautiful surroundings and relaxing atmosphere added to the magic, allowing us to unwind and savor every moment. Whether it was lounging by the pool or enjoying the delicious meals, everything exceeded our expectations. We left with unforgettable memories and can’t wait to return.

Great hotel Perfect stay Great food Great service Very beautiful island

Purana Resort on Koh Yao Noi is easily one of the best resorts we've stayed at. We stayed in the beach front bungalows for five nights, which were really comfortable. We loved sitting on the balcony to relax, and to enjoy the fantastic views, especially for the picturesque sunsets! We also enjoyed the swimming pool, which was great for cooling down in the afternoons. The staff were all incredibly helpful and friendly, helping to organise transfers, bike hire and a really enjoyable private boat trip to Hong Island. The service was impeccable. We loved the food and drink throughout our stay, including the best piña colada cocktails on the island, and the most delicious prawns and curries at dinner. A big thank you to the whole Purana team for a memorable and special stay. From Jason, Phillip and Claire

We had an amazing experience at this wonderful resort since the moment we arrived. We traveled with another couple. The Resort arranged our pick up from the hotel we stayed in Phuket , and took us to the marina for the transfer in a long boat directly to the beach in front of the resort. The cabin was exactly as described in their web page. The view from our cabin was beautiful, we could see the gorgeous bay in front of us with the impressive mountains. The Resort was quiet and relaxing. And all the staff were super cordial and friendly. Piano was in charge, coordinating everything to our satisfaction. What an amazing manager, always super diligent with a smile on her face ! Soot was in the restaurant and bar overseeing to all our wishes, and giving us tips. The rest of the staff was super nice, respectful and friendly. We never saw the cleaning crew and everything was clean and fresh around the resort and in our cabin. We had an amazing shower area outdoors. It was great! The only thing to be aware is there is not a key when you are out of your room. The cabin stays open. They have safes in each cabin thought. But we felt like we were visiting friends, safe, happy and relax. Because we were there in low season there were not too many guests. We were lucky because there was not rain, at least during the day. All the ladies in the spa were great. Our friends and us had massages every day. It was awesome!! We ate at the Resort restaurant every day except one night that we went to a local restaurant. The food was delicious. Some of our favorite was the local fish and the papaya salad. We tried almost everything in the menu. We rented a Motorbike with side car and did drive around the island. Everybody is so nice around this small island. We visited the market to get some of the great sauces and local spices recommended by the restaurant chef at the resort. We did some shopping to get souvenirs and had a blast taking pictures and driving around. Piano offered us the amazing experience of stay our last night at their glamping area in the mountain. It was a beautiful luxury tent with incredible views to the bay and a private pool. We loved it! We would love to visit again. Thank you so much for the great service you all provided us and the great memories we all made. ขอบคุณ Lilia Salazar

I recently stayed at Niramaya Villa & Wellness, and it was a fantastic experience. The staff were incredibly kind and friendly, always ready to assist with booking boat trips and providing useful information about the island. The room we stayed in was huge, offering plenty of space for families with kids, which made our stay comfortable. One of the highlights was the private pool in our villa, complete with an outdoor shower—such a luxury! Despite the premium feel of the villa, the price was very reasonable. This combination of luxury and affordability makes me want to return again in the future.
