Top Things to Do in the Area
Boat Trips
There are plenty of things to do on the water. There is of course “James Bond Island”, famous from the film “The Man with the Golden Gun”. Nearby is an entire village, including shops, restaurants and even a mosque floating on rafts. You can go swimming, snorkeling, sunbathing on a remote island, or go for a picnic. We can tailor an excursion with a local long-tail boat to your wishes. Our resident manager will gladly advise you on the options and make the necessary arrangements.
Sight Seeing
If you’re looking to explore the island, you have a few options available to you. You can rent a motor scooter or mountain bike and venture out on your own, giving you the flexibility to explore at your own pace. Alternatively, you could hire a Tuk Tuk, which is essentially a pick-up truck with benches in the back. This can be a fun and convenient way to see the island, especially if you’re traveling with a group.

So happy we had the opportunity to stay here and to explore the island, many adventures to be had followed by a dip in the gorgeous pool to end the day. Thank you so much Suppasin and Saii for your kindness and hospitality.Julie2018-12-25This place is great. Ko Yao Noi is a quiet Island with plenty of the infrastructure that you need with none of the crowds. Saii arranged everything we needed and more. When more friends wanted to add on she found us a nearby villa that they could rent. The villa is located right by Cape Kudu so we ate lots of meals there. Overall amazing!Hermes2018-04-07The best place we saw in the whole island to stay privately. Everything new and they take care of details, you feel it like the home you deserve in the jungle.Melissa2018-03-22WOW! This has to be the best place I've ever stayed. The accommodations far exceeded expectations; the photos do not do the property justice! What we thought was going to be a modest home stay turned into one of the grandest resort experiences. Sai was incredibly helpful, friendly, and kind. I want to live here.Airbnb rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 6 reviews
