Holiday Resort Koh Yao Noi: a stay with your toes in the sand on Long Beach

Located on Klong Jak Beach, also known as Long Beach, Holiday Resort Koh Yao Noi sits on the east coast of Koh Yao Noi island, in Phang Nga province. This 3-star establishment offers air-conditioned bungalows, fan-cooled bungalows and standard rooms, all facing the shoreline. The island remains largely untouched by the mass tourism that defines Phuket and Krabi, preserving a rural rhythm with its fishing villages and rice paddies.

Why choose this accommodation

• Direct beachfront location on Long Beach, one of the quietest beaches on Koh Yao Noi
• Three categories of lodging to suit different budgets and preferences (air-conditioning or fan)
• Water activities on-site: kayaking, snorkeling, fishing trips
• Relatively straightforward access from both Phuket and Krabi
• 3-star rating with SHA Plus certification awarded by Thai tourism authorities

The atmosphere: Koh Yao Noi far from the crowds

Koh Yao Noi remains one of the most peaceful islands in Phang Nga Bay. No bustling streets or rows of beachfront cocktail bars here: instead, long stretches of beach lined with coconut palms coexist with a preserved Muslim village life. Holiday Resort embodies this quiet spirit, away from the most frequented resorts. In the morning, the tide reveals wide sandy flats perfect for walking; at day's end, the view opens onto limestone karsts rising from the bay.

Accommodations

Three options are available, all facing the beach:

• Air-conditioned bungalows: superior comfort with full air-conditioning
• Fan-cooled bungalows: more affordable option with natural ventilation
• Standard rooms: an alternative to bungalows, also sea-facing

Non-smoking rooms are available. Pets are not permitted at the establishment.

Services and facilities

The hotel restaurant serves breakfast and an international menu throughout the day. Within walking distance, several other establishments complement the dining options: Pizzeria La Luna and The Rest Calm for Italian cuisine, Baan Limtalay for à la carte Thai cooking.

For leisure, the property provides a fitness center, swimming pool, jacuzzi, and bike and car rental services to explore the island at your own pace. An excursion desk organizes boat outings and water activities: kayaking through mangrove forests, snorkeling around neighboring islands, and fishing days.
