Six Senses Yao Noi in Koh Yao Noi

Fantastic stay at the 6S in Ko Yao Noi! The villas offer a sanctuary of peace in the jungle, with beautiful views of the dramatic limestone islands in the sea, that can be enjoyed from your private pool - very romantic.
The food offering is excellent, both western and thai, with a health conscious curation of the menu and authentic thai flavours. My highlight was the spicy pad kra pow for breakfast - dont forget the crispy egg! - but there really is something for everyone, with a focus on high quality ingredients: eggs, veggies and produce are sourced from the onsite farm. Good cocktail selection for an intimate recap of the day at sundown.
Finally, the service is amongst the best in Thailand (already a high bar) with the team catering for your stay around the clock and allowing you to focus on yourself - holidaying as it should be!
The hotel is relatively remote (total car and speedboat time of ~1.5hrs from airport) but definitely worth the escape. Will return.

This was the 2nd stay in Six Senses. My first one was Six Senses Evason, which is said to have been closed long time ago. Then me and my wife were completely satisfied with the stay, so this time we never hesitated to choose Six Senses Yao Noi. How was this stay? It couldn't have been better! Its location is only one of a kind on the planet. Their service was way beyond any of my expectaions! World-class quality was certainly assured! Especially our burtler Tan did his duties perfectly. Thanks Tan!

Excellent location and our villa was beautiful with an amazing view. The water pressure and temperature were an issue during our stay. We had to run the shower for 5-10 mins before it got warm. Service was also spotty for a hotel with tons of staff. Waiters would routinely forget our food orders and requesting a buggy/golf cart would take 10 mins. Otherwise, it’s a great resort.

The Six Senses Yao Noi is an experience that can be compared to reading a thrilling tale. No matter the length you will be left wanting more. Unable to believe the story has ended and yet satisfied that you experienced a beautiful and enriching moment.

The hotel is amazing, the nature is incredible and the views are tantalizing. Most importantly though the people working at the hotel are so thoughtful, kind and welcoming. The jewl (gem) in the crown is the GEM (Guest Experience Maker) who like a narrator leads you through the journey. In our case Tarn honestly made our stay amazing. Her recommendations were on spot. She was extremely attentive and supportive and we are happy she has made our stay smooth and unique.

I would highly recommend this hotel

We are just coming to the end of our 4 night stay at the six senses and we’ve had the most wonderful few days and can find very few markers that do not get a 5/5 from us. This is a hotel brand we have come to love starting on our honeymoon in Portugal, to Ibiza and now Thailand. The Thai resort has a different vibe to its European counterparts but that is fitting for the location, which is Thailand 20 years ago in time and completely unspoilt, in case you were wondering. You will find few places such that can give you the experience you’ll get here. Service: I’m not sure I can recall having had much better. Every single member of staff you encounter greets you with a wonderful smile. The operation is super slick - from the on demand golf buggies to transfer you over the resort (it’s complex to navigate without a map but not dissimilar to a Maldives resort with villas spaced out from multiple restaurants). To borrowing rain jackets, mountain bikes or anything else you could want. A special mention to Nubsib who looked after us the whole time, greeting us at every single mealtime and being in contact with us daily on WhatsApp about any special dining events, happy hours or tours that were happening throughout the resort. We attended two ‘special events’ - a fish bbq where the executive chef spent time with us discussing food and all things chilli sauce, to a special drinks on the beach with all the staff where we got to chat to the general manager and sous chef at the Nithan restaurant. Many wonderful people work here and they all collectively made our stay memorable. Villa: we stayed in 14 which was a hideaway villa that had good sun into the afternoons on our pool deck. We were very happy with the condition and amenities. House keeping come in twice a day and turn down your room with the mosquito net set up in the evening. The pool, beach and restaurants are all wonderful. Food is a very high quality and every restaurant offers a unique setting in the resort. The breakfast buffet isn’t super vast - it offers good European, Chinese and Thai options - as well as 5 or 6 made to order dishes and a juice menu which is typical for the six senses resorts. The morning view over the limestone islands is beautiful. Mozzies: now let me prefix this, I am a pasty English girl who has suffered with cellulitis related hospital visits on prior trips from mosquito bites be it Kenya, Malaysia, Hong Kong… I’m married to an Asian and that is part and parcel of coming to Asia I am afraid, so come prepared is the lesson here. I come on every trip with anti histamines, anti inflammatory tabs, aloe gel, ice packs, hydrocortisone just in case… and I read the reviews here before I arrived so I was doubly prepared. I used my jungle 50 deet daily and I have not been bitten once and I haven’t needed my stash of meds. That is a good outcome for a trip to Asia! As long as you take precautions you’ll be fine. They are fumigating the resort a few times a week that not e

From the very moment we arrived, we realized this was a completely different level of hospitality.
The entire team - from the reception to the restaurants, from the drivers to the pool staff – radiates warmth, professionalism, and genuine care. Every request, big or small, was handled quickly and thoughtfully, creating the feeling of a welcoming home within a luxury resort.

The facilities are outstanding- beautifully designed villas with every detail considered, breathtaking views, a stunning pool, and restaurants offering food of the highest quality. Everywhere you go in the resort you can feel the attention to detail, the thoughtful touches, and the constant little surprises that make the experience so unique.

This is not just another luxury hotel - it is by far the best hotel experience we have ever had. A rare combination of world-class service, uncompromising quality, and natural simplicity that brings complete peace of mind.

A truly perfect stay - and we are already planning our return.

And thank you Zoe for taking care of us! 😍

The best resort I've ever stayed at. Service was the best I've ever had. Honestly the nicest, friendliest staff, from the GM Sam to housekeeping. Food was the best hotel food I've ever had. The location and facilities are excellent. Spa treatment superb. Love this place. Tonight is our last night of our honeymoon and felt compelled to write to this review.

The service was excellent; they came to clean several times a day, and any problems were resolved promptly.

A perfect vacation, perfect
