The Naka Island, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, Phuket

Slip away from Phuket’s mainland buzz to a private-island retreat wrapped in sea, sand and stillness. At The Naka Island, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, Phuket, you’re on Naka Yai Island, where the resort is the only property and private beach days unfold with the Andaman Sea all around.

Mornings can begin at the Infinity Pool, where water seems to meet the horizon, before you drift down to the sand or settle into a private cabana by the beach. Days move easily between paddleboarding, kayaking, sailing and mangrove discoveries, with Spa Naka by HARNN ready when you want to slow everything down.

When adventure calls, the Phi Phi Islands, Phang Nga Bay and James Bond Island are within reach by boat. Return for sunset cocktails at Zbar, beachfront Mediterranean dining at Rum Chapel Restaurant or Thai flavours at Aiyara Restaurant.
