Surrounded by the unspoilt beauty of Koh Yao Yai, Anantara Koh Yao Yai Resort & Villas pairs a naturally restorative island setting with new therapeutic wellness treatments and retreats designed to help guests slow down, reset and restore balance.
Anantara Spa at Anantara Koh Yao Yai Resort & Villas has introduced guided breathwork as the starting point for every spa journey, helping guests centre the mind and settle the body before their treatment begins. Drawing on an ancient practice found across traditions including yoga and meditation, the ritual encourages deeper relaxation and creates a more considered transition into the treatment that follows.
The spa’s signature Holistic Abdominal Massage goes beyond simple relaxation. It combines deep breathing to increase circulation and oxygen, particularly in the upper body, with gentle manual manipulation to improve digestive function, ease abdominal discomfort and generally calm the nervous system.
The Naga Martial Massage – inspired by the fluidity of ancient Thai martial arts – similarly harnesses the breath by harmonising long, deep inhalations and exhalations with traditional stretching techniques to release tension, restore mobility and improve flexibility. The treatment is particularly recommended after high-impact Muay Thai or training to speed recovery.
Wellness at Anantara Koh Yao Yai Resort & Villas extends outside the spa, with therapeutic massages such as Tok Sen and traditional Thai techniques accompanied by the natural rhythms of the waves in the resort’s serene beach cabanas. Pool Villa and Penthouse guests can also enjoy sound healing sessions in complete privacy: floating on an inflatable bed in their personal pool, waves of sound act in concert with the water’s natural drift to harmonise every cell in the body, while guided meditation aligns the mind.
“At Anantara Koh Yao Yai Resort & Villas, we take great pride in offering our guests the most restful, restorative of stays,” says Erik Billgren, General Manager of Anantara Koh Yao Yai Resort & Villas. “We are thrilled to introduce these new wellness offerings and unique settings, as our guests can now look forward to even more restoration, returning to their daily lives completely renewed.”
