Koh Yao Noi is a beautiful and enchanting tropical island, ideally situated in the Bay of Phang Nga, within short distances from Phuket, Krabi and many untouched islets.

The island itself is still a very genuine, quite and peaceful place to live. Surrounded by rain forests, tropical reefs and islands, sandy beaches and mangroves, Koh Yao Noi offers what many other places simply can't: peach and silence, untamed scenery and many natural wonders.

The open tropical architecture, inspired by tradition but adapted to modern comfort, is enhanced by the extensive use of natural material: woods and stones, lime plasters, vegetal roofs and fences.

Here, we trust in a tradition style of hosting, simple and elegant surroundings. Koyao Bay Pavilions is a distinguished destination that takes into account all aspects of a luxury vacation while respecting the individual's need for privacy.

For those familiar with our previous achievements on Koh Yao Noi, please be assured that our standards and original beliefs are intact. For those who don't know us, we welcome you to enjoy a secret island journey.
