Where to Stay in Koh Yao Noi?
There are about 50 hotels, villas, resorts and bungalows for you to choose from on Koh Yao Noi, which is 15 km east of Phuket at the closest. The range of accommodation available goes from cheap but charming cottages near the sea to luxurious private pool villas with stunning views of the limestone cliffs of Phang Nga Bay.
Koh Yao Noi is a remote, quiet island, and it is effortless to find and book your accommodation. Remember that because there are not so many beaches around, you will probably spend more time in your hotel than you would when in Phuket.
