Six Senses Yao Noi, the 24-acre luxury island jungle nook in Phuket, Thailand, has reopened this week following a month of renovations and improvements to better guest experience.

Each of the resort’s 51 villas have been refreshed and remodeled to meet Six Senses exacting standards, ensuring every level of comfort and luxury to its guests. Much work has also been carried out on the landscape, with exuberant areas of the lush, tropical jungle being moderately groomed to allow for breathtaking views of the majestic lime stone pillars of Phang Nga Bay. Paths around the resort have also been widened and updated, reclaimed from the natural forces of the tropical jungle.

In addition, the Hill Top Reserve at Six Senses Yao Noi, normally a private haven for the rich and famous, royalty and high society, is now open to all its guests as a pool and restaurant oasis. The new Hilltop Reserve restaurant is open daily, serving breakfast, lunch, dinner, drinks and snacks. Dinner is served throughout several locations of the villa: private areas, larger terraces, and around the huge infinity pool facing the most exceptional panoramic views in Asia.

Koh Yao Noi, a picturesque island in Thailand’s Phang Nga Bay, is the unique natural environment setting for the 9.6-hectare, or almost 24-acre, Six Senses Yao Noi. This resort exemplifies the Six Senses philosophy of Redefining Experiences from arrival to departure. The natural vegetation and tropical landscaping provides privacy between the elevated villas. Each Sea View villa offers glorious views over Phang Nga Bay and the Mountain View villas are set in lush tropical forests.
