The house
IHGThatched jungle hideaway
Thatched treehouse villas sit in the jungle canopy, looking across Phang Nga Bay toward limestone karsts rising from emerald waters.

Also in Wallpaper* and AFAR.
Here you’re surrounded by calm seas, sheltered by the bay, with views of the jutting limestone formations that rise out of the waters…
“Six Senses Yao Noi channels the castaway vibe with breezy villas from driftwood and thatch, a secluded beach, and an admirable eco-conscious ethos…”
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
A 45-minute speedboat ride from Phuket, quiet Koh Yao Noi trades resort bustle for mangrove channels, rubber plantations, and untouched fishing shores.
The rooms
Built from local teak and bamboo, every villa features a private infinity pool, an open-air shower, and a sunken ocean-facing bathtub.
The hilltop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A crescent infinity pool sits high in the hillside canopy, looking straight out across the bay.
The spa
Treatment suites open onto garden ponds, and guests blend botanicals with stone mortars at the Alchemy Bar.
Yoga and the gym
Open-air yoga sessions overlook the bay, and the glass-walled gym is surrounded by tropical forest.
Restaurant
The Living Room
Open-air dining tables look out over the sea stacks for breakfast spreads and regional Thai dinners.
Comprising a series of 56 villas and villa suites, accommodation here is what one would expect from a luxe Thai hideaway, with private infinity-edge pools…
At the table
The Hilltop serves seasonal tasting dinners above the bay, and The Den mixes cocktails across open-air daybeds.
