We had the opportunity to interact with the friendly locals, learning about their traditions and way of life. Each day brought new adventures and unforgettable moments, weaving a tapestry of experiences that will forever be cherished.

Paradise Koh Yao: A Tranquil Oasis in the Heart of Nature

Paradise Koh Yao, a member of Serenata Hotels & Resort Group, is nestled on the serene island of Koh Yao Noi in Phang Nga province. While Koh Yao Noi itself exudes tranquility, Paradise Koh Yao takes it a step further, enveloped by a lush expanse of protected forest. This secluded haven boasts its own private pier and fleet of boats, offering guests a seamless journey from Yacht Haven Marina, a luxurious yacht haven in Koh Kaew, Thalang district, Phuket. Situated just a 20-minute drive from Phuket International Airport, Paradise Koh Yao provides an unparalleled escape into the embrace of nature.

The first day's sky wasn't very conducive to our journey. The sky was overcast as if there was going to be a storm (yes, we were traveling during the Green Season when it rains more often than usual). But the sea was calm and windless today, so we could set off…. From the Yacht Haven pier, we traveled by speedboat with two engines provided by the hotel. We left at 11:00 a.m. and again at 4:00 p.m. (if you want to get the most out of it, I recommend the morning round). Along the way, the boat sailed past beautiful island views. In less than an hour, we reached the hotel's private pier, where a light rain had been falling for some time, as if to welcome us. It soon stopped, and the fog that had formed from the rising earth mist from the forest surrounding the hotel.

Though the rain has stopped, the sky remains a gloomy gray. Personally, I find the cool air pleasant, a welcome respite from the heat. The sea is calmer than I expected. I inhale deeply, filling my lungs with the mingled scents of earth and salt. As I exhale, it feels as if the fatigue accumulated from work is expelled with each breath.

Low-hanging clouds after the rain brushed against the mountain range in the middle of the sea ahead. We sat on the wet seats from the rain, to spend 4-5 minutes with this kind of atmosphere.

The hotel invited us to tour the various rooms, and we were pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere. The first room was a show unit that was not yet open for sale, but we thought it was stunning. The villa was divided into two levels, with a private relaxation area with a jacuzzi on the lower level and a bathroom with a stylish bathtub on the upper level. The pastel color scheme was beautiful and well-coordinated, and the use of wood and plants in the materials and decor created a very relaxing atmosphere. We couldn't help but urge them to open it as soon as possible.

The hotel currently offers five types of rooms for booking:
1. Superior Studio
2. Jacuzzi Studio
3. Plunge Pool Deluxe Studio
4. Pool Villas
5. Hill Top Villas

Superior Studio & Jacuzzi Studio

The room we stayed in was a Jacuzzi Studio, which is identical to the Superior Studio but with the addition of a jacuzzi for a more private and luxurious experience. The room size is comparable, and it doesn't feel cramped. There's a balcony where you can relax and enjoy the fresh air. I particularly enjoyed sitting outside in the cool morning and evening air.

#PlungePoolDeluxeStudio
This room is perfect for those who love stunning views. We love this room because the view is more than worth it. It's not too close or too far from the sea, beach, pier, and islands that surround it. We'll save it for next time... We booked this room.

#Sunrise at Koh Yao Noi
We have plenty of time to relax, so if you want to wake up early one day to see the sunrise at Koh Yao Noi, do it. It's really worth it. Just step out of your bedroom and walk to the beach in front of the hotel, and the first orange-red light will appear. (1 of the 3 things to do at Koh Yao Noi is done.)

Despite the numerous clouds obscuring the sun, its light still managed to penetrate, casting an ever-changing array of colors. I have lost count of the countless photographs I captured.

From red to orange and gold.

At this moment, only the sound of breathing, the beating of hearts, and the click of shutters can be heard.

The joy was so overwhelming that the drowsiness from waking up early was completely gone.

The Enchanting Hornbills: A Morning Spectacle

The question of whether the morning hours are a prime foraging time for hornbills remains unanswered. However, for early risers like ourselves, it was a delightful reward to witness numerous hornbills gracefully descend and perch upon the nearby trees, offering us the opportunity to observe and photograph them at close range (a mere few meters away). This second mission, to collectively admire the hornbills during the morning, proved to be an immensely joyful experience.

A Delicious Breakfast

As the morning light faded and the hornbills sang their songs, the rumbling of my stomach grew louder. At 7 am, the hotel breakfast was ready in the beachfront dining room. The buffet offered a wide variety of options, with a particular focus on local dishes. Highlights included nasi lemak, stir-fried noodles, sticky rice parcels, and various sweet sticky rice desserts. Notably, pork was absent from the menu, except for bacon, as Koh Yao Noi is predominantly Muslim and 90% of the staff are local. While I couldn't possibly try everything, the dishes I sampled were enough to keep me full throughout the day.

Lush Poolside Oasis

The resort boasts a shared swimming pool accessible to all guests, regardless of their room type. Nestled amidst the shade of verdant trees, the pool offers a refreshing escape just steps away from the beach. Guests can indulge in a leisurely swim, soak up the sun, or simply relax by the poolside with a refreshing beverage, all while enjoying the tranquil ambiance of the surrounding greenery.

Sandy Beach and Tranquil Sea

The hotel boasts a wide sandy beach right in front. Today, the waves are calm, and everything moves at a leisurely pace, as if time itself has paused.

Tiny white waves gently lapped against the shore, their rhythmic sound stirring the heart.

Even the long-tailed boats that run to take tourists to the city, we see them as if in slow motion.

Everything seemed to stand still. All we could hear was the sound of our own breathing as we tried to fill our lungs with air.

#Sunset Bar and Smiles
As dusk approaches, even without a visible sunset, the twilight glow remains faintly visible on the horizon. Refreshing, colorful drinks are ordered from the beachfront bar, accompanied by the laughter, camera clicks, and smiles of friends on this trip.

The hornbill must have bid us farewell for the last time before we departed the next day. No need to worry, we will surely meet her again.

We capture every second of happiness.
Listen to the voice your heart desires... not the voices of others.
Then move your body to the rhythm of your heart here at
Paradise Koh Yao.
