Welcome to
Koyao Bay Pavilions... Phang Nga, Thailand...
An intimate beach-front hideaway for the discerning travels. 2 hours
massage per day per villa free for charge.
Koyao Bay Pavilions opens directly to 250 meters of sandy beach
and onto the spectacular panorama of Bileh's islands. Nestled
between the natural shoreline, paddy fields and forest hills, a
coconut plantation shelters three pavilions arranged around a
central swimming pool. All villas have open view to the bay and
direct access to a wild beach of clear sand.
Koh Yao Noi is a
beautiful and enchanting tropical island, ideally situated in the
Bay of Phang Nga, within short distances from Phuket, Krabi and many
untouched islets.
The island itself is still a very genuine, quite
and peaceful place to live. Surrounded by rain forests, tropical
reefs and islands, sandy beaches and mangroves, Koh Yao Noi offers
what many other places simply can't: peach and silence, untamed
scenery and many natural wonders.
The open tropical architecture,
inspired by tradition but adapted to modern comfort, is enhanced by
the extensive use of natural material: woods and stones, lime
plasters, vegetal roofs and fences.
Here, we trust in a tradition
style of hosting, simple and elegant surroundings. Koyao Bay
Pavilions is a distinguished destination that takes into account all
aspects of a luxury vacation while respecting the individual's need
for privacy.
For those familiar with our previous achievements on
Koh Yao Noi, please be assured that our standards and original
beliefs are intact. For those who don't know us, we welcome you to
enjoy a secret island journey.
[ Our Beach ]
Fringing the Andaman Koyao
Bay Pavilions opens directly onto the spectacular panorama of Bileh's islands: the craggy limestone
formations rise from the horizon, inviting to further sea adventures
and island discovery.
The beach itself extend in front of the villas, just by the resort's
gardens. It is continued up north by cliffs covered by rain forest.
Quiet and secluded, well preserved and kept as wild as originally,
the beach is the realm of Sea Eagles, Hornbills (Kalao birds),
Egrets and many other birds species.
There, you will probably enjoy to swim in the morning. You might as
well decide to laze on the beach in the afternoon, cooled by the
balmy breeze under the shade of the coastline trees. Surely you will
enjoy then to go for a walk along the shore, enjoying the peace, the
silence and the beauties of the island, contemplating the enchanting
colors of the scenery at the end of the afternoon.
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. Combined, Koyao Bay Pavilions offers a rare

flooring throughout, dark tropical woods, and naturally tinted lime
plasters providing a range of smooth ocres and yellows...
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.
