Koh Yao Yai: The Andaman Sea’s New Hidden Diving Gem

Koh Yao Yai is fast becoming one of the most exciting new dive destinations in the Andaman Sea. Its central location makes it an ideal departure point for exploring nearby dive sites, while offering easy access to both Phuket and Krabi airports.

This unspoilt, tranquil island remains largely untouched by mass tourism, providing a relaxed atmosphere with wild, serene beaches and a laid-back vibe. There are no parties here—just peaceful surroundings, great food, and a chance to unwind.

Getting to Koh Yao Yai is simple, with regular public boats offering convenient transport from both Phuket and Krabi.
