[2025 Koh Yao Yai Stay] Travel Guide for Santhiya Koh Yao Yai Resort and Spa (Updated Apr)

I've been to Phuket so many times because of their beautiful surroundings islands. Usually I will stay at the hotel around Phuket town. But this time around I wanted to stay somewhere in the islands itself so we randomly booked Santhiya Koh Yao Yai with a good deal. I took about almost and hour boat ride to reach the resort. All the bumpy rides definitely paid off when we reach the resort. So so beautiful fully wood crafted all over the resort. You can even smell the woods 😅. The swimming pool is soooooo pretty, the room OMG like living in the Thai palace. I love it. My family enjoy it. #100WaysOfTravel #travel #familytravel #resorts #seascapes #thingstodo #staycation 📍Address:📍Address:

5-star luxury private staycation accommodation ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Recently, I have seen Thais reviewing Eco accommodation near Phuket Island. If you are exhausted from traveling in Phuket, I recommend booking Santhiya to recharge before returning. There is a speedboat to pick up and drop off from Phuket. It is very convenient. But what I mentioned earlier is a very private vacation with 5-star service. You hardly have to leave your room. In the evening, you can watch the sunset and sip cocktails at the hotel's pier in a romantic atmosphere. Note: When Thais go to visit, sometimes the reception will be foreigners who have to speak English. #SanthiyaKohYaoYai #KohYaoYai #5starhotel #Phuket

Santhiya Koh Yao Yai Resort & Spa Santhiya Koh Yao Yai is a dream resort. Another one of ours. This place is ranked among the top beautiful places in the country. There are so many highlights here that we wanted to stay for several more days. There are many types of rooms. The room we stayed in was the OCEAN VIEW POOL VILLA. The villa is very beautiful. Whether it's the bedroom, living room, dressing room, every part of the villa has a sea view. And from the bedroom, you can walk down to the pool. And another important thing is that this place has a villa that is the first Sea Water Pool in Thailand. There are 6 restaurants here. We like the Sai Thara room because it has a very beautiful view. The teak building has beautiful wood carvings and an infinity pool. And if we talk about romance, #Book a luxury hotel #Koh Yao Yai #Santhiya Koh Yao Yai #Phang Nga Phuket is awesome #Phang Nga attractions #Paradise Koh Yao

ALOHA!!! The weather is good for taking my wife to float in the sea. Not too far, not too far, near "Koh Yao Yai" in Phuket, with the hotel "Santhiya Koh Yao Yai Resort and Spa", luxurious at the price of a soft drink. 🏝🏝 It's a hotel so luxurious that I think I will never be able to take my wife to sleep in a nice place like this in this life. Luckily (my wife) found a promotion during the low season. When I went (May 16-19), I booked from the website for 2,400 baht per night (Double Room With Bay View), with a free half-hour neck and shoulder massage for 2 people, and a 25% discount on food in all restaurants (only for customers staying at the hotel). The normal price is almost ten thousand baht per night. Oh my gosh...~ 😎 Just the view is worth it, so I arranged 3 nights and 4 days to live like my own home. So I took my beloved wife to sleep in luxury and comfort so that she would be able to recover from her complaining disease. But as I said, it's normal to encounter some rain in the low season. But it doesn't rain much. It just sprinkles to cool you down. You can visit here all year round, just like my wife's aging that increases throughout the year and will continue forever..... The resort is decorated in Lanna style, carved teak wood, beautifully arranged. Every angle is great when taking pictures. Thai-style wooden house 🧘‍♀🥊🏋‍♂🛶🏊‍♂ There are many activities in the hotel, such as boxing classes, yoga classes, Thai dancing classes, pool games (pool table), swimming, cooking classes (with a fee), pool parties (there are 3 pools, parties every day, alternating. There is a fee for getting drunk 55), GYM, kayaking, spa, etc. Most importantly, it's free!!! Traveling within the hotel, there is a shuttle bus decorated very cool!! 🍽🍽 Breakfast is the best. There is Egg Benedict that my wife wants to eat. But the best thing is my wife's weight. Complaining about being fat every day, exercising 50 cal, eating 5000 cal, looking in the mirror and saying I've lost weight "Oh my!!!!" 🙄 🛳️ Travel I chose to travel by ferry. I drove because Koh Yao Yai is as big as its name suggests. I boarded the boat at Chian Wanich Pier (only this pier allows cars) and boarded the Yaowa Yai Center boat at 8.30 am. You should call to book a day before going. There are 2 rounds of boats: the morning round that I went and the afternoon round at 2.30 pm. 💸 Fare for a car with a driver is 500 baht. General passengers are 140 baht per person. It takes 1.5 hours from Phuket Pier. And if traveling from Krabi, board the boat at Tha Len Pier. I'm not sure about the boat round. *Additional* But if coming from Phuket Airport, if you don't rent a car, call Grab to take you to "Bang Rong Pier", which is a little bit near the airport. There are many piers in Phuket. The long-tail boat fare is 140 baht and the speedboat is 200 baht per person, approximately. Or if anyone is convenient to pay, you can book directly with the hotel. 900 baht per person I have to give it to Santhinya as my daughter of heaven. #PhuketTravel #SanthinyaKohYaoYai #KohYaoYai #MyWifeTakesMeAnywhere #SouthernTravel #SouthernTeam #SouthernSea

