Laguna Villas Yao Noi is a 4-star residence located on the east coast of Koh Yao Noi, facing Phang Nga Bay. Eight beachfront villas, a beach 20 meters away, terraces oriented toward the sunrise: the property emphasizes intimacy rather than the grandeur of a large resort.

Why choose Laguna Villas Yao Noi

The establishment has only eight villas divided into four types, which maintains a discreet atmosphere. The property faces Phang Nga Bay, where limestone karsts emerge at sunrise—a setting that few accommodations on Koh Yao Noi can offer with such immediate proximity to the sea.

The 4-star rating corresponds to a coherent level of service: daily housekeeping, attentive staff, complete amenities in the villas. The modest size of the residence facilitates a personalized relationship with the on-site team.

Atmosphere and setting

The villas are set in a tropical garden, just steps from the sand. The aesthetic blends contemporary Thai architecture with natural materials, without the heaviness of large hotel complexes. A lagoon pool runs through part of the property and directly serves two of the accommodation types.

Koh Yao Noi remains an island spared from the mass tourism that affects Phuket or Krabi: no dense shopping streets, minimal traffic, active Muslim fishing villages. This environment extends to the gates of the residence.

The villas

Four categories are offered:

• Sunrise Suite (72 m²) and Beach Suite (72 m²): direct access to the lagoon pool
• Villa Baya (105 m²): unobstructed view of Phang Nga Bay
• Villa Eva (141 m²): private pool, the most spacious category

Furnished terraces face east with sunrise views over the islands. Each accommodation includes a living room, equipped kitchen, bathroom with rainfall shower, mini-bar, safe, Smart TV and free Wi-Fi. All villas are air-conditioned.

On-site services

The residence has a restaurant-bar, pools and a spa. Laundry service is charged separately (rates to be confirmed on-site). Several local restaurants are within walking distance, about ten minutes away, allowing you to alternate between the hotel dining and village options.

Location and access

Address: 29/28 Moo 5, Koh Yao Noi, Phang Nga, 82160. The residence is located on the eastern part of the island, facing the sunrise and Phang Nga Bay.

Koh Yao Noi is reached by boat from two main piers: Tha Lane (Krabi side) and Bang Rong (Phuket side). Allow approximately fifty minutes by road from the airport (Krabi or Phuket) to the pier, plus the boat crossing and transfer on the island. Plan for half a day to complete your journey from flight arrival.

When to visit

The dry season in the Andaman Sea extends from November to April: clear skies, calm waters, ideal conditions for boat trips to neighboring islands. From May to October, the monsoon brings showers and stronger swell, but rates are more accessible and the island less crowded. December-January remains the most sought-after period.

Around the area

Several beaches and sites are accessible from the residence:

• Pa Sai Beach, Tha Khao Beach and Klong Jark Beach: tranquil coves of Koh Yao Noi
• Hong Island: interior lagoon accessible by longtail boat, one of the bay's signature excursions
• Koh Nok: small islet with white sand beach, ideal for a half-day snorkeling trip
