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.

We stayed at Six Senses Yao Noi for 5 nights. The staff are great and attentive, facilities are adequate but for the price of the hotel per night, Six Senses are living of a Brand. The resort is in need of upgrading, rooms are still good, beds comfortable and outside lounge areas clean, but the electrics, tech (Basic TV or speakers et) need updated. Bathrooms also in need of updating. The resort in its entirety is also requiring maintenance, from the wooden steps to the walkways, and the rooms. For the price paid I would expect this to be ultra special and on point for every aspect. The island is very special and the wildlife amazing. In addition if maintenance is ongoing (and its needed), for the price paid, I would expect the resort to be closed and updated. We had multiple maintenance happening to the left and right of our villa. Granted its low season but again if the price is this high they should not be compromising guest peace and quiet with maintenance noise. Planned closure or close villas that are close to maintenance etc should be done. I would come back to the island, the hotel is in a very special place and has amazing grounds and beach. If you want silence and relax (out-with of maintenance noise) and the hotel has been updated in a year or two. I may consider coming back to this hotel. For now though the price is to high for what you are getting. Breakfast was not the best, would expect higher level of offering and service for the breakfast. Staff amazing though and we enjoyed our time, if not a little annoyed with the cost for the experience. Read less

Staying at Six Senses Koh Yao Noi feels like experiencing a piece of heaven on earth. I truly don’t think there is a more perfect location for a hotel anywhere in the world. The concept of luxury with simplicity is simply genius – everything is created in harmony with nature. You can even collect fresh eggs from the chicken coop and pick herbs for your own breakfast. The chefs and the food are outstanding – with a special mention to the incredible Thai chef Jay, who is a true star. Above all, I want to thank the amazing staff, especially Kat, who personally took care of us every single day. When we weren’t satisfied with our initial room due to some issues, she never gave up until we were moved to a perfect villa, making sure our stay was flawless in every way. This is not just a hotel – it is an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended, and we will definitely return. Read less

The best service from a hotel we have ever experienced. The personal guest managers, the waiting staff, the buggy drivers could not do more for us. A truly amazing hotel experience. We went in rainy season - I would always go in rainy season. Sunny days, occasional downpours , thunder, white fluffy clouds. Our waiters and waitresses really added the wow factor to a 5 star experience. Luna, Beam get a special mention but all were faultless in the approach to making us feel welcome every dinner service. We had an amazing forest room villa. There is no need to hope for a sea view, as you have these at breakfast, lunch and dinner. Enjoy the flora and for na from your outdoor shower. Fatih ( manager ) and our GEM ( Margie) met us upon arrival by speed boat and couldn’t do enough for us. Six senses is a stunning hotel experience. Read less

There was a range of activities on offer and our little girl loved their ecowarriors program and all the arts and crafts available through Earth Lab. All of the staff were extremely hospitable with a massive shout out to our guest experience manager Lily who was kind, responsive and went above and beyond. Would highly recommend this resort and we will certainly be back. Read less
