Islands: Six Senses Yao Noi, Phuket & Khao Lak, Thailand

For a rustic escape in a sublime location, treat yourself to a soothing stay in Six Senses Yao Noi, a boutique retreat set on castaway Yao Noi island near Phuket. Perched on a cliffside, with beautiful views over Phang Nga Bay's limestone pinnacles, the resort's 56 palm-leaf roofed teak villas feel like plush log cabins or treehouses, but come with pampering personal butlers. Drink in the verdant vistas from the infinity pool or sip a mojito in the sultry Den lounge. Later retire to the Six Senses Spa in a traditional long house for holistic Thai treatments.
