Naka Island, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, Phuket
Secluded tropical island luxury with an authentic Thai sensibility. Rustic natural wood meets polished contemporary design. Private pools everywhere, canopy beds, open-air bathrooms. The vibe is genuinely peaceful rather than performatively so — guests report forgetting the mainland exists entirely.
Request a Garden or Tropical Pool Villa rather than the beach-edge Seaview Villas — they're more private and guests walk past the seaview villa fronts
Why It Matters
The sole resort on Naka Yai Island in the Andaman Sea. Received Michelin One Key recognition in 2025. Recently refreshed with a new Curator butler service (Feb 2026), renovated infinity pool, updated dining concepts, and Spa Naka by HARNN. The Royal Horizon Pool Villa at 1,600 sqm is one of the most dramatic hilltop villa settings in Phuket.
The only resort on Naka Yai Island, The Naka Island sits a 5-minute speedboat ride off Phuket's northeast coast — close enough to the mainland to feel sane about getting here, far enough that the world goes quiet the moment you dock. Ninety villas, suites, and rooms fan out across tropical grounds, most with private plunge pools. The island is yours and yours alone: no other resort, no other guests from competing properties, no traffic noise. The beachside infinity pool underwent a full renovation in 2025 and is now the resort's centerpiece.
Where You'll Stay
6 room types available
Beachfront Pool Villa (1 Bedroom)
Steps from the sand with direct beach access and a private pool. Glass doors open onto a spacious outdoor area right at the shoreline — covered sala and daybed included. The most desirable single-bedroom option for those who want to wake up and walk straight to the sea.
King
Garden/Tropical Pool Villa (1 Bedroom)
Authentic tropical-style private villa set amid lush greenery with a private plunge pool, covered sala, and daybed. Nearly 360-degree windows in some configurations keep you connected to the surrounding nature even from inside.

King
Naka Guest Room (King or Twin)
The entry-level rooms on property — comfortable, air-conditioned, with a terrace, LCD TV, minibar, and open-air bathroom. Garden views are the norm here. These are the smallest footprint on property and are the ones to book only if budget is the priority, as the real character of this resort lives in the villas.
King or Twin
One-Bedroom Luxury Suite
A step up with a separate living room and upgraded finishes. Open-plan layout with natural light and outdoor area. Sits between the guest room and villa tiers — good for those wanting suite-level space without the villa price tag.
