What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The interiors are spacious and elegant, with floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding glass doors opening onto large wooden decks seemingly suspended over the sea.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Ao Yon Beach sits at the bottom of a steep cliffside staircase, home to a quiet village and working pearl farm.
The rooms
Each villa opens to a private infinity pool, and bathrooms hold two-seater spa tubs.
Pool and gym
Bring a swimsuit.
A cliffside infinity pool looks out over Ao Yon Bay, and cardio machines face directly into the tropical forest.
The spa
Soak slowly.
Wooden catwalks link the spa pavilions over a reflective pond, with private suites opening to the jungle canopy.
Bar
Akoya Star Lounge
Sunken booths and daybeds sit 55 meters above the bay, with resident DJs playing sets through sunset.
At the table
Yon Ocean House serves southern Thai recipes and fresh seafood behind floor-to-ceiling glass overlooking the bay.
How it began
Studio Gronda elevated the pavilions on the hillside so the coastal tree canopy could continue growing undisturbed beneath.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.

It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.

Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.

Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.

Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.

A place apart: the property is the destination.
