There are 69 rooms at this four-pearl property set on the northern coast of Koh Yao Noi. It’s a quiet and unspoiled spot, and will suit those wanting to do nothing but recharge their batteries. Rooms are chic and spacious -- with lovely rustic details -- and have free Wi-Fi, air-conditioning, open-air living areas, and gorgeous sea and landscape views. The Hilltop Villa is especially lovely, with a pool and stunning Phang Nga Bay views. The hotel has a good range of low-key activities on-site, from painting classes to kayaking. There are two restaurants and two bars to try, and a spa and pool. Those wanting a more traditional Thai feel in their rooms may prefer Santhiya Koh Yao Yai Resort & Spa, on the neighboring Koh Yao Yai.

There are 19 villas at this romantic, upscale property set on the east coast of sleepy Koh Yao Noi Island. While its a far stretch from party-hard Phuket just across the bay, this resort prioritizes relaxation. Activities include kayaking or cycling -- with equipment provided free of charge by the hotel -- though lounging by the pool or on the beach are, of course, a major part of a stay here. Each villa is spacious, with polished rustic decor, and all have garden views or fantastic views of Phang Nga Bay. Note that not all of the rooms have air-conditioning, and those near the bar and restaurant aren’t as peaceful as others. Travelers wanting something with a more contemporary sheen can check out Paradise KohYao, which may be slightly cheaper.
