It has a good selection of accommodation; from the lovely studios to stunning beach-front villas with private pools. Starting with its superior studios - the rooms have air conditioning, wi-fi, semi-outdoor bathrooms, and an open Sala living area with swing.

The pool villas have private access to the beach, a private pool and Jacuzzi, extensive outdoor living area with private bar, uninterrupted views over Phang Nga Bay and a tropical semi-outdoor bathroom with private shower.

The Facilities
The main restaurant of the Paradise Koh Yao is nestled in a covered area among palm and coconut trees with additional seating on the open beach, looking out on to Phang Nga Bay. It offers a good selection of Thai and Western cuisine as well as an extensive variety of fresh seafood. The "Al Fresco" Restaurant is also located right on the beach with additional seating in the sand under the shade of palms and coconut trees. It is a relaxing, casual restaurant with a pizza oven. The resort also has a bar and pool bar.
Guests can enjoy 400 meters of pristine sandy beach where the clear, clean waters of Phang Nga Bay gently break on the shore. One of the main nearby attractions is the lime stone rock formation at the north end of the beach. These dramatic cliffs are common throughout Phang Nga Bay.
