There are 39 villas and 60 rooms at this upscale property on Koh Yao Yai, one of the nicest and largest resorts available on the island. It’s in a remote spot and has a stunning private stretch of beach, so it's suited to those looking for an idyllic island escape. The rooms and villas are huge and beautifully decorated with carved teak wood. They include large balconies, and the villas have fantastic sea views from private pools. There are a whole host of facilities including five restaurants, a spa, a large pool, and a fitness center. Those who want somewhere less remote may be better off staying somewhere like the Hyatt Regency Phuket Resort, which has plenty of amenities nearby -- however, the Santhiya is far more elegant.

There are 40 bungalow-style villas at this three-and-a-half-pearl property set on the small, unspoiled island of Koh Yao Yai. Decor blends contemporary and rustic elements throughout the hotel. The private villas are simple and spacious, but have a modern finish and include outdoor bathrooms -- some even have private pools. The location is quiet and secluded, on a stunning private-feeling stretch of beach, and there’s a beachfront restaurant, two bars, a pool, and a small fitness center. However, Koh Yao Yai is best for those looking to escape the bustle of the mainland and its trappings. Those in search of something wilder should consider the Patong Merlin Hotel in lively Phuket as an alternative -- it's just across the scenic bay.

There are 67 private villas at this three-and-a-half-pearl property set on the east coast of secluded, quiet Koh Yao Yai. The location is serene and the hotel sits on a private stretch of beach. The villas are spacious and have a rustic, traditionally Thai look to them, with details like woven bamboo roofs and outdoor showers. Each has a large balcony, some of which have sea views. There are three eating and drinking venues -- though they aren't all open year round -- plus two stunning infinity pools, a spa, shop, and small fitness center. It’s worth comparing with GLOW Elixir Koh Yao Yai, which is on one of the island's best beaches, though rates there may be higher.
