The Paradise Koh Yao Boutique Beach Resort & Spa is away from the crowds, peaceful and quiet, only 1 hour from Phuket or Krabi, Thailand. It’s a laid-back and close to nature setting perfect to relax and unwind on the 400 meter private beach, in the tropical spa and while practising yoga and meditation. Koh Yao Noi is unspoiled, largely untouched, set in lush tropical forest with a wonderful remote feel. The resort has 72 rooms, two restaurants and two bars. All of the exquisite rooms and villas are nestled in the tropical forest. They are spacious and private featuring a Thai style semi-outdoor shower and hollywood swing in the open sala living area. There are studios with integrated Jacuzzi or a large outdoor Jacuzzi on the terrace. The Pool Villas are just meters from the sea with a private pool and beach front garden. Or treat your self to the luxury of the Hilltop Pool Villa that has a large pool with a spectacular view over Phang Nga Bay. The main restaurant of the Paradise Koh Yao is nestled in a covered area among palm trees with additional seating on the open beach, looking out on the beautiful bay. In this wonderful tropical setting you will enjoy outstanding Thai and Western cuisine. The restaurant offers a great variety of fresh seafood as well as changing buffets and a tasty à la carte menu. The "Al Fresco" restaurant is also located right on the beach with additional seating in the sand under the shade of palm trees. It is a relaxing and casual restaurant presented in a refreshingly contemporary style with a pizza oven as a special feature near the main seating area. The cuisine is light Mediterranean, from tasty starters, Italian pasta and pizza to exquisite main dishes and delicious desserts. At the pool bar you can have drinks and snacks during the day and the beach bar is the perfect location to finish the day with a cocktail and watch the sun set. The resort offers guided tours around the island and bay, nature treks, snorkelling, scuba diving, rock climbing and also the possibility to explore the surrounding on your own with a kayak, mountain bike or by boat.
