Enjoy the fabulous view over the archipelago from our Infinite Horizon swimming pool. But be warned: you'll have to make some hard choices every morning!
On your left, you will find our cook making Thai and international dishes, fresh from the nets of the local fishermen, in our cosy restaurant.
On your right it's easy to feel the soothing sounds and fragrances coming from our Spa, and straight ahead the relaxed library and its internet corner is beckoning, unless you decide to bring your book a few steps in the direction of the tropical drinks on display in the bar.
Should you prefer your own adventures to those of the library book heroes, the activity centre can help you arrange a boat trip to one of the many delightful neighbouring islands and will pick just the right motorbike or boat for your activity. Babysitting is available on request and there are books, DVDs and sports equipment for older children.
If you still can't make up your mind, maybe the German, Thai and Dutch management team can help you speculate about other options; they are always open for suggestions, and planning is half the fun, isn't it?
For your convenience we also provide transportation on the island and to and from destinations such as Phuket and Krabi. But please make sure you stay for one of our famed starlight barbecues on one of the romantic sandbanks in the bay.

It is almost certain that, during your stay here, you will want to take a day trip to one or two of the surrounding islands. Koyao Island Resort staff can arrange a perfect day out for you. Take a look at some of the examples below - there is a larger excursion book at reception.
A first start is to borrow one of the resort's mountain or motorbikes and to explore the island. The roads are easy to navigate and local people more than willing to help you should you get lost. If you feel like a more leisurely day, hire a Tuk Tuk (taxi) and driver guide and set of for a day of fun and adventure.
At the resort there are boats for those who enjoy the sea. There are also canoes and fishing rods available. For day trips it is normal to use a traditional Thai 'longtail' boat - so named as its propeller is on the end of a long pole. On these excursions you visit mangrove forests, coves and caves, crystal clear waters and uninhabited islets. The islets and islands around Koh Yao Noi are formed by millions of years of deposits and are now made up essentially of limestone. Rock climbing is possible on the limestone cliffs and their weird formations make for some stunning photography at different times of the day.
For those who wish to travel further afield, outings can be arranged to Koh Yao Yai, Phuket, Phang Nga, Krabi or indeed the popular Ao Nang - all trips take maximum one hour travel time.
Aside from the scenic views that you will experience on day trips, one of the most thrilling aspects is that you are highly likely to see some of the regions most beautiful flora and fauna. We have monkeys, giant lizards, sea eagles, hornbills, kingfishers. and of course the charming local buffaloes and goats. For fishermen, take your chances with groupers, snappers, carangues and barracuda. Diving can be arranged through local operators. |
