PParadise KohYao is between the island of Phuket & Krabi, uniquely nestled into its own bay at the top of this world famous island Phang Nga bay. With no other accommodations within a 20 minute drive, or boat ride. Surrounding the resort on all sides is National Parkland which ensure the serenity of the resort.
Why we Love it
- Fantastic value for money!
- Koh Yao Noi is unspoiled, largely untouched, set in lush tropical forest with a wonderful remote feel.
- Rooms are spacious with spectacular views over the internationally renowned, (most famously for the James Bond Movie setting of “The Man with the Golden Gun and the Leonardo DiCaprio film “The Beach”) limestone backdrop of Phang Nga bay.
- Away from the major tourist spots of Phuket and Krabi and less than an hour away by speed boat from Phuket and 25 minutes from Krabi.
- The island is fringed by beaches and reef & limestone cliffs, surrounded by numerous tiny islands with their own beaches.
Our Recommendation
- Upgrade to Business Class flights.
- Upgrade to a sensational Plunge Pool Deluxe Studio is worth it!
- Rent a scooter (in main village area only) to explore the island and have super fun!
