Put simply, the Six Senses Yao Noi is in a league of its own, perfectly positioned in one of the most spectacular settings on earth. It’s a luxurious rustic resort set into a limestone cliff with jaw-dropping views towards Phan Nga’s iconic islets. No wonder James Bond was impressed.
The laid-back and intimate atmosphere is evident from the moment you take in the chic eco structures, built from local teak with palm thatched roofs, that will become home. All 56 rooms have private pools so the main variables are space and view. You’ll get all of the Six Senses superlative touches, from the sumptuous bed to the brightly coloured textiles, wine fridge and al fresco shower.
We love the ocean panorama pool villas with their 180-degree views beyond the private infinity pools.
Some of the best scuba diving sites in the world are within reach. The diving in Phan Nga bay and off the Phi Phi Islands is superb, with a staggering array of marine life.
