Glow Elixir Koh Yao Yai

We stayed 8 nights in late January 2025 and It was a very pleasant stay.We visited the property many times to eat there in 2022 during our stay at another hotel,then decided to come back some day and we finally did it.Private transfer form Phuket airport can be arranged. Our Luxury villa N. 175 located at the last row but with a decent sea view was comfortable and well appointed with an outdoor shower and a big balcony.No bed frame since the mattress was placed directly over an slightly elevated floor where getting out of it could be sometimes a bit challenging.The breakfast is very good with different asian and western options every day,also the food offered during lunch and dinner is very good with all meals served by the sea.The beach is nice,among the best if not the best of the island,specially the northern part, the ambiance is calmed and relaxed surrounded by trees and gardens.Decent gym with two perfectly working treadmills.The staff is very nice and attentive.I did not give a five star review due to a some maintenance issues noticed and the use of plastic bottled water,straws.Surely we will comeback.

Just stay was OK, the staff was very good, the cleanliness was OK, the rest of the experience was so so

Perfect for couples wanting a relaxing holiday situated on a private beach.

Not a swimmable beach

Very relaxing and had a lovely time. The food was delicious, offering beach side tables at the onsite restaurant. The staff was very nice and helped create a wonderful experience

The property is absolutely beautiful! We were welcomed with a cold cloth and small drink by friendly staff. We were upgraded to a beachfront pool villa and the views were absolutely stunning! Somehow the property looks very open, but the pool itself feels private. We had an early (530 am) checkout and the staff came and picked us up in a golf cart directly to the checkout desk where we were handed two boxed breakfasts for our travels. The food at the resort was fantastic. Everything tasted very fresh.

Wir hatten eine Bungalow mit privaten Pool direkt am Strand. Hierzu muss ich sagen das es einer der schönsten Strände war, die zu einem Resort gehören, den wir bisher gesehen haben. Bei Ebbe kann man hier zwar nicht ins Wasser aber dafür gibt es hier ein privaten Pool oder der gemeinsame Pool der aber seine besten Zeiten hinter sich hat. Die Gartenanlage ist sehr gepflegt doch die Häuser haben alle schonmal bessere Zeiten gesehen. In unserem Bungalow gibt es auch diverse Dinge die defekt sind oder nicht mehr gut aussehen. Der private Pool war sauber und gepflegt sowie die eigene Terrasse. Besonders schön ist die Hecke die dem ganzen noch mehr Privatsphäre verschafft. Das Essen wird nicht scharf zubereitet, wenn man dies explizit wünscht. Schön fanden wir die Begrüßung mit einem kalten Tuch und kaltem Tee. Die Massage im Resort war leider einer der schlechtesten die ich je in Thailand hatte und das waren schon einige. Meine Füße wurden vorher nicht gewaschen, es hat sich sehr lustlos angefühlt und die Begrüßung viel leider aus. Würden wir wieder kommen? Das Personal ist mal sehr freundlich und im nächsten Moment völlig desinteressiert und genervt. Wenn man aber Probleme hat wird sich sofort darum gekümmert und selbst der Manager kommt nochmal vorbei und fragt ob nun alles in Ordnung ist. Danke dafür. Wer R uhe und Abgelegenheit sucht ist hier genau richtig. Ca 20 Minuten mit dem Roller findet man auch Läden wie 7-11 und andere Shops. Wenn hier der Reparaturstau behoben ist und

Good stay

Just back from Koh Yao Yai and wow, what a chill spot! This resort is the definition of peaceful – right on a gorgeous beach, and it's so quiet you can hear the waves all day. Everything was super clean and comfy, making it easy to just relax and enjoy the views. The staff deserves a shoutout too. They were always there to help out, super friendly and knew the area inside out. Made my stay smooth and fun. If you're looking for a getaway that's all about unwinding and getting away from it all, this is your place. Can't wait to go back

7 of us stayed at Elixir. We had an fabulous time. The resort was quiet, safe and very relaxing. We enjoyed massages, the restaurant and learning to ride scooters to explore the island. I would recommend Elixir to anyone wanting a relaxing Thai holiday, mostly untouched by tourists unlike other islands. All the staff were very accomodating, especially reception and food and beverage staff who assisted with my partners dietary restrictions.

A beautiful quiet beach front resort with great staff, restaurant and tiki bar!

Amazing as always. This was our third trip, and each time is better than the last. They have made nice upgrades during COVID, and the staff was incredibly warm and helpful. Such a peaceful and relaxing place. It's always quiet even when at capacity, and makes it feel like a private island. Loved the food, massages, rooms. Beach was cleared every morning and the water was perfect at high tide. Would always recommend.

This location is beautiful! It is quiet and relaxed. The food is great, and we had a great time! Would recommend.

A wonderful oasis of calm. Very welcoming staff nothing was too much trouble and delicious food both Thai and western were cooked to perfection The rooms were light and spacious and immaculately clean. And you are right on a private beach with no one trying to sell you anything I look forward to returning.

Elixir is quite amazing! I feel so grateful to have stumbled upon such a gem of a place. It was so peaceful and serene! The beach was beautiful and spotless, the restaurant excellent and fairly priced, the staff helpful and kind. The outdoor shower was amazing and the rain showerhead actually had pressure!! The mattress in the room was too firm for my taste so I had trouble sleeping, and I found it uncomfortable to have to climb into the bed as it is on a raised floor. It looks romantic but wasn’t that practical. But that is the only thing I wasn’t a fan of - everything else was perfect! The island is primitive but the people are so beautiful and sweet! The resort is an oasis. If I ever come back I will splurge on a villa with a private pool - they looked amazing and private!

We've travelled a lot, and this is our favourite place. The room (beachfront private pool) is spacious, clean, beautifully decorated, and the pool and ocean view are incredible. Not to mention the lovely outdoor bathroom. Food and drinks at the resort restaurant are tasty and reasonably priced, the massage service is great, and staff are super friendly and helpful. They booked 2 tours for us during our stay, and they customised the tours per our request so they were exactly what we wanted. This was our second stay here (first time was 2015) and we will definitely be back again!

The resort is blissfully quiet and small and so easy to get to given close proximity to Phuket. The beach is beautiful even though no swimming at low tide. The rooms were lovely. I highly recommend this resort!

So relaxing and quiet with attentive staff and great food

The staff was amazing, service oriented and very friendly. Accommodations were very quiet, clean and comfortable. Their recommendations for tours were also “spot on” and we are looking forward to returning soon.

This is an especially great place to go if you want to get away from the crowds. Great property, nice villas, and friendly staff!
