NAKA PHUKET

Enjoyed a 5 day stay in this resort. We booked the one bedroom villa and had such a good view of the sea. We were also lucky to get a room where we have good privacy of our pool. Some of the other rooms, guests on the upper level can have a clear view of your pool. Service in the resort was tip top. But you will need to call for their buggy/car service everywhere you go in the resort. However we wished there were better selection of food in this resort. The in room dining menu was limited and after 2 meals, you run out of options. As the resort is tucked away on a cliff, food options at external neighboring restaurants are about 15-20min car ride away. Do note that the resort is 20min away from Patong, and about 40min away from Phuket Old Town. If you would like resting in the resort during your whole trip, this place definitely gives you tranquility. Would definitely consider returning to this place in the future.

the hotel is amazing.. one of the beeeest hotels we have ever been to..we took a private villa with a swimming pool.. we loved it so much..the reception was something we have never seen before.. it is in an open area on the top and you can see the beach and the sunset..i would stay there for hours ! we saw many people come from outside the hotel just to take pictures from the lobby because of the view! the pillows and the bed were soooo comfortable we wanted to buy the pillows but they didnt have extra.. ask for a villa on higher grounds as they have better views.. mine wasnt high it was almost beach level and had beach access but i guess the higher the more privacy and better view.. the beach in front of the hotel is soo calm at night and calming..i really recommend the place for honeymoon

The resort is generously laid out and priorities privacy for each and every villa. The villas themselves were the wow factor for me, superb modernist architecture you don't expect to see in Asia necessarily but it is done so well. Each villa is a steel and glass box encircled with double curtaining in recessed tracks (its all about the details) and loads of polished basalt and light timber to add warmth to the brooding colour palate. The villas were large and well appointed. The family favourite was the private infinity pool adjacent to each villa. It was lined in dark plum coloured Morano glass tiles - again, details. Even the minibar is topped up daily at no charge. Then there's the views from every vantage point. The other facilities and meals from the different restaurants were all of a high standard. Breakfasts were spectacular and generous - among the best we've had anywhere. The staff were superb too, always smiling and helpful quickly learning and anticipating your coffee preferences, drink choices etc. Amazing place.

My husband and I stayed at The Naka during a quick mini-moon getaway right after our wedding. For this short getaway, we were looking for something quiet, private and relaxing - we definitely landed in the right place. The resort itself is architecturally stunning. The design combines my favourite elements - wood, water and glass. The sweeping views of the sea and the mountains from our villa were gorgeous. We were initially booked into a suite but given that we are both long-term SPG customers, we were upgraded to a pool villa. We were also given a honeymoon cake that was incredibly yummy and a bottle of bubbly to celebrate the occasion - thank you! The staff were incredibly friendly and very helpful. We opted to have many of our meals in, this included a private bbq by our poolside. We were very impressed by the set-up and when we couldn't finish all the food that evening, the staff were kind enough to pack for us overnight to be eaten the next day. We spent some mornings wondering around the main pool and the beach. The hotel staff kindly offered life vests and croc-like slippers to go out into the beach for a swim. I found this to be a nice touch despite not asking for these items. Overall, we had a fantastic time. We nipped out to Patong town for massages and street food meals when we felt like it. Ubers and Grabs were always close enough to the hotel to be immediately available which made things very convenient. It was definitely a perfect place to have a mini-moon retreat, we look forward to going back in the future.

The hotel is tucked away on the side of a hill and facing the sea. Everything about it oozes relaxation and wellness vibes, from the moment you arrive at the open air reception that perches and overlooks the entire hotel, to the huge infinity pool, to the minimalist rooms. The rooms are all spread on the side of the hill and it's not the easiest to walk from the rooms to the pool or out to the reception areas, so there are hotel tuk-tuks that you can ring for. They arrive pretty quickly when you call for them. The rooms themselves are simple and spacious. The layouts feel very open as well. We stayed in room with a jacuzzi bath at the back, and a mini infinity dip pool outside. Breakfast spread was excellent, one of the best I've had in Phuket. Artisan breads, lots of fresh fruit, noodles, eggs the way you want, hot food - both Thai as well as all parts of an English fry-up. The breakfast restaurant is spacious, open and overlooks the infinity pool out to the beach and sea. There really isn't a better way to wake up! Also tried the yoga classes offered while there. If you catch the tides at the right time, there are also kayaking and snorkelling activities. It was the perfect place to get away from usual life stresses and recharge. You could definitely stay in the hotel for the whole trip and have a wonderful time, but if you were planning to explore the island as well, I would recommend getting a car or bike - I think there are shuttle services, but as its not close to the towns, it's much more convenient if you don't have to stick to their schedules.
