Smooth Escape: Anantara Koh Yao Yai Adds Krabi Route for Effortless Island Access

Streamlined Access: Anantara Koh Yao Yai Adds Krabi Speedboat Route for Flexible Island Transfers

Anantara Koh Yao Yai Resort & Villas has introduced a scheduled speedboat transfer connecting Krabi’s Thalane Pier with the resort, enhancing accessibility and offering guests a new travel option alongside its existing Phuket route. The 30-minute journey through Phang Nga Bay provides scenic views of limestone cliffs, turquoise waters, and island formations tied to local folklore.

Immersive Travel Experience

Guests begin their island escape with a route inspired by the mythical Naga serpent, believed to have shaped the scattered islets of Phang Nga Bay. Along the way, the boat ride offers cinematic vistas that reflect the region’s natural beauty.

Gateway to Exploration

The resort serves as a starting point for discovering the Andaman’s dramatic landscapes. Guests can join the “Scene Unseen” yacht experience to explore film locations from Jurassic World: Rebirth and Alien: Earth, with stops at hidden beaches and sea caves. Onshore excursions include visits to the Tiger Cave Temple, Emerald Pool, hot springs, and renowned islands like Hong and James Bond Island.

“With the new Krabi route, we offer guests more flexibility to explore the Andaman region while enjoying a peaceful island retreat,” said Stuart De San Nicolas, General Manager, Anantara Koh Yao Yai Resort & Villas.

Krabi Speedboat Transfer Schedule

Private land transfers from Krabi International Airport to Thalane Pier can be arranged with 48 hours’ notice.
