SENSE AND SENSIBILITY

There is nothing quite like a speedboat transfer to let you know you are arriving somewhere special. Relaxing on a daybed the colour of Thai limes, we are whisked across the water from Phuket’s Ao Por Grand Marina to Six Senses Yao Noi. The resort’s teak villas curl down the jungled hillside as if they had grown out of their surroundings and the butler who greets us has a bright pink uniform the exact shade of the bougainvillea that blooms all around the property.
