With just 19 villas cantilevered on the hills above Ao Yon bay on Phuket's southeastern tip, this straight-lined and high-ceilinged retreat is a bijou hideaway that's big on service and views. Each of its sun-flooded villas, some with multiple bedrooms, is hugged by a private infinity pool long enough for laps and appointed with a butler on call for boating excursions, spa reservations and floating breakfasts (if that's your jam). The main restaurant, YON Beach House, serves a Thai-European medley of tuna tartare, tiger prawn-topped noodles, and squid ink risotto. And even if you're not sleeping over, the lounge-y, daybed-dotted rooftop bar is worth a stop for the spectacular sunsets alone.
