Koh Yao Noi Trips & Tours

45-minutes by boat from Phuket, yet several worlds away from the buzz of Thailand’s largest island, Yao Noi is mellow, relaxed and cool as a frozen cucumber (apart from the food). The tiny island is for those that like things remote and aside from a handful of ultra-private, ultra-gorgeous hotels, it’s just you, the palm trees, ocean for days, and views of the karsts that will make you gasp. The waters here are truly unspoiled and a sea-kayak or a long-tail expedition will take you to hidden coves and crescents of sand that feel as if you’re the first to discover. Landlubbers can take advantage of the quiet roads for a cycle or a moped trip, and in the north, the rock climbing is fantastic. And if you need a helping hand on the way to holiday nirvana, the hotels here have some of the best spas in the world. Need we say more?
