15 Best Hotels in Phuket, Thailand | Condé Nast Traveler

"Reached by a 45-minute speedboat ride from Phuket and set on go-slow Koh Yao Noi, this resort fully delivers on the ultimate bamboo-hut-in-the-jungle fantasy. Its 56 villas are hidden on jungle-covered slopes and bays along the island’s sunrise-facing east coast, with thatched roofs, bedposts fashioned from sun-bleached driftwood, and expansive indoor-outdoor lounges built from reclaimed teak, creating a Jungle Book–chic atmosphere that never feels rough. Even the entry-level villas come with private pools, and the all-natural spa packs in a juice bar, smart-tech wellness screenings, and a blend-your-own-massage-oil alchemy lab. An all-day ice cream counter dishes out flavors like jackfruit, basil-lime, and mango, and in keeping with the Six Senses focus on sustainability, guests are encouraged to tour the resort’s organic farm and recycling center to see its green ethos in action." - Chris Schalkx, Hannah Summers
