Cape Kudu Hotel, Koh Yao Noi

At Cape Kudu Hotel on Koh Yao Noi, life slows down the moment you arrive – whether it’s by speedboat or longtail boat. Perched above Phang Nga Bay, the infinity pool is made for lounging with a cocktail from the Long Island Bar in hand. When you're not swimming or kayaking, head to the Hornbill Restaurant for Thai dishes under the trees, or relax in the Reading Room with a book and fresh fruit. This is what island life is all about.
