THE RESORT SETTINGS: The resort is located on the southern peninsula of Koh Yao, looking at Krabi to the East and Koh Pee Pee to the South. A dirt road drives to a very tranquil and pristine valley called Na Luk planted of rice paddies. The valley is enclosed by mountains and forest, laying in the back of the resort in the shape of a Holy Sleeping Dragon who protects the area from monsoon winds, traffic noise, and any other possible "spiritual" annoyance.
Our three pavilions and each private Thai-style sala are spacious, airy and filled with with antique furniture and all amenities for your comfort. They open directly onto a lush tropical garden planted with many native species of trees, palms and flowers, orchids. Close to the sea, a natural swimming pool of smooth shape offers its fresh and clear water. Koyao Bay Pavilions offers a rare and environmentally sensitive ensemble: Discreet, smart, integrated building that focuses on fitting in to natural surroundings, offering guests a true taste of tropical luxury.
Privacy is of course a major concern: each pavilion is secluded from the others. Trees, palms and flowers are carefully planted to provide total privacy and quiet.
In the back of the property, our rice paddies extend up to the hills surrounding the valley.
Behind the villas is the clubhouse (dining and cocktail lounge) overlooking our rice fields, and with a view to inland mountains and forests. Green and fresh, soothing on the eyes and relaxation for the mind.
It is the place to meet with friends, other guests and our staff and guides. Here you will receive all the information you need about the resort and the island. You will find there books & maps to highlight your next day excursion program as well as movies and slideshows giving insights of places to be visited.
Our staff are always available to help you with anything you need to know, to arrange for or to order. Don’t worry, we take care of it all. Just tell us what you want - a day trip, a barbecue, special meals - and we will arrange it for you.
Afternoon tea (local cookies, rice and banana cakes) is served at the clubhouse and breakfast and meals will be served in your own sala if you wish, or at the restaurant. Cocktails and fruit are served by the swimming pool or on the beach.
Daily massage (2 hours) is included in room rate: please appoint our masseur/masseuse at your convenience.
