Koyao Bay Pavilions, Phang Nga, Thailand

Welcome to Koyao Bay Pavilions... Phang Nga, Thailand...

An intimate beach-front hideaway for the discerning travels. 2 hours massage per day per villa free for charge.

All villas have open view to the bay and direct access to a wild beach of clear sand.

Koh Yao Noi is a beautiful and enchanting tropical island, ideally situated in the Bay of Phang Nga, within short distances from Phuket, Krabi and many untouched islets.

The island itself is still a very genuine, quite and peaceful place to live. Surrounded by rain forests, tropical reefs and islands, sandy beaches and mangroves, Koh Yao Noi offers what many other places simply can't: peach and silence, untamed scenery and many natural wonders.

The open tropical architecture, inspired by tradition but adapted to modern comfort, is enhanced by the extensive use of natural material: woods and stones, lime plasters, vegetal roofs and fences.

Here, we trust in a tradition style of hosting, simple and elegant surroundings. Koyao Bay Pavilions is a distinguished destination that takes into account all aspects of a luxury vacation while respecting the individual's need for privacy.

For those familiar with our previous achievements on Koh Yao Noi, please be assured that our standards and original beliefs are intact. For those who don’t know us, we welcome you to enjoy a secret island journey.

The beach itself extend in front of the villas, just by the resort's gardens. It is continued up north by cliffs covered by rain forest. Quiet and secluded, well preserved and kept as wild as originally, the beach is the realm of Sea Eagles, Hornbills (Kalao birds), Egrets and many other birds species.

Surely you will enjoy then to go for a walk along the shore, enjoying the peace, the silence and the beauties of the island, contemplating the enchanting colors of the scenery at the end of the afternoon.
