Koyao Bay Pavilions,17/11 Moo.4 Koh Yao Noi A. Koh Yao Phang Nga, Phang-Nga, Khao Lak

In keeping with what we believe to be the future of tourism on this island,  the new Koyao Bay Pavilions will open its arms to its first guests in November 2005.  For a year now, a lot of thought and efforts have gone into creating this exclusive "get away from it all" resort which will absolutely appeal to the new generation of intelligent travelers.

Nestled between the natural shoreline, paddy fields and forest hills, Koyao Bay Pavilions opens directly to 250 meters of sandy beach and onto the spectacular panorama of Bileh's islands.

Here, we trust in a tradition style of hosting, simple and elegant surroundings, where you can practice the art of relaxing minds and bodies.  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.

Fringing the Andaman sea, 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.

The design of the pavilions was inspired by traditional architecture throughout South East Asia :  thatched and wooden roof structure in order to allow the breeze to pass through on balmy nights, wood 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.  In the back of the property, our rice paddies extend up to the hills surrounding the valley.

The kitchen opens to the restaurant room, and your are most welcome to watch our chef preparing the meals and ask her everything you want.  Cuisine courses can be organized if you want.  We grow our own rice at the back of the property.

Apart of original Thai cuisine made of the best products (it become more and more difficult to find it in tourist areas) we serve simple yet excellent Mediterranean cuisine, taking advantage of the excellent sea products available on the island (shrimps, crabs & lobsters, groupers and snappers, trevallies...).  Choose the best possible wine from our house cellar to accompany your meal.

Afternoon tea (local cookies, rice and banana cakes) is served at the clubhouse and breakfast and meals will be served in your own sala if you wish so.  Tropical fruits at your disposal at anytime in rooms and restaurant areas: please make yourself at home.  Beach barbecues can easily be organized.
