The hotel

Nestled on a small island in breathtaking Phang Nga Bay, Six Senses Yao Noi is an escape destination like no other. Built on the site of a former rubber plantation, the resort's lush landscaped gardens and mangrove forests provide a haven for local wildlife and hide a selection of beautifully rustic but thoroughly contemporary guest villas, representing an uncompromised level of luxury. The attention to detail and focus on the destination reinforces the resort's commitment to the environment. Each villa has its own infinity-edged pool with sundeck and is attended to by a personal villa team, trained to anticipate your every whim. You will be spoilt for choice when it comes to dining at Six Senses Yao Noi. The Hilltop Restaurant is an exclusive venue with extraordinary views of Phang Nga Bay, whilst the Dining Room offers fine dining and a glass floor with a meandering creek beneath. For something a little more personal, dine at the Chef's Table or allow your butler to arrange a champagne breakfast, a private picnic or an evening barbecue beneath the stars. Be sure to visit the spa, one of Asia’s finest, set in a traditional Thai longhouse and offering a wealth of treatments and yoga programs. You can also enjoy a choice of cultural excursions, bicycle tours and cooking classes. But the greatest star is the bay; perhaps one of the best spots in Thailand to sail, kayak or simply lay back and marvel at the collection of limestone sentinels rising purposefully out of the turquoise sea.

There truly are not adequate words to express the amazing experience of staying at Six Senses Yao Noi! It is literally like stepping into a paradise dream!! The tranquility and stunning beauty of the property and your accommodations transcends you . It’s stepping into a fantasy. We spent 5 days here and from our airport arrival to departure every person we encountered was intent on making our stay perfect.The Thai culture and Buddhist serenity colors every day. Our Gem( butler) Must was an absolute treasure. We loved talking and learning from her and she made every day perfect. Anticipating our every need. Also special thanks to Miquel, Five, Pim, Gook, Boi, Frame, Pirawat, Ju, Fast and Chef Martin. The food , drinks and menu here couldn’t have been any better. We often shy from all inclusives because of the food quality and offerings- but it was wonderful here! A delicious feast every day. Make sure and do a private boat trip! We did the James Bond Island excursion and Man and Mim delivered a day we will remember forever. There are not words to describe the beauty of the turquoise Andaman Sea with its gum drop mountains rising out of the oceans!!!!! I visualize it every day!! You should treat yourself to a stay here- it is worth every penny and is absolute paradise. Read less

Just finished a 9 days stay at Six Senses Yao Noi, and it was ok. But not more. Just ok. Which is dissapointing given the expectations we had from from previous Six Senses stays. But in more detail: Staff: 9/10 points Its Thailand, the attitude of the staff, the friendliness, the attention to detail is second to none. Nearly every staff member performs a good job and does the best to make you feel welcome. The food: 5/10 points Amazing breakfast, good service and selection. From local to western, from Japanese to Thai. Fresh fruit, healthy and also yummy selections. Actually the only reason for the 5 points. The rest of the offering gets boring very fast. Its ok tasty (except the pork belly mentioned in other reviews) but overpriced (100 USD for an in room dining steak, that even I can cook better). Good Thai, ok Western selection but prices that do not justify the quality and delivery. Dont get me wrong, its a remote location with higher production cost. But one should deliver better taste and presentation. Counts for all 3 main restaurants and in room dining. View from the Hilltop however is spectatcular. The rooms: 3/10 points Very tired if not to say old. A renovation is overdue and there is a slow decend into shabiness all around. Our friends in the neighbouring villa had the remainders of the toilet coming up in the shower, not very tasty. It was fixed, but the experience doesnt justify the room rate. It feels like every Dollar or Thai Baht is currently pressed out of the business with average service in return. The SPA: 20/10 points Just like the rest of the property, the SPA doesn´t look new, it also feels tired. But the treatments are out of this world. While expensive, they are worth every penny. Unlike the food or rooms. The property/island 10/10 If you are looking for a tropical paradise and dont care about run down rooms or average food, this is your place. Amazing vegetation and well maintained. In summary: If you want to stay 2-3 nights while hopping the Thai islands, if you dont care about value for money on rooms quality or food, this is a good place to stay. I feel ever since Six Senses was taken over by Intercontinental it went downhill. The old magic is gone. Sad ! So, in a nutshell and I said it before, if you charge Four Feasons prices you better deliver a Four Seasons experience and not a Holiday Inn one. And please, for the sake of this app and people reading your response. Avoid any AI generated response like “happy you like this and that, we will address the downside of your stay”. Do something about this average experience you provide. Read less

My trip to six Senses @ Yao Noi was a great unmatched experience if you looking for a relaxing and quite top tear vacation. The resort management started follow up with with me regarding my arrival weeks before my arrival date. They wanted to make sure my trip from the Airport to the Marina and subsequently the boat trip to the Islad are all scheduled and planned correctly. Vanessa Acierto, Reservations Department, was following correctly to ensure all my planned, pick up, site visits, restaurants preference and tours are explained, planned, and reserved. Then on the day we arrived at the resort, a well experienced staff; Ganesh Sharma, was assigned to support us during our entire stay at Six Senses. He done a great job facilitating our stay and give us the best experience. No talking about the resort, I strongly recommend it if you need to have a relaxing and healthy vacation. It starts from the morning by visiting the resort farm to pickup your fresh eggs, mushrooms ( for the omelet ) and herbs. The restaurant will be happy to prepare your eggs based on your ingredients. The resort has two more restaurants; Nithan (Authentic Thai Cuisine) make sure not to miss. The food was phenomenal. I wish if I can go back again for their green curry and soft shell crab. Also the Hilltop restaurant and Bar the views and food were great. Very romantic. The private sandy beach with eady access and deep blue water at the resort was another great relaxing experience. The bar tender Rachan Jaras was extremely helpful in explaining the drinks herbs used from the garden and how it is used to prepare the local drinks. Not to forget the resort give the residents bicycles if they like to visit the close by villages. This experience was great and we had a chance to experience the local markets and sport activities. In summary it was a great experience if want to do again and again. Thank you all whom I mentioned and whom didn't have their names. Keep up the quality rich service 👌 Read less

From the moment we stepped out of our transfer at the Marina in Phuket we knew this was a special resort. We welcomed and waited for the speed boat transfer to the island. On arrival at Six Senses Ganesh our GEM greeted us and took us on a short tour of the resort.. then onto our villa. We had the 2 bedroom hideaway.. wow! Imagine if you were deserted on a tropical island, your own tree house.. like say Family Robinson or Cast Away … but it’s a luxury five star one. Nestled into the jungle, surrounded by nature. It was idyllic. Float in your own pool while tropical birds fly above you… We tried all the restaurants, actually loved Living Room. Food and service .. but all were lovely. Recommend taking the bikes out and also the mangrove kayaking, both free. Definitely book yourself into the spa, even just for a steam and sauna. These are private areas you can have .. they r amazing. We also had some treatments which were just lovely. Six Senses Koh Yai Noi is less of a resort and more of an experience. We felt truly blessed to be there. Loved every minute. Read less
