Looking for a quiet vacation on a peaceful island in the Andaman Sea? Look no further than the beautiful Koh Yao Noi, a quiet fishing village just 30 minutes from Phuket and Krabi. Please excuse our exhaustion in this video- this was the night after one of our wedding parties!

Cape Kudu is a new property on Koh Yao Noi, bringing down-to-earth luxury to the small island. We stayed at Cape Kudu prior to our wedding and absolutely loved the style, decor and location of the hotel. Each room felt like a perfect little home in Cape Cod, with it’s whitewashed walls and comfortable beachy furniture. Our favorite feature was the swinging chair on the balcony, overlooking the ocean. Just wait til you see the view!

We did dine at the their onsite restaurant for both breakfast and dinner and thoroughly enjoyed the offerings. While you are paying a bit of a premium, given that it is a luxury hotel, it was worth the price. One thing we learned in Thailand, though, is to go with the slow service ;). Things move a little slower when you’re on vacation! The location of the property affords it easy access to tours as well as the opportunity to explore the quaint island of Koh Yao. Guests can rent motorbikes to drive around the island, or relax by the property’s pool.
