Santhiya Koh Yao Yai Resort & Spa

Tropical island charm combined with Thai craftsmanship: The Santhiya is situated on the tranquil island of Koh Yao Yai in Phang Nga Bay, on a wooded hillside overlooking its own private beach. From there, there is a sweeping view of the sea and the bizarre limestone islands. The architecture is in traditional Thai style, featuring intricately carved teak, high roofs and great attention to detail. Guests can choose from 60 spacious rooms with large balconies and 39 villas, many of which have their own seawater pool and sea views. Several restaurants serve Thai and international cuisine, alongside a bar, a spacious pool area, a spa and a fitness centre. Guests are transported by the resort’s own speedboat from Ao Po Grand Marina in Phuket, making even the journey there an experience in itself.
