Yao Noi ahoy!

That guides will go out of their way to highlight the local mini-mart tells you something about how isolated the Thai island of Yao Noi has remained, but with Six Senses about to open a spa resort, the 4,000 residents may be about to see the "elusive isolated island feel" disappear, says Jake Newby in SH magazine. A number of high-end resorts already nestle in the hills, but the Evason Hideaway and Six Senses Spa will put its rivals in the shade, specifically of the palms that fringe its 56 poolside villas. For those reluctant to part with the required $700 per night in low season, the Koyao Island Resort is a cheaper option with the bonus of bungalows positioned on a superior stretch of beach. Other resorts include the Koyao Bay Pavilions and Paradise Koh Yao, each in superb locations with an array of extra options including diving and climbing.
