The Naka Island Resort & Spa

There are many things that really stand out about Naka Resort - All staff were so friendly polite attentive smiley, nothing was too much trouble for anyone, it was a real pleasure to interact with everyone. Our Villa was fabulous too, with evening staff turning down the bed/nets and lighting incense sticks/candles every evening to add to the atmosphere - a lovely touch. Our villas sun deck only had direct sunshine between 12 to 3 with trees creating shade the rest of the time - something we had tried to per-organise when we booked as we like out own space and company for the best part. So we spent more time in the beachfront/pool area when we needed to. It was nice enough but a tip to bear in mind is that the beach is more of a estuary bank, so as soon as the tide goes out you really have a mud flat not a beach - so the only real option is then the pool, though this wont matter to some people. If you are sunbathing in the main resort or by the pool, chilled water is complimentary, however everything else if not and quite expensive ie a cocktail to enjoy while watching the sun set is approx £10 a go. They also make their own home made ice cream (presumably as a good use of any excess fruits they may have) - this is served near the pool and is quite nice, and free only for a couple hours each afternoon, so if you fancy one any other time its chargeable! Something I thought was rather tight given the in house product cost versus the cost of two guests being there - its not like anyone's going to eat loads of them every day even if they were free? It felt the same with some complimentary dried fruit you receive in your room, but you only get it on day one - again it felt a bit of a cheek given the cost of your stay. This was also reflected in the two restaurants for meals or breakfast (if yours wasn't inclusive either). I appreciate profit isn't a dirty word but we did kind of feel 'mugged' with the prices of the food, especially as there isn't really any other choice. I have to say we still very much enjoyed our time at Naka, but it would be nice to see a few of the pricing niggles rectified in the future to make guests really remember their visits positive points and not any negative ones - and this could easily be done.

Our family booked 3 villas for 1 night... Too short of stay, but full of unforgettable memories!!! The resort is so gorgeous and every staff is so friendly, genuinely and helpful. We forgot something in the taxi on the main land and the concierge staff helped coordinating till we got our stuff. We have to compliment Khun Dan (Restaurant Manager) for his assistance and thoughtful as well as his F&B team for their great service. Khun Ya (Asst. Front Office Manager) and her team for the friendliness during our stay. Khun Bua (Marketing Communication Manager) for her arrangement and warm farewell. Lastly, we have to thanks everyone there for the great hospitality including the gardeners, housekeepers, engineering team who maintain the resort and do the best job ever! We will definitely come back and recommend to our friends.

The place so beautiful and relax for to recharge the batteries ! Sauna steam and very professional fitness and fantastic swimming pool in front the beach! The staff professional ! But the restaurant international near the pool not very excellent ! We reservedone table for our wedding Anniversary but ... when we went there the table not ready!

What a place! Basically, take a speedboat at the Ao Po Grand Marina, get to the gorgeous Naka Island off the coast of Phuket and get ready to be wowed! Resort is organized in different little private villas on a hill overlooking the ocean; this way every villa gets a view. The villas are very elegant and luxurious. Sunrises and sunsets to die for. You get your own private infinity pool. Then there is a separate section for your shower/steam room and another one for your tub, all within your little villa. In-room dining is top notch and the main restaurant by the main pool has amazing sunset views with excellent food. The chef (Jonathan D. Bruell) does an amazing job. He greeted us personally. Very nice touch. Try the lamb, or the angus beef tenderloin, or the goomb salong. Its all top-notch. Wifi was fast. Gym had great equipment. They have a library, general store, kids playroom, and you can get movies/dvds to take to your villa for the night. :) In love! Can't wait to be back! :)

I have stayed at Naka island, a luxury collection resort for 2 nights in July. It was a fantastic island not far from Phuket. You can stay in the villa and enjoy sunshine. SPG Platinum member can get many benefits, not only room upgrade but also happy hour from 5pm to 7pm. The staff there are also friendly, especially NOI, and OLIVER. They made my stay more memorable. I hope I can get back to Naka island soon, and enjoy sunshine there again!
