Wake up to the gentle sea breeze, the sound of chirping birds, and the soothing rhythm of the waves at Yao Yai Beach Resort, a tropical haven on the beautiful island of Ko Yao Yai. The air-conditioned villas, crafted from natural materials, face the sea and offer amazing sunset views.

Nestled among coconut trees and butterflies, the villas are situated between 10 and 98 feet from the private 75-yard-long beach. Each villa includes a mosquito net and a private balcony, and most feature access to a shared pool. Some beachside villas are equipped with a flat-screen TV and a minibar. All private bathrooms provide shower facilities.

Yao Yai Beach Resort is reachable by ferry from Koh Sireh, Krabi, and Koh Phi Phi. Once on Ko Yao Yai, the resort is a 30-minute taxi ride from the local pier.

Guests can enjoy canoeing or fishing by the sea, or take a peaceful stroll along the 0.9-mile white sandy beach. The tour desk can arrange bicycle rentals and day trips. For those seeking relaxation, massage services are also available, alongside 24-hour room service.

The on-site restaurant serves delicious Thai and Mediterranean dishes, as well as fresh seafood. Refreshing cocktails can be enjoyed at the beach bar.

Couples particularly appreciate the location, having rated it 9.6 for a two-person trip.

Guest reviews· 8.9/10 (851)

Guests consistently laud Yao Yai Beach Resort as a magical beachfront hotel offering a pleasant and mesmerizing experience. Many describe their stays as "perfection" and an "unforgettable beach paradise," with several expressing a strong desire to return. The resort's location is a significant draw, and visitors frequently praise the delicious food, beautiful and clean rooms, and friendly staff.

The resort appears to be a popular choice for group trips and those seeking a relaxing beach escape, with shell hunting being a particularly enjoyed activity. However, one guest suggested that while the resort and location were suitable, a six-day stay might be better split, recommending three days at Yao Yai and three days at Yao Noi, implying that while excellent, a shorter stay might be more ideal for some travelers.

Key amenities highlighted include an outdoor swimming pool, a coffee house on site, and the availability of special diet meals upon request. The accessibility features, such as the entire unit being on the ground floor and wheelchair accessible, are positive points, though it's noted that upper floors are only accessible by stairs.
