With a discreet and dedicated team of 22 to fulfill every wish, ÀNI tailors every detail – from special dining, cultural, and wellness moments, to kids’ activities, personal training, and exploration of the region – to ensure a bespoke experience that defies expectations.
Nestled on the untouched island of Koh Yao Noi, ÀNI is a private, all-inclusive resort spanning two acres (half a hectare) of lush, manicured gardens. Designed exclusively for a single group of guests, it offers breathtaking oceanfront views and can host up to 20 guests. The accommodations include two Ocean Villas, two Family Villas—each with two guestrooms—and four Pool Suites, all providing direct access to a sandy beach with stunning vistas of Phang Nga Bay’s turquoise waters and limestone islands.
The resort is thoughtfully designed to make the most of its stunning surroundings, featuring elegant, free-standing structures with pointed rooflines inspired by the ancient Lanna architecture of Northern Thailand. A grand Arrival Pavilion overlooks the resort’s verdant coastal landscape and connects to a variety of living and dining areas, the four Pool Suites, and the four Villas that are arranged around a central, expansive swimming pool. Each guest space features vaulted ceilings, spacious bedrooms, and large bathrooms, blending serene contemporary style with touches of Thai teak. The two Ocean Villas, each with private terraces and double daybeds, are closest to the water, while the two-bedroom Family Villas are set just behind them with shared living rooms. The Pool Suites offer beautiful views of the lawns and sea, each equipped with a small private pool between the bedroom and bathroom, and a double daybed on the terrace.
ÀNI provides every comfort and service guests could desire. The air-conditioned Living Sala with glass walls is complemented by an open-sided Dining Sala, both offering stunning views of the bay. Additional amenities include a double spa treatment room with a jacuzzi, a fully equipped gym, and various open-air relaxation spaces like a sunken lounge deck, a rooftop meditation area, a garden, and beachfront spots. For entertainment, guests can enjoy a games area, children’s pool with a waterslide, and in-pool chess and backgammon. A discreet team of 22 staff members is dedicated to crafting a personalized experience, from special dining and cultural events to wellness sessions and kids’ activities.
Guests enjoy breakfast, lunch, and dinner in diverse settings throughout the resort, with menus tailored to their preferences for a memorable culinary experience. Free-flowing beverages, including juices, premium spirits, cocktails, and wines, are available at any time. Up to 10 daily spa treatments, personal training sessions, non-motorized watersports, guided cycling tours, moonlit movies, Thai cooking classes, and cultural performances are all part of the experience. A complimentary roundtrip airport transfer ensures seamless travel, while up to eight hours of daily babysitting and a dedicated children’s program keep younger guests entertained.
In addition to ÀNI’s extensive offerings, the local team can arrange a wide range of experiences around Phang Nga Bay, handling all logistics for a hassle-free adventure. Guests can enjoy rock climbing, scuba diving, or island-hopping by longtail boat or private yacht. Other activities include art lessons at the ÀNI Art Academies Thailand, Muay Thai training, private yoga sessions, and visits to the Phuket Ethical Elephant Sanctuary.
