STAR ESCAPES

Koh Yao Noi

STAY

Peering out over the turquoise waters of Phang Nga Bay, a 45-minute speedboat ride from Phuket, Six Senses Yao Noi is an escapist’s dream come true. The thatched suites) have a treehouse-like feel and come with canopied beds and private infinity pools. When you’re not tanning on the terrace, there are nature-inspired batik painting classes and Muay Thai boxing lessons to get stuck into. It’s a place where you’re encouraged to be as intrepid or as idle as you please, and where the commitment to sustainability – including clean water projects – is worthy of applause.
