Wake up to soft sea breeze, chirping birds and the soothing waves at Yao Yai Beach Resort, a tropical resort on the beautiful island of Koh Yao Yai. Its sea-facing air-conditioned villas are made of natural materials and enjoy amazing sunset views. Surrounded by coconut trees and butterflies, the villas, which are between 10 and 98 feet from the private 75-yard long beach, all come with a mosquito net and private balcony. Most villas boast a shared pool. Located by the beach, some villas have a flat-screen TV and mini-bar. Private bathrooms have shower facilities. Yao Yai Beach Resort is accessible by ferries from Koh Sireh, Krabi and Koh Phi Phi. From the local pier on Koh Yao Yai, it is a 30-minute taxi ride to the resort. Guests can go canoeing or fishing by the sea, or take a relaxing stroll along the 0.9 mi white sandy beach. Bicycle rentals and day trips can be arranged at the tour desk. The resort also provides massage and 24-hour room service. The on-site restaurant serves delicious Thai and Mediterranean dishes, as well as fresh seafood. Refreshing cocktails can be enjoyed at the beach bar.
