Destination island tours in Thailand

The difference between those who choose to visit the treehouse villas is their deep understanding of the environment, nature and the luxury prospects in a secluded virgin space. They were driven by the sense of discovery and they did not go much. They chose to be pathfinders and share their findings with their friends and loved ones. Their beauty, style and sense of complexity encompass their daily lives, including their desire to contribute in a way that is sustainable and a carbon-free world.

KOH YAO NOI

Accessible only by boat, the small rustic island getaway of Koh Yao Noi, the “Little Long Island”, is located roughly an hour boat ride away from the popular tourist destinations of Phuket and Krabi. The smaller of the two Koh Yao islands, this ideally retreat is one of the last remain local islands in the region to remain largely unspoiled by mass tourism. With a large portion of the island dedicated to national parkland, Koh Yao Noi is a perfect retreat for those looking to escape the crowds of Phuket and Krabi.

TreeHouse Villas is located in the remote northern tip of the island. A small winding road through the national parkland connects the resort to the more populated area center and southern areas of the island, but the easiest method for reaching the resort is by boat. The resort does provide transfers to and from Phuket and Krabi or for the more travel savvy and adventurous, guests can organize their own transportation to the resort through taxi’s and ferries. In an effort to keep economic benefits localized the resort does not organize pick-ups from the Koh Yao Noi’s local ferry terminal and would recommend using one of the 4x4 SUV taxis found close by to bring you that last step to the resort.

Public Transport

TreeHouse Villas is accessible by a series of taxis and public ferries. Scheduled ferries run frequently from Phuket and Krabi to two terminals on Koh Yao Noi. From these terminals, a negotiated price with a local SUV Taxi can then take you the last leg of the trip to TreeHouse Villas in the north of the island. Alternatively, local longtail boats can be hired to transport you directly to the pier at the resort.

Local Taxi and longtail boats provide an interesting way to get around the island, Koh Yao Noi, and help support the local community but these local routes are not for everyone. Ferries can tend to be overcrowded and may not be up to some travellers' expected comfort levels. The roads on Koh Yao Noi can vary from paved to unmaintained jungle trails.

GETTING HERE

In the interest of the safety for our guests and staff, boat trips will not operate at night. The operating hours for our speedboat transfers are from 8:00am to 5:00pm. Due to these restrictions, our pick-ups by limousine and minibus from the Airport/Hotel operate between 6:00am and 4:00pm. Please note: if your flight arrival time is after 4:00pm, we suggest you book accommodation in Phuket or Krabi. We can pick you up directly from the hotel/resort you stayed at the following day.

*immigrations and baggage collection may take 1 hour at the international airports.

Weather also plays a large factor in the safety of the speedboat operation. The final decision to run the transfer is with our responsible captains in charge. It is rare that bad weather sets in for long periods of time. In the event that poor weather prevents the transfer to the resort, Paradise KohYao can help arrange accommodation with hotels of similar standards in Phuket/Krabi.
