With pristine beaches with piers for ferries and long-tail boats, waters that are rich in coral and dotted with dive sites, and local culture of small fishing villages and authentic life, visitors can enjoy a taste of “real” Thailand. The island is a secluded refuge that feels far removed from the bustling tourist crowds of Phuket; it offers a retreat from modern life and an opportunity to enjoy a slower pace, or activities include kayaking, hiking, snorkelling, and swimming. Perched only 50 minutes from Phuket International Airport by car and speed boat. It takes 30 minutes from the airport to Ao Po Grand Marina Pier and 20-minute boat ride from Ao Po Grand Marina Pier to reach this ultra-gracious retreat. The journey there makes it all worth it: based on location alone, it should be swarming with tourists. And yet its not. Nestled in Phang Nga Bay, this area sees visitors enjoy mysterious caves, lagoons and jutting cliffs, as well as abundant wildlife. Most of the islands in Phang Nga Bay are uninhabited, and many of them have spectacular caves which you can only reach by kayak. Koh Hong is one of the most popular of these islands, while Khao Khien is worth a visit to see the ancient paintings of boats and animals on the rock walls. From the stylish base of a luxury eco beach resort, enjoying a prime position on the west coast of the unspoiled Koh Yao Yai, it is the perfect place for pampering and revitalisation.
