Hotels near Phuket

Paradise KohYao is located on the island of Koh Yao Noi (Ko Yao Noi) in Phang Nga Bay near koh kudu, between the island of Phuket & Krabi on the Thai mainland. Less than an hour away by speedboat from the hustle & bustle of the heavily burdened tourist destinations of Phuket & Krabi, the lush, tropical Koh Yao Noi is still largely untouched. Paradise KohYao is a boutique beach resort & spa that provides an idyllic, quiet, & very romantic get-away. Kick off your shoes, take a walk on the beach while holding hands, & surrender to the beauty of the island.

Paradise KohYao features 400 meters of pristine sandy beach where the clear, clean waters of Phang Nga Bay gently break on shore. One of the main nearby attractions is the inspiring limestone rock formation at the north end of the beach, part of the National Reserve Park.

The resort’s location on the northern tip of Koh Yao Noi, surrounded by the national reserve parkland provides magnificent views over Phang Nga Bay from private balconies, the beachside restaurants, the beach itself, hiking & biking trails, and the beachfront Yoga sala – from everywhere really! Think seclusion; think romance, think adventure, but most of all think memorable!

HOW TO GET TO PARADISE

Being on an island means getting to Paradise KohYao is more complex than your standard resort. The best and most convenient option is the resort organized transport. Pick-up can be organized anywhere from the airport or any hotel in either Phuket or Krabi. From there, we will whisk you to the beachfront of the resort.

For those seeking a more adventurous trip or travel savvy trekkers, a combination of public ferries, private long tails and taxis can be used to find your way to resort. These public transport methods may be challenge at times and may not meet the comfort levels of all travellers.

Operating Hours and Considerations

We run transfer boats at fixed times, once in the morning and once in the afternoon. Should these fixed times not suit your requirements, we kindly ask you to get in contact with our reservation team in order to evaluate a different possibility for your arrival with one of our boats.

In the interest of the safety for our guests and staff, boat trips will not operate at night. The operating hours for our speedboat transfers are from 8:00am to 5:00pm. Due to these restrictions, our pick-ups by limousine and minibus from the Airport/Hotel operate between 6:00am and 4:00pm. Please note: if your flight arrival time is after 4:00pm, we suggest you book accommodation in Phuket or Krabi. We can pick you up directly from the hotel/resort you stayed the following day.

Weather also plays a large factor in the safety of the speedboat operation. The final decision to run the transfer is with our responsible captains in charge. It is rare that bad weather sets in for long periods of time. In the event that poor weather prevents the transfer to the resort, Paradise KohYao can arrange resort the following day.accommodation with hotels of similar standards in Phuket/Krabi.

Local Transport

For those more adventurous and savvy travellers, local transport can be planned to travel to Paradise KohYao. Scheduled ferries run frequently from Phuket and Krabi to two terminals on Koh Yao Noi. From these terminals, a local “Tuk Tuk” (taxi) will be needed to reach Paradise KohYao in the north. Alternatively local longtail boats can be hired to transport you directly to the pier at the resort.

Local Tuk Tuks and longtail boats provide an interesting way to get around the island, Koh Yao Noi, and help support the local community but these local routes are not for everyone. Ferries can tend to get overcrowded and may not be up to some travelers expected comfort levels. The roads on Koh Yao Noi can vary from paved to unmaintained jungle trails.
