Thailand’s islands are known for beautiful beaches, warm seas, and tropical scenery, but at Anantara Koh Yao Yai Resort & Villas, there is a chance to experience something a little different. Just 35 minutes by boat from Phuket, Koh Yao Yai feels worlds away from the pace of Thailand’s better-known resorts. Rubber plantations, quiet shores, and local villages shape the landscape, while days can be spent discovering the island, heading out across Phang Nga Bay, or simply enjoying the space to slow down. For couples, families, and anyone looking for a Thai island escape, Anantara Koh Yao Yai brings together beautiful surroundings, spacious accommodation, and experiences that make the destination as memorable as the resort itself.
