From the serene stretches of sand in Phuket and Koh Samui to the lush northern landscapes of Chiang Mai, Thailand offers a wide range of experiences for couples looking for a romantic and relaxing escape. I’ve put together this list of my top picks for honeymoon resorts in Thailand so that you can skip the research and get straight to planning your dream getaway.
1. Six Senses, Koh Yao Noi
Starting off the list is one of my all-time favorite resorts, Six Senses. Tucked away on the island of Yao Noi, this property is the definition of a blissful escape. Incorporating both natural beauty and high-end comfort, the resort sets itself apart as a sanctuary of opulence and privacy.
Overlooking Phang Nga Bay, each villa boasts its own private pool, a plush king-sized bed, inviting sitting areas, and a spacious bathroom complete with a tub and outdoor shower. The overall design, featuring rich, dark woods accented with vibrant orange, is carefully chosen to complement the natural surroundings while maintaining a feel of understated luxury.
One of the biggest highlights of this resort is the personalized service each guest receives. Upon arrival, you’ll be introduced to your own butler, who is dedicated to making your stay absolutely flawless. Your butler can take care of all the details— from arranging romantic dinners and spa appointments to personalized day trips so that you can truly relax and enjoy your vacation.
2. Santhiya, Koh Yao Yai
Located on the island of Yao Yai, just south of Yao Noi, is the eco-luxury resort of Santhiya.

Recent guests rave about the property, with one saying they were “blown away by a beautiful destination that will transport you into [a traditional Thai] fantasy.” Plus, the staff at the resort are incredibly welcoming and helpful.
