Amber Yao Noi
9.5 (3 reviews)

Amber Yao Noi ★★★★

📍 29 Moo 4, Koh Yao Noi

"It feels like a brand new 8 villa resort. Or just perfectly maintained. A warm welcome at the pier for a complimentary 25 minute ride to the resort. Welcomed as if we were royals, by Bambie and her team at the resort. The villa had everything you wished for. A plunge pool with jacuzzi. An amazing sunrise view. And tasteful furniture and amazing bed. Every day the staff made sure it was spic and span. The restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. During our stay there was limited occupancy, but the resort was fully operational. The beach bar was open and so was the restaurant. Their Thai Seafood salad plus extra white rice was to die for: a light, but tasteful dinner.  Nothing to complaint we’re already looking forward to a next stay. Thanks Barbie and team, we wish you well!"

TreeHouse Villas Koh Yao - Adults Only
9.0 (62 reviews)

TreeHouse Villas Koh Yao - Adults Only ★★★★★

📍 24, 2, Koh Yao Noi

"Simply Magical! This resort is an ethereal slice of paradise in the middle of the sea. Limestone cliffs and islands strewn across the turquoise backdrop of a pristine white-sand beach, topped only by the 5 - star service you receive from the very first moment of contact during transport to Koh Yao Noi. The child-free atmosphere is peaceful and quiet enough to enjoy the music of the island's natural wildlife. Then theres the villas. We stayed in a treehouse villa, and my only complaint is that they did not force me to book more nights. The 2- story treehouse catered to my inner child and gave it the biggest, most luxurious hug it has ever felt. We will be back, and it will undoubtedly be for much longer next time."

Elixir Resort Koh YAO Yai
9.0 (41 reviews)

Elixir Resort Koh YAO Yai ★★★★

📍 99, Prunai, Tambon, Phru Nai, Koh Yao Yai

"This was our first time on Yao Yai. In short, we're here for relaxation... Be sure to check the tide chart to swim at a time that's convenient for you. It's very quiet and peaceful. The breakfasts are delicious, European-style. We stayed in a Deluxe Villa on the top floor. Everything was wonderful. They provided a free bed for our child. Special thanks for that ❤️ We also had dinner at the hotel, and everything was delicious. The pool is always uncrowded, and the bar is open. All reservations must be signed for in the room, with payment upon checkout... As with many hotels. The staff is wonderful. The grounds are well-maintained and very beautiful. At our request via email, we were provided with a roundtrip transfer from the pier for 700 baht each way. Thank you for your hospitality 🙏 We highly recommend."

📍 89/1-3 Moo 7, Phunai, Koh Yao, Phru Nai, Koh Yao Yai

Koyao Island Resort Hotels in Koh Yao

Koyao Island Resort

"Koyao Island Resort turned out to be the perfect choice for our holiday. The place is simply beautiful — the rooms are clean, comfortable, and designed in a “close-to-nature” style, featuring a semi-open sky shower and wooden décor throughout. The resort’s restaurant was the best we experienced during our entire stay in Thailand. The staff at the pool, restaurant, and reception were all wonderful, kind, and welcoming. The beach is stunning, sandy, and peaceful, with the added bonus of complimentary kayaks for free exploration. The pool overlooking the shore is lovely and relaxing. In short — pure paradise and joy. I couldn’t have asked for a better choice for our family holiday."

9 Hornbills Tented Camp

"Our stay at 9 Hornbill Tent was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the stunning location and the luxurious glamping experience. The tent was spacious, beautifully decorated, and equipped with all modern comforts, while still preserving an authentic connection to nature. The views were simply breathtaking – with panoramic vistas of the surrounding jungle and peaceful serenity all around. Breakfast was served directly to our tent, and every dish was fresh, delicious, and thoughtfully presented. The staff were incredibly welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. We loved spending the evenings by our private campfire, stargazing under the clear sky – it was truly an unforgettable experience. If you're looking for a luxurious yet authentic nature getaway, 9 Hornbill Tent is a must! We can’t wait to return. – A very happy guest"

"Absolutely loved the outdoor shower in the room! All the staff were incredibly friendly, and the hotel offers a free shuttle service to Long Beach. The breakfast spread every morning was plentiful, and the resort has amazing wildlife – I even saw a black-tailed squirrel 🐿️. The hotel's cocktails are definitely worth trying too!"

Thiwson Beach Resort ★★★
"Generally a nice hotel with decent food, nice pool and a beach with beautiful views. Cottage is fine if not afraid of insects. The biggest letdown was actually the staff, they never smiled, they never acted polite and seemed to be depressed. For a beach resort you would expect at least some general happiness with greetings."

Elixir Resort Koh YAO Yai ★★★★
"We went during the off-season, so the prices were reasonable. The scenery was absolutely stunning, and the service was excellent; the staff were friendly and professional. We booked a massage service, and the price was very reasonable—600 baht for one hour of aromatherapy. The breakfast selection was plentiful, and since the town is halal, the hotel didn't offer pork for breakfast. The dining environment was very pleasant."