The highlight here, in addition to the natural beauty, tranquility and privacy, is that the resort, including the villas and rooms, is decorated with beautiful golden teak wood carved in the Lanna Thai art style, giving a luxurious and warm feeling. The highlight here is the Seawater Pool Villa, where the water in the private pool is 100% seawater. #WinterSeasideTravel #AccommodationByTheSea

•How to get there - Plane - Van - Speedboat •Tourist attractions - On Koh Yao Yai •Hotel - Santhiya Koh Yao Yai Resort & Spa #WinterSeasideTravel 🌊 But it's a sea where you can see the mountains too ⛄️Everyone tends to travel to the North in the winter, but we think the South is not bad either. Let's book tickets + accommodation and go together. Use our rights to travel together. It's more than worth it. You get discounts on accommodation, plane tickets, and food coupons. This trip, I traveled alone. I had fun planning my trip. I can change my plans anytime.😁 🏖 𝐒𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐲𝐚 𝐊𝐨𝐡 𝐘𝐚𝐨 𝐘𝐚𝐢 🌴 | A 5-star Thai-style resort with pool villas by the famous Andaman Sea on Koh Yao Yai 🧍🏻‍♀️If you come alone, book a large room. ⛵️🌴 Ocean View Pool Villa A pool villa by the Andaman Sea with a Lanna-style design. Golden teak wood carvings are combined with the luxury of the accommodation, making this another destination with a clear resort identity. It made us have to come back and relax from the outside world for a night or two.😉 Santhiya is very famous for its privacy. There are 39 pool villas in total, each with a clear distance from each other. Therefore, during our stay, it was like we were in a private island home. 👉🏻 The room is well-proportioned with wet zones, walk-in closets, bedrooms, living rooms, and infinity pools that flow smoothly with the Andaman Sea as far as the eye can see. Especially when the sun sets, it is incredibly beautiful.🌅 🤎The special feature of the pool in Santhiya's villa is that it makes seawater into a private pool. It is one of the first hotels in Thailand to use this process to take care of its guests because seawater contains minerals that are good for the body. You can play without worrying about your skin getting damaged by chlorine. 🏊🏻‍♀️💦 🌤Spending time alone, knowing what we want, what we like, what we don't like, that's what we want. No need to please anyone, no need to take care of anyone's feelings. 🖤 Smile, laugh at strangers sometimes, eat and go to new places. 🤍Happiness is not the same for everyone. A holiday that doesn't mean staying at home, that's our happiness. #WinterSeasideTravel #TravelAloneTogether #AccommodationReview #AccommodationWithMillionViews #AccommodationByTheSea #AccommodationPhangNga #KohYaoYai #KohYaoYaiSanti #SouthernTeam

This trip is for those who are looking for a place to stay that is not too expensive and has a view worth millions. You can't miss this place. Santiya Koh Yao Yai (SANTHIYA KOH YAO YAI) It is a place to stay with a large area surrounded by trees and the sea in front. Most importantly, if you like Thai-style design and decoration, this place is very charming. No matter which corner of the hotel you look at, it will make your heart warm. It is suitable for couples who want to find a quiet place to be sweet together or go with a group of friends and family. They have a private beach and the restaurant is equally delicious. #Where to go this summer #Seaside trip #Southern team #Our hearts are at the sea #Good atmosphere accommodation #Beautiful swimming pool hotel #Natural therapy

The property was impeccably clean, providing a comfortable environment for our family. Breakfast each morning was a treat, featuring a variety of tasty options that kept everyone satisfied and energized for the day's adventures. The island itself is a gem for families, offering everything we could ask for in a holiday destination. The locals were incredibly friendly, making us feel welcome and at home. The calm sea provided a safe space for our kids to enjoy water activities, and there were plenty of family-friendly attractions nearby. We can't wait to return to this idyllic paradise!

