The Paradise Koh Yao

The Paradise Koh Yao, Boutique Beach Resort and Spa is set in the middle of Thailand's Phang Nga Bay National Reserve area, an emerging hidden treasure which remains one of the world's best kept secrets. Since its discovery by a western traveler back in the 19th century, this geological wonderland teeming with indigenous plant and animal life has captured the imagination of the world.

Phang Nga Bay’s towering limestone crags never fail to stimulate speculation of massive geological upheavals in ancient times. It is visually stunning to say the least and yet there is so much more below the surface: under the azure crystal waters are coral reefs, living fortresses evolved over countless years.

Koh Yao Island is set into the heart of these incredible natural phenomena.

“The Paradise” is a subtle blend of boutique beach resort and health spa; a tasteful and simple symbiosis of nature, comfort and style, amongst protected national parkland. Private villas and studios nestle adjacent to 400 meters of private untouched beach providing year round natural luxury.

tropical spa
Our tropical outdoor spa uses only natural herbal ingredients in its herbal steam sauna or during individual massage therapy or treatments. Guests enjoy our spa treatments on sala set into the hillside overlooking Phang Nga Bay.

The Paradise Spa rock fits in perfectly with the tropical feeling of the resort and serves as an excellent landmark— it’s easy to find the spa! With the steam room integrated in the rock, you will experience a unique Thai Herb Steam Treatment. The Waterfall with the Rock-Pool and integrated Jacuzzi complement this unique experience.

Spa rooms are open but covered with roofing. Bamboo curtains are used throughout to provide privacy and preserve the resort’s open feeling.

seafood terrace
The main restaurant of the Paradise resort is nestled between shady trees, right on the beach with a covered area and additional seating out on the open beach overlooking Phang Nga Bay, Southern Thailand. It’s a wonderful tropical setting in which to enjoy outstanding Thai and western cuisine.

As a tropical island resort restaurant, naturally the menu features prominently an extensive variety of fresh seafood accompanied by various sauces and condiments. In addition, there is a large choice of freshly prepared Thai dishes, snacks and salads.

al fresco
The "Al Fresco" Restaurant is also located right on the beach with additional seating in the sand in the shade of palms or coconut trees. It’s a relaxing, casual restaurant presented in a refreshing contemporary style with a pizza oven as special feature near the main seating area. The cuisine is light Mediterranean, from exquisite starters over mouthwatering pasta to real Italian ice cream. And all this with the most stunning view over Phang Nga Bay. Bon appetit....

on the menu
Great pasta and the "Pizza Phang Nga Bay" is loaded with fresh local seafood— it's a real treat.

relax at the pool
Nestled between shady trees, our 350 square meter infinity-edge swimming pool sits right at the beach front. The main pool is another great place to unwind, relax, read a book and it’s a welcome refresher after a swim at the resort beach. There’s a Jacuzzi and bubble bed incorporated into the pool for ultimate enjoyment and as a compliment to the spa. A children’s pool keeps the small ones at ease in shallower water and provides a safe environment. 

unwind at the beach bar
A Mai Tai, cool tunes, the sound of waves rolling onto the nearby shore— sound like a slice of paradise? The beach bar is the place for that late-afternoon cold one. It’s the place to wind down after a tough day of swimming, kayaking and exploring. Or shuffle on down to the beach bar after dinner and enjoy one of our luscious tropical drinks— a pina coloda served in a coconut perhaps.
