I don't write lengthy reviews very often but this resort offers an island getaway like no other. It is located on Yao Noi, a 40 minute speed boat ride from Phuket and is discretely tucked away on a hillside, with its own beach. The villas are arranged in such a fashion that you have complete privacy, but with the amenities of a 5 star resort. The breakfast buffet was of a high standard, offering plenty of hot and cold food options including pastries cooked fresh on site, fresh juices, eggs from the resorts own chickens and decent coffee. On arrival we were greeted by a dedicated concierge, Zoe who anticipated all our needs - from dinner bookings, tours, picnics, tennis court reservations etc We had a 2 bedroom villa with magnificent views to the islands across the bay. It was very spacious - with our own pool, decks, daybeds, and huge bathroom including an indoor and outdoor shower, and a sunken tub to soak in with views to die for. It really was a gorgeous villa and hard to leave - except for the lovely communal spaces including the hilltop pool and several dining choices for lunch and dinner. Food quality was excellent, local Thai options being our favourite. We tried the free yoga sessions at 8.30am each morning in the open air pavilion, the well equipped fitness centre, we took the complimentary bikes for a spin around the island to sweat off some calories so we could justify another wonderful dinner and the all day, every day free ice creams and sorbet! After 4 days our family (21 years and 16 years) felt so relaxed. Weather was hot and balmy, showery at times. We also booked a half day boat tour to outer islands which was fantastic - hidden lagoons, swimming monkeys and private beach picnics! We left feeling so relaxed and priveliged to have spent time at Six Senses after a former visit some 12 years earlier. Rooms and facilities have all held up very well and the smiling staff are professional, friendly and attentive. Its a 10/10 review from me!
