Detailed Itinerary

Day 1: Arrive in Phuket & Explore the Island

Check into your luxury pool villa overlooking Kata Noi beach

Welcome to Thailand! Touch down in Phuket, the country's largest island. Set on the Andaman Coast, Phuket is known for its powdery beaches, neon nightlife, and world-class resorts. The island is also home to diverse landscapes ranging from dense rainforest to palm-fringed beaches and craggy limestone cliffs.

A driver will whisk you straight to The Shore at Katathani, a romantic adult-only resort. Check into your luxury pool villa, set in a secluded cove overlooking the beach of Kata Noi and surrounded by exotic gardens. Villa highlights include an infinity pool, sunken lounge, and sea views. The award-winning resort also offers a Serenity Spa and various unique dining experiences, including private six-course seafront feasts and candlelit cove meals.

Spend the rest of the day relaxing in your villa, or explore Phuket independently. Start in the historic Old Town with its colorful 19th-century shophouses and Sino-Portuguese architecture. Visit the Baan Chinpracha mansion, a testament to the island's tin mining history, as well as Thai temples, markets, Chinese shrines, and museums.

Day 2: Private Phi Phi & Khai Islands Speedboat Tour

Visit the famous Maya Bay, where "The Beach" was filmed

Today you'll experience the beauty of the Khai and Phi Phi archipelagoes. Take a private luxury speedboat charter just east of Phuket, where you'll hit the cluster of Khai Islands, famed for their unspoiled sands and undeveloped vibe. Laze on the palm-shaded beach, sip a cocktail, or snorkel among pristine coral reefs teeming with marine life.

Continue to the Phi Phi Islands, 25 miles (40 km) east of Phuket, known for their film-worthy beaches and top snorkeling spots. Highlights include swimming and snorkeling at Pileh Lagoon and Viking Cave and visiting Phi Phi Ley's Maya Bay, which served as the setting for the Leonardo DiCaprio movie, "The Beach." Make a stop at Monkey Beach, home to cheeky macaques, or spend time on remote Bamboo Island before returning to Phuket for the night.

Day 3: Free Day in Phuket & Sunset Catamaran Dinner Cruise

Sail the Andaman waters on a sunset dinner cruise
Plan your trip to Thailand
Chat with a local specialist who can help organize your trip.

Today is yours to enjoy Phuket at your own pace. Bask by your resort's spectacular beach-front infinity pools, or take advantage of the on-site yoga and cooking classes. For some real indulgence, book a session at The Shore's Serenity Spa, which offers a range of decadent massages, facials, and a herbal steam bath. For beach time, the soft sands of Kata Noi are right on your doorstep, or you can head farther afield to Phuket's popular Freedom and Nai Harn beaches.

In the late afternoon, board a private yacht for a sunset dinner cruise with views over the flawless Promthep Cape. Watch the sun paint the sky shades of yellow and pink as you sail past Nai Harn, Rawai, and Krating Cape, then anchor up for a delicious barbecue dinner. Afterward, head back to your villa for a final night in Phuket.

Day 4: Ferry to Ko Yao Noi & Settle into the Resort

Ride the ferry to the pristine sands of Ko Yao Noi

Say goodbye to Phuket today and take a ferry 14 miles (23 km) east to Ko Yao Noi. This lesser-visited island is an ecotourism hotspot located between Phuket and Krabi in the azure Andaman Sea and boasts sandy shores, lush mangroves, rubber plantations, and quaint fishing villages. Visitors are drawn to the island for its marine-rich waters that are perfect for snorkeling, as well as diving at Shark Point and King Cruiser Wreck.

A staff member from Treehouse Villas Ko Yao Noi Luxury Beach Resort will meet you at the pier and take you straight to the resort. Check into this adult-only retreat, which offers treehouses set among the jungle canopy and beachfront and hilltop villas, each with its own pool. Soak up views of Phang Nga Bay from the 5-star resort and feast on an authentic Thai dinner at on-site Roots restaurant.

Day 5: Free Day on Ko Yao Noi & Romance in Paradise Experience

Soak up the romance with a candlelit beachfront dinner

Today is yours to spend as you please. Beach hop around Ko Yao Noi or simply relax at the resort. Treehouse Villas offers a range of nature-focused activities, including sea kayaking, mountain biking, and guided jungle treks. Other sports include volleyball and badminton, or you can join a yoga, Batik painting, or Thai cooking class.

Decompress this evening with the Treehouse Villa's exclusive Romance in Paradise experience. Start with a candlelit dinner on the beachfront accompanied by sparkling wine, then return to your rose-petal-adorned villa for an intimate evening. You'll indulge in a two-hour couple's massage at the Serenity Spa, complete with a herbal steam cave session and a refreshing dip in the waterfall pool.

Day 6: Relax & Refresh Paradise Spa Experience

Relax and refresh with an aromatherapy massage

Pamper yourself today with a Relax and Refresh Paradise experience at the resort's Serenity Spa. Spend some time in the herbal steam room and plunge pool while your open-air sala is prepared, then lay back for a one-hour aromatherapy massage overlooking the tranquil waterlily pond. Continue your session at the beach with a 30-minute neck and shoulder massage followed by a rejuvenating yoga class. Enjoy a final Thai feast and a peaceful evening in your luxe treehouse.

Day 7: Return to Phuket, Depart

Head back to Phuket to catch your onward flight

Today your Thailand beach break comes to an end. Take a boat back to Phuket, followed by a private transfer to the airport in time for your homebound flight. Safe travels!
