Naka Island, Phuket

Hidden within lush coconut groves and separated from the emerald sea by golden beaches, the Naka Island boutique resort awaits you. With their own private pool, each of the 67 villas is decorated in a chic Thai style. Effortlessly zen-like the Naka Island will surround you with comfort and warmth. You’ll be perfectly situated to explore this magical corner of the world.

Location

Naka Island is a secluded paradise, only reachable by private speedboat. Just a 25-minute journey from Phuket National airport, you can start enjoying the beautiful scenery and exotic wildlife as you splash your way over to your sanctuary. On arrival, take advantage of the indigenous botanical treatments available at the resort’s Spa Naka. Once you’re feeling completely refreshed, try your hand at kayaking or windsurfing, and for the land lovers, the resort’s culture walk will take you through little fishing villages and off to deserted stretches of beach. The resort concierge will always be on hand to help organize trips for a truly authentic experience. Explore Phuket and other offshore locations and make sure you take some time to see the temples scattered across the island too, such as the wonderfully ornate Wat Chalong.

Your room

Sophisticated and sublime in every way, all of the resort’s villas boast gorgeous indoor and outdoor areas for you to get a bit of rest and relaxation in. All have a white colour scheme to keep the breezy feel from outside, with splashes of blue to reflect the ocean. You can expect never-ending views of the tropical gardens or across the ocean and Phang Nga Bay all the way to the landscapes of the Phuket coastline.

Why we like it

Naka Island lets you take home a little piece of Thailand by offering lessons in authentic Thai cooking. Learn to cook Thai curry from scratch or make a revitalising smoothie using local ingredients and impress friends and relatives on your return.
