$150-250 / natt

Boka detta om You want to sleep in a bamboo 'cocoon' and do yoga at sunrise, not party on a beach.

Varför människor älskar det

  • Unique 'Cocoon' architecture that feels like a treehouse for adults
  • Dead-silent location perfect for deep sleep and creative work
  • Plant-based focused menu that even carnivores admit is delicious

Snabb Överblick: A stunningly photogenic eco-retreat that nails the 'jungle vibe' but fails the 'swimmable beach' test.

Recenserat av @missfernandez__: I spent a week working from this bamboo dome and it completely reset my creativity. The separate office room was a lifesaver for calls, and waking up to that garden view every day felt like a dream. Honestly, it's the perfect spot if you need to get things done in paradise.

The hype

Travelers are obsessed with the unique design and peaceful energy, often calling it a 'spiritual reset.'

Reality check

Guests frequently complain about the lack of a usable beach and the high cost of transport/taxis.

  • You are a digital nomad or creative looking for a quiet workspace
  • You love yoga, meditation, and plant-based food
  • You are comfortable with nature (geckos, insects) sharing your space

Renlighet & Underhåll

9.3
  • Housekeeping: Daily and thorough, though they respect the 'eco' ethos (not changing towels unnecessarily).
  • Bathroom hygiene: Sparkling clean, though open-air designs mean you might spot an ant or two.
  • Maintenance: Excellent condition; the bamboo structures are well-cared for.
  • Linens & towels: Fresh, high-quality, and comfortable.
  • Odors & scents: Smells like fresh jungle air and lemongrass; no musty odors.

Innan du bokar

Bra att veta

  • This is on Koh Yao Noi, NOT Koh Yao Yai (despite similar names).

Vad du ska packa

  • Mosquito repellent (eco-friendly preferred, but bring the strong stuff too)
  • Slip-on shoes for easy on/off at the room and main building

Rum Genie

Bästa val

  • Seaview Cocoon: The signature bamboo dome experience with the best views.

Rum att undvika

  • Garden view units if you want the breeze and ocean sightlines.
  • Lower-level units if you want to avoid foot traffic noise from the path.

FAQ & Dolda tips

Allt du verkligen vill veta innan du bokar.

Is the beach swimmable?

No. It is rocky, shallow, and affected by tides. You need to travel to other beaches like Pasai Beach for swimming.

Is there air conditioning?

Yes, the rooms have air conditioning, which is a luxury for an eco-resort.

How do I get there?

Fly to Phuket or Krabi, take a taxi to the pier, then a speedboat to Koh Yao Noi. The resort offers a transfer service but it is pricey.

Is the food only vegan?

Primarily vegetarian/vegan and highly rated, but they do offer some seafood and meat options.

Is it suitable for kids?

Not really. The terrain is steep, there's no kids club, and the vibe is very adult/quiet.

Is there a pool?

Yes, a saltwater infinity pool with a stunning view of Phang Nga Bay.
