At the new Yana Villas, the massive infinity pool goes right up to the beach and overlooks local landmark, Khao Takiab mountain, AKA “Monkey Mountain,” with its towering golden Buddha statue. Even the most basic rooms have a cool blend of beachy woods, backlit walls, and sexy in-room bathtubs, while suites come with a private pool or Jacuzzi and pool villas enjoy sea views.
