Six Senses Koh Yao Noi

Six Senses Yao Noi is built into a jungle hillside on Koh Yao Noi, an island between Phuket and Krabi in Phang Nga Bay. Its 56 villas, ocean, beachfront and hideaway, are built from teak in a traditional style with private infinity pools, and the resort draws its water from its own reservoir and wells, bottling still and sparkling drinking water on-site in glass rather than plastic. Leftover construction timber has been repurposed into furniture. Snorkel or dive the surrounding reefs, or take a boat out to explore the limestone islets dotting the bay. Visit the organic garden, mushroom farm and goat and poultry pens that supply the kitchens, and look out for the nesting boxes the resort has installed to support the local hornbill population, affected by nearby deforestation.
