Koh Yao Noi is located in Phang Nga Bay between Phuket and Krabi. National Geographic ranked Koh Yao Noi as one of the 6 Wild and Beautiful Places to Practice Yoga. Koh Yao Noi remains a hidden gem in Thailand and all of Southeast Asia – an island largely undiscovered by mainstream tourism with pristine beaches, friendly locals, and outstanding natural beauty. Koh Yao Noi is really the perfect retreat hideaway.

With plenty of time between classes, you will discover the islands customs, culture, adventures, and cuisine. You can cruise the spectacular Phang Nga Bay, ride around the island by bike or scooter, get a massage, or take a Thai cooking class.

Island Yoga is located on a beautiful beachfront on Tha Khao bay. Koh Yao Noi’s beaches are heavily affected by changing tides, so we recommend you check the tide timetable on our noticeboard to check when is a good time to go for a dip! As well as the picturesque beach right on your doorstep, our staff can direct you to several secret, secluded bays on the island which are perfect for swimming at any time.
