Six Senses Yao Noi

Away from Phuket’s party-zones and overdeveloped complexes you’ll find pearly-white beaches, national parks, wildlife sanctuaries and plenty of zen. You’ll also discover idyllic properties such as Six Senses Yao Noi, which is perched on a cliffside between Phuket and Krabi.

The Robinson Crusoe of romantic hotels, Six Senses’ butterfly gardens, hilltop infinity pool and views over the turquoise waters of Phang Nga Bay will help you to forget that 2020 even happened. The thatch-roofed suites come with huge beds, sexy bathrooms and your own infinity-edged pool; plus, a personal butler is on tap to arrange private spa treatments and evening barbecues. The resort is also seriously into sustainability, evidenced in the lemongrass drinking straws, reusable glass bottles and drinking water sourced from the wells dotted around the property.
