Santhiya Koh Yao Yai Resort and Spa

The authentic design of the resort truly reflects the local culture, creating a warm and inviting ambiance. Every corner of the property exuded charm, from the beautifully crafted wooden structures to the vibrant decor that celebrated Thai heritage. If you're looking for a peaceful getaway with stunning views, engaging activities, high quality Thai food, and exceptional service, look no further. I can't wait to return!

This island is magical! The service is second to none. The bars, the buffet was delightful, the accomodation is avant-garde yet caters to a higher end crowd. The private boat ride to the island and the arrival at the jetty is going to leave an indelible imprint in my memory ! The reef and fish are just below the jetty and there is the opportunity to see reef crabs. The resort is truly magical, a must find, a must see and something to be treasured. Those who love movies like the Beach, Jurassic Park, Deep Blue Sea, anything acquatic and that meets nature and natural palms could get lost on this island for days. Thr rooms are too creative and luxurious to describe, a must see, subject to availability. Thank you for the privacy, the luxury, the food and drinks and the kind hearted service of the Thai people. With the greatest appreciation

Perfect vacation! clean room, nice staff, good vibes

Nice location with a good view. Only downside: could not find a good espresso in any of the restaurants or bars.

Another amazing stay here. Our 8th time at this resort. It’s just fabulous.

My experience at Santhiya Koh Yao Yai was absolutely wonderful and exceeded all expectations. 1. Tranquil Location & Stunning Views: The resort is incredibly peaceful, with a breathtaking location surrounded by nature. The scenery is simply amazing — a perfect escape from the noise and crowds. 2. Beautiful & Quiet Rooms: The room was calm, beautifully designed, and offered stunning views. The private pool made the experience even more enjoyable. 3. Outstanding Staff: Most of the staff were exceptionally friendly, kind, and went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. Their warmth really made a difference. 4. Minor Issue with Restaurant Credit: There was only one issue during my stay — a misunderstanding with a restaurant staff member regarding the use of the resort credit. Unfortunately, the management handled it poorly by calling in the waiter to prove I was wrong. This approach was unprofessional and left a negative impression, which contrasted with the otherwise excellent service. 5. Amazing Restaurant Experience: The food at the resort was outstanding — delicious, healthy, and with plenty of variety to suit every taste. 6. Fast & Efficient Transportation Within the Resort: The internal transportation service was impressively responsive. On one occasion, I called for a buggy and they arrived even before I hung up the phone! 7. Highly Recommended: I strongly recommend this resort to anyone seeking luxury, relaxation, and a unique experience surrounded by nature. Final Note: I would only advise the management to train the front desk staff to handle situations more gracefully. One negative moment should not overshadow the hard work and excellence of the rest of the team.
