Wake up to the sound of the Andaman Sea and the promise of a day that’s entirely your own.

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.

“Magical Island”

Aug 10, 2026Kunal R

My wife and I celebrated our wedding anniversary at this beautiful resort, and it was one of the most memorable holidays we have ever had. Although our stay was in January 2025, I apologise for writing this review so late. The wonderful hospitality and kindness we received truly deserve to be recognised. From the moment we arrived, we felt very welcome. As part of our GHA DISCOVERY membership benefits, we were delighted to receive a complimentary upgrade from a Sea View Suite to a Sea View Pool Suite. It was a wonderful surprise and made our anniversary even more special. Waking up to beautiful ocean views and having our own private pool was simply amazing. The island itself is beautiful and peaceful, surrounded by lush greenery and stunning beaches. It truly feels like a private paradise where you can relax and enjoy nature while experiencing great comfort and luxury. One of the best parts of our stay was our wonderful villa host, Suchawadee Srisamut, also known as Hana. She was amazing throughout our stay. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and she always helped us with a smile and genuine kindness. Her attention to detail and warm personality made us feel very special. She played a big part in making our anniversary unforgettable, and we are truly grateful to her. The food was also excellent. Every meal was beautifully prepared and full of flavour, with a great selection of drinks. We especially enjoyed the in-room dining experience. Everything was beautifully presented, and the service was excellent. During our stay, we also explored the island and enjoyed the elephant safari, which was a wonderful experience and gave us another special memory from our trip. What makes this resort truly special, however, is its people. Every member of the team was warm, friendly, and welcoming. Their kindness and professionalism made our stay even more enjoyable. Thank you to Hana and the entire team for making our wedding anniversary so special. We left with beautiful memories and hope to return again in the future.

“An Amazing Stay from Arrival to Departure”

This was our second stay at Anantara Koh Yao Yai Resort, and it was just as memorable as the first. The resort is absolutely stunning, offering breathtaking views, beautiful facilities, and a peaceful atmosphere that’s perfect for a luxury island escape. What truly made our stay exceptional was the outstanding hospitality. A heartfelt thank you to Joe and the entire Front Office Team for making us feel genuinely welcome from the moment we arrived. Their warm smiles, professionalism, and attention to every detail made all the difference. Every interaction felt personal, effortless, and sincere, creating a level of service that truly reflects the Anantara brand. We would also like to thank the team at The Beach Restaurant for making every breakfast such an enjoyable experience. The breakfast selection was excellent, with a great variety of high-quality dishes, and every member of the team was friendly, attentive, and provided exceptional service each morning. Our second visit only confirmed why we chose to return. Thank you to everyone for another wonderful staywe’re already looking forward to our next visit.
