Ani Private Resorts Thailand, a Design Boutique Hotel Ko Yao Noi, Thailand

"Located on the unspoiled island of Koh Yao Noi, within two acres (half a hectare) of lush, well-tended gardens, ÀNI offers an entire, all-inclusive, private resort designed exclusively for a single group of guests. With spellbinding oceanfront views, the resort can accommodate up to 20 guests across two Ocean Villas, two Family Villas, each with two guest rooms, and four Pool Suites, and offers direct access to a sandy beach overlooking the turquoise waters and limestone islands of Phang Nga Bay.Designed to maximize the property’s breathtaking views, the resort comprises gracious free-standing structures with distinctive, pointed rooflines inspired by Northern Thailand’s ancient Lanna architecture. The lofty Arrival Pavilion overlooking the resort and its verdant seaside setting is connected via stairs and elevator to the abundance of living and dining areas, the four Pool Suites, and the four Villas set around the vast main swimming pool. Serene and utterly private, all guest accommodations boast vaulted ceilings and large bathrooms, and Ocean Villas and Pool Suites open onto terraces with double daybeds overlooking the bay. Inside, the aesthetic is more contemporary, with Thai teak touches and an elegant palette of textured soft furnishings.ÀNI offers every facility and service a group of guests could possibly desire during their stay. The glass-walled, air-conditioned Living Sala is complemented by an open-sided Dining Sala – both with incredible views of the bay. There is also a double spa treatment room with a jacuzzi and a fully equipped gym. Open-air settings for dining and relaxation include a sunken lounge deck, a rooftop meditation area, the garden, and the beach, while the games area, children’s pool and waterslide, and in-pool chess and backgammon provide hours of entertainment. The resort’s discreet and dedicated team of 22 is available around the clock to tailor every detail – from special dining, cultural, and wellness moments, to kids’ activities and exploration of the region – to ensure a bespoke experience that defies expectations." - My Boutique Hotel
