This hotel offers an exceptional view of a magical bay. He has won over many experts.
It is a splendor that is deserved but which delights all its visitors: in the hidden folds of the Andaman Sea, hides a luxury hotel which, year after year, takes the lion’s share in the rankings of accommodation offering exceptional views. Imagine yourself leaving dry land to reach this magical place. After a trip by motorboat from Ao Po Marina, travelers are immediately enveloped by the beauty of the region and its peculiarities.
The ride itself is part of the experience. The lucky ones can navigate between uniquely shaped islands, sedimentary rocks like natural sculptures. As the day progresses, and depending on the amount of sunshine, a palette of gray, rust and cream emerges before visitors’ eyes. The bay has been home to many film shoots, from the James Bond saga installment “The Man with the Golden Gun” in 1974 with Roger Moore in the title role to a recent season of Koh Lanta.
Finally, the time comes for arrival and disembarkation. At the heart of this splendor, the Six Senses Yao Noi Hotel in Thailand stands like a luxurious sanctuary. It is also only accessible by boat. Nestled between the provinces of Phuket and Krabi, this island resort promises a great escape to one of the most spectacular natural settings in the world: Phang Nga Bay. The hotel has won numerous awards in recent years and has attracted experts from travel and luxury magazines such as pollsters from Condé Nast Traveler magazine.
The villas, built in harmony with the environment, are scattered on a hillside offering breathtaking views of the sea and the surrounding jungle. The materials used, such as bamboo and palm leaves, show a respect for local traditions. The architecture is thus inspired by traditional wooden cabins on stilts, with thatched roofs.
Recently opened, the private villa “The View” (whose name goes straight to the point!) is the ultimate incarnation of this luxury experience. Offering 360° views of the neighboring islands and the bay, it not only offers an infinity pool, a private cinema, a fitness room and a dining room, but also a bed located above a visible waterfall through a glass floor. A dream place for an unforgettable honeymoon, but not accessible to all budgets: still count on 500 euros per night… in low season!