#Get a discount without relying on luck, stay in a Lanna teak house with a view of the small islands in Phang Nga Bay at Santhiya Koh Yao Yai Resort & Spa 🏝 Talking about unique resorts in Thailand that we have stayed at, one of them must be "Santhiya Koh Yao Yai Resort & Spa" for sure. Because the Thai-style houses that are beautifully lined up along the mountainside are considered a signature landscape that is very impressive. Personally, if we are going to relax in Thailand, we like to choose accommodations that have a unique identity like this. The first step we took felt like we were in Chiang Rai. The lobby is a valuable teak house like the palace of the northern king. We forgot that we were on Koh Yao 😆 Another thing that stands out is the magnificence of the teak wood carvings on the balconies of every room. We must say that the craftsmanship is so meticulous that we have to give credit to the carvers. It's really amazing 👍 🚕🚤 Travel: The most convenient way is from Phuket, take a car to Ao Po Grand Marina and then take a speedboat to the resort's private pier. It takes only about 20 minutes.

Love this spa resort so much! Enjoy my 3 days 2 nights staycation there with my sis! Will bring my husband come again 💞 #travel

This resort is amazing for family, nice ambience and vibe. Lots of amenities including kids play area where kids can enjoy for hours. Best part for this resort is the SPA, there are various promotions for couple to relax in the woodsa and enjoy the spa and message by trained Proffesionals. Also this resort offer the villas to stay which include the private pool. Overall amazing experience.

The Santhiya Koh Yao Yai Resort & Spa is very spacious with a lot of activities such as Thai dancing, Muay Thai, island tours, kayaking, paddleboarding, Thai massage, spa, fitness, kids club, cooking classes, yoga, etc. If you're staying, I recommend at least 3 days and 2 nights so you can try a variety of activities. There seem to be 4 restaurants, each with a beautiful view. The rooms are clean, fragrant, and the beds are very comfortable. If you're not booking a private villa, I recommend the upper floors of the 4-5 story buildings, which are close to the central swimming pool and the breakfast room with a beautiful view. We got building 3 which is a bit of a walk, but buildings 4 and 5 are almost no walk at all. The breakfast is quite varied, and the quality, quantity, and taste of the lunch and dinner meals we had at the resort are worth the price. The service is excellent, with every staff member being helpful, smiling, and greeting nicely. I was impressed from check-in to the check-out where they waved goodbye until we were out of sight. I give it a 9/10. I really recommend it to friends. 📍If you want to go to the beach or the fitness center, you need to use the shuttle service because the resort is very large. Overall, I'm very impressed and would love to come back and stay here again.

We were in Santhiya last year. We really loved the resort and enjoyed our vacation. The rooms were clean and beautiful. The service was great as well. The breakfast was amazing and they had various options. The view from our room and where they served the breakfast was fantastic. Overall we enjoyed our stay. There’s nothing I can complain about. We definitely will go back ！

This is definitely the best resort I have ever been to! We stayed in the resort for three days and two nights and the service, view and amenities were all incredible! Once we arrived our room, we were amazed by its scenery. At the balcony, there was an outdoor bathtub and we could enjoy the sunset and the sea view while dipping bath. As Santhiya is located in the woods, we could see wooden structures and miniatures everywhere in the resort which are exquisitely designed. There is an infinity pool located in the resort too. The pool is surrounded by sea view which creates a feeling that we were swimming in the sea without boundary! One of the most relaxing thing is that we could order drinks and enjoy them at the edge of the pool. Both view from the infinity pool and our room is beautiful. It is difficult to choose where should we stay during sunset. The breakfast and dinner buffet is also beyond our expectation! For breakfast buffet, there are a lot of choices and we can enjoy the breakfast by the sea with a five minute session of free massage provided. For dinner buffet, the choice is a bit fewer but the quality is amazing, especially the grilled seafood which is super delicious! Also, the environment is romantic. I can’t describe how much I love this resort and I can’t wait to stay here again in 2024! The price is also reasonable, only 2500 thb (breakfast included) during non-peak season. I hope to be back to Santhiya and I can experience that activities such as Yoga lesson and Thai boxing in 2024! #2024wish
