Commit to a day of no news or social media and just focus on yourself. Today is your day. Stress shuts down the immune system and therefore everything that promotes relaxation is helpful to strengthen immunity.

From breath work and yoga in the sun to nutritious food and microgreens, personal training session, hot and cold experiences, treatments and journaling, we’ve got everything your immune cells need to function at their best.

We can also help you identify specific issues through our screening and sleep tracker so we can guide you on how best to overcome them.

Mind Your Brain
Your brain is involved in everything you do. Its health is vital to how you feel, think, age, perform, love, learn and share. We are all very quick to download the latest software upgrades to our devices but how often do we deliberately consider how we can help our brain serve us better for longer?

This one-day program helps you care for and improve the state of your brain and how it works through ancient practices from yoga and meditation and modern biohacks including brain games, developmental drawings and binaural beats.

Your brain is the fattiest organ in the body, consisting of nearly 60 percent fat so eating the right foods and good fats allows it to perform at its best.

We’ll help you stimulate, and kick start the brain in the morning, share activities that are proven to improve brain function and send you home with some tips to take back into everyday life. Keep curious, keep expanding and keep developing your own OS!

Love Your Heart
“Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit”. Khalil Gibran. Love is a force of nature. However much we may want to, we cannot command, demand, or take away love. But you can invite love in.

By listening to your intuition and wisdom that lies within your heart, you can train and heighten your compassion, awareness and consciousness and feel a much more powerful connection with mother nature and our earth.

This is a day of reflection, letting go of old baggage, setting a new purpose and learning how to connect with your heart and true purpose to find greater zest for life and meaning.

This program is ideal if you want to rid yourself of built up toxins or shake off fatigue that has taken up a regular spot in your daily life.

It’s also worth considering if you find yourself lacking enthusiasm; you’re suffering from symptoms such as bloating, constipation and dull skin; or you simply want to give your digestive system a break and clean out clogged up organs in a natural way.

Discover Yoga
Immerse yourself in a daily practice of hatha yoga to maintain body and mind balance. Relieve stress, tension and muscle stiffness, and keep the body strong, centered, powerful and flexible, while learning to quiet the mind.

Exchange wedding vows and wows
Toast love, laughter and happily ever after against a backdrop of some of the most beautiful natural scenery anywhere in the world.

We can be creative with the ambience, either inside or using the landscaping we’re blessed with. Due to the intimate design of our property, we can accommodate a Thailand wedding of up to 36 guests plus the Bride and the Groom.

Where business unusual thrives
For creative souls, a meeting of minds, or an idea that might one day go on to change the world. Six Senses Yao Noi is about as far away from the corporate humdrum as it gets. We can be creative with the venue: indoor huddles, outdoor presentations or light-bulb moments that happen while you’re two miles offshore.

Memorable times together
Adventures at our Thailand family resort in Yao Noi are designed to create memories. We can plan a host of activities from the purely playful to cultural excursions that even the most hard-to-win-over teen will find fascinating.

From mountain biking as a family to the many water activities that are suitable for almost all ages, let us do the planning for you.

Let the island take you under its spell
Oh the things you can do! From the get up and go to the fully horizontal. Just choosing your leisure possibilities is an activity in itself. On land or in the water, we can even design Thailand excursions and events around your own ideas.

Reconnect With Nature
Start this adventure-packed day with a 30 minute Sunrise Reflection over the limestone karsts, followed by a guided kayak along the beach, turning the rocky point and entering the mouth of mangrove. Ride the tide and connect with the natural sounds and landscape.

You will also have a chance to meet the brood and learn about sustainable living with our happy farm animals. And then it’s time to get your hands dirty and build a Hornbill’s nest. Engrave it with your name so the team can update you when it gets its first tenant.

Have you worked up an appetite yet? After a quick harvest in the Mushroom Hut and organic garden, let’s get cooking! Learn how to cook from scratch using the harvested and local sourced produce.

Phang Nga and James Bond Island

Castaway Excursions
Choose your favorite time of day for your castaway experience. Early morning and the world is yours with a sunrise breakfast cruise.

Krabi Four-Island Region
Discover the popular four islands of Thailand’s celebrated Krabi Province and take a stroll down the famous sand bar that connects them. There’s a startling world of marine beauty. You’ll observe fish and coral in the crystal clear waters just off the beach. Splash around in the warm waters and let the gentle sea relax you.

Discover Yao Noi
Circumnavigate the island of Yao Noi and explore deserted islands with fine white sandy beaches. Learn about the island’s local fish farm economy, visit coconut farms and rubber tree plantations. This is Koh Yao Noi at its finest.

Nature’s Bike Trail of Pure Serenity
This guided bike voyage takes you off the main roads to paths less traveled on the island. You will enjoy a scenic and tranquil tour of an assortment of the island’s well-kept secrets.

Mounted on trekking bikes, you’ll cruise along secluded side roads adorned with arching rubber trees, grazing water buffalo and stunning vistas of the sea. On the journeys, you will observe local plantation workers harvesting rubber by hand, the original method for such production.

Closer to the beach, observe Islanders tinkering with what is the pride and joy for many, the longtail boat. A signature aspect of marine life in Thailand and a most romantic option for touring the myriad islands adjacent to our resort, the longtail boat is inextricably linked to island locals and their humble, noncommercial way of life.

At low tide our journey continues to a small island only 1,640 feet (500 meters) from the Yao Noi coast. That means if the tide is right we will cycle to a different island. Trek through the sand and observe wild oysters on the rocks – this unique paradise is only 1.5 miles (2.4 kilometers) from the resort.

Following an invigorating 2.5 miles (4 kilometers) ride, continue to the renowned Haad Yao Beach. Shaded and secluded, this Yao Noi must-do is only accessible by bicycle or on foot. We highly recommend sharing this journey with a guide as it is the surest way to see the untouched side of Thai island life.

Visit a Rubber Tree Plantation
The south of Thailand is renowned for its rubber production and Six Senses Yao Noi was actually built on an abandoned rubber tree plantation.

Locals still cultivate the trees by hand cutting and collecting the rubber in coconut shells tied to the trunks. Your experienced guide takes you to see how the rubber is collected, rolled into sheets then left to naturally dry along bamboo poles.

Mangrove Walk
Below the Living Room lies a unique feature of Six Senses Yao Noi – the mangrove walk. Take a stroll and spot red mangrove trees, cork trees and Nipa palm trees.

Observe the mudskipper fish and keep an eye out for our resident giant monitor lizards often seen relaxing in the trees. These creatures are awe-inspiring but harmless and will scurry into hiding when disturbed.

Fish and Lobster Farm Visit
Visit a local floating fish farm by classic longtail boat and select your own fresh catch for our chefs to prepare back at the resort. You may enjoy your fresh catch cooked just the way you like it in the Living Room, Dining Room, or even as a barbecue dinner in the comfort of your own villa.

Waterski, Wakeboard and Doughnut
Looking for a boost of adrenaline after all the rest and relaxation? We have a lot of kit here suitable for both first timers and seasoned pros.

With water skis, a wakeboard or a doughnut, fun is guaranteed. Our watersports team can suit you up and run you through the basics or master more advanced techniques. We also loan out mono-skis to more adept athletes.

Windsurfing
Our location on the leeward side of the island results in gentle winds that enable youto practice this exciting activity in relative safety.

Marvel at the vibrant marine communities of the Andaman’s underwater life. Our dive masters know the surrounding areas very well and will guide you to amazing depths.
