Six Senses Yao Noi Hotel

Thailand

Even without the luxuries of Six Sense, Koh Yoa Noi is an island that has every tropical trapping you want from a sandy-beached getaway. A 45-minute speedboat from Phuket, it’s on the lesser-visited list compared with more famed islands of Thailand, and all the better for it.

Golden, secluded beaches, coconut farms, fishing villages, forest teeming with wildlife, and some of the area’s best diving nearby, there’s nothing more the Thai-loving traveller could wish for. Six Senses Koh Yao Noi brings together all the trimmings: thatched, stilted villas with their own pool embedded in the lush hillside, complete with sea views; the best spa and wellness offering; and the choice of both authentic Thai and quality international dishes.

One-bed villas from £500. 00 66 76 418 500, sixsenses.com
