Villa Yao Thailand

Built into the hillside on the magnificent Paradise Koh Yao Resort, Villa Yao is a phenomenal home for two lucky guests to enjoy an unforgettable location and a luxury resort with a secluded private beach.
Turquoise and white patterns, fabrics and painted furnishings throughout ooze chic-tropical charm, sparkling beneath the vaulted wooden ceiling. At the heart of the room is your king-size bed, into the back of which a fabulous writing desk is built and promises the perfect spot for penning a letter or postcard home. Enjoy these breath-taking views over Phang Nga Bay as you kick back in this wonderful king-size bed, through the full floor-to-ceiling windows.
There’s a satellite TV with international channels in the corner for a little light entertainment, perfect after a day of exploration across the iconic twin islands of Koh Yao Yai and Koh Yao Noi! In your exquisite ensuite bathroom with a semi-open-air design, a tropical environment offers total harmony with the natural world around you, as you invigorate yourself under the sunshine or stars.
When it’s time to truly switch off and soak up the tranquillity of this surreal location, head out to your private plunge pool on your magnificent Sala! Dip your toes in or dive into its depths for a perfect massaging soak. A romantic swing perfect for two hovers beside your decadent plunge pool, inviting you to slip into a rhythmic reverie as you sway back and forth through the air. Sublime panoramic views over the shimmering sea will add that little extra something to your holiday in the sun – and there’s certainly no lack of special somethings in Villa Yao. For a little sunbathing, this private terrace is a perfect spot to soak up some rays!
This high-class resort is complete with a private beach, several swimming pools, a beach bar, spa and countless bars and restaurants. The on-site restaurants include ‘Al Fresco’ restaurant beside the sea serving Mediterranean delicacies and the Seafood Terrace restaurant with a delectable array of Thai and Western cuisine. Alternatively, you can dine on the beach in a private, romantic setting for a special evening together, with fine wines and champagne on offer and a choice of a Thai or Western menu. For the ultimate early evening drinking spot, head over to Sundowners bar, where you can enjoy great evening views over the bay and often live music as you enjoy the sunset in the distance with a cocktail. Tucked between Krabi and Phuket, the iconic twin islands of Koh Yao Yai and Koh Yao Noi are some of the most famous landmarks of Thailand – and with a stay in Villa Yao, you’ll be right on the hillside of one of them!
While the resort enjoys its own private beach, if you fancy getting a little further afield, just a short but exhilarating speedboat trip away are some true tropical paradises, including the famous beach of ‘The Beach’ on the magical Phi Phi Islands! The Phang Nga Bay is undoubtedly a highlight for tranquillity and a calmer retreat from the more touristy areas.
Our on-site tour desk would be delighted to arrange excursions to the surrounding islands, including the famous James Bond Island! We also offer a shuttle service into the village, where you can hire a bike or motorbike to take you around this superb little island. With rice paddies and quaint markets all across it, it’s a fabulous place to explore!
And for those simply looking to be pampered, soak up the sunshine and indulge in a little ‘me time’ there are plenty of spas, massage parlours and golden beaches to get in a little self-care and relaxation!
The journey from Phuket Airport involves a 15-minute drive to catch a 60-minute boat ride, followed by a memorable 30-minute drive across the island!
