9 HORNBILLS

Koh Yao Noi, a charming and little-developed island between Krabi and Phuket, is now home to 9 Hornbills (9hornbills.com), a sumptuous glamping retreat whose giant safari-style tent villas come in at 108 sq meters—and that’s before you factor in the 108-sq-meter private garden and 28-square-meter swimming pool, price starts at B7,420 per night.

The facilities include big four-poster beds, open-air rain showers, clawfoot bathtubs, minibars and reading areas.

You can head down to the property’s private beach for some kayaking and paddle boarding, sign up for their yoga and meditation classes, or get your adrenaline pumping with some snorkeling, diving and cliff climbing on their three-hour boat trip to nearby islands.
