|Jan 2023
The breathtaking ÀNI Private Resort in Thailand is situated on the east coast of Koh Yao Noi, which means "Small Long Island."
-

It is one of 42 islands in the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Phang Nga Bay, and it prides itself on being a beautiful place to gather and spend quality time with loved ones. The resort is equidistant from Phuket to the west and mainland Krabi to the east.
Getting There
The journey from Dubai International Airport to Phuket Airport takes about six hours. Arriving guests are greeted by a team from the resort, and the luxury experience begins at the airport, with cars equipped with wi-fi and refreshments on hand to whisk you to the Ao Po Grand Marina. From there, speedboats filled with tropical fruits, drinks, and local foods take you on a scenic 30-minute trip to the destination, where the small island community meets guests with flowers and warm greetings.
Accommodation
Positioned across the resort are two ocean-view villas, two family villas, and four pool suites. Featuring spacious bedrooms with vaulted ceilings, they offer large bathrooms and dressing areas. The Ocean Villas and Pool Suites provide spacious outdoor terraces with double daybeds and views overlooking the bay. ANI private resort is designed exclusively for a single group of guests each time.
