Wake up to the sound of the Andaman Sea and the promise of a day that’s entirely your own. At Anantara Koh Yao Yai, you can take your pick - from family suites with space to play, to villas made for barefoot luxury and sea-view sunsets. Just a short hop from Phuket, this island hideaway invites you to slow down and savour Thailand at its most relaxed. Spend your mornings on golden sands or exploring the island, cool off in the pool that suits your mood (lively and family-friendly, or tranquil and adults-only) then ease into evenings with fresh seafood, Thai flavours or cocktails as the sun dips low over Phang Nga Bay.

Luxury and nature in harmony you can have all within a 5 minutes sidecar ride.
From top lodging to wild Island life you can have all and a glass of champagne( great wine list was surprisingly varied)
“Very nice resort, a few mis-steps”
Apr 18, 2026Ug1985
It is already our second time to visit the resort, which is lovely. The villa host (August) was great again, thank you!
However, a couple of issues are worth noting: first, setvice at lunch is incredibly slow. One day it took over 2 hours, which is not acceptable with small kids. Second, on the day of leaving, eveything was delayed by 230 mins. They forgot to send the buggy for us and the luggage and had to call 4 times before they showed up. We almost lost our flight

“More than just a Holiday Hideaway”
Apr 16, 2026Sightseer61224400315
My trip to Yao Yai was planned for relaxation, but it turned into an unforgettable gastronomic journey, courtesy of Chef Ton.
Beyond his obvious skill in the kitchen, his kindness and hospitality were unparalleled. He made us feel deeply welcomed, setting a standard for service that exceeded the high expectations of an Anantara property. Chef Ton is a shining example of guest-centric service, and I believe he has a very bright future in your management team.
