About The Naka Phuket, a member of Design Hotels

Book this accommodation if you prefer minimal contact with other people. The villas at this Kamala property are situated over the open ocean and feature private pools. Guests describe them more as small apartments than hotel rooms. There is a private beach, an infinity pool, a spa, and a bar. Snorkeling and kayaking equipment can be borrowed free of charge, subject to availability. The staff consistently receives praise in reviews for being friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet is plentiful and offers breathtaking ocean views.

Opinions are divided at dinner. Some guests praise the restaurant as one of their best meals ever, while others found lunch and dinner merely average and ended up eating out, which is frustrating given the hotel's remote location. It's best to try it for yourself. The hotel is a member of Design Hotels, so the architecture is as impressive as the sea view.

"A truly private luxury experience at The Naka." Unfortunately, the weather didn't cooperate during our stay – it rained heavily almost every day, and the sun rarely made an appearance. However, our stay at The Naka more than made up for it. The service and staff were like sunshine for us – warm, welcoming, and always with a smile. Our mornings began with a delicious and varied breakfast, accompanied by a breathtaking 180-degree ocean view – what a way to start the day! The large and beautiful pool is located right next to a tranquil private beach. The villa concept offers complete privacy and plenty of space. Surrounded by lush greenery and shady trees, there's a relaxing and peaceful atmosphere – perfect for unwinding. Even on rainy days, there were activities like the kids' club and the fitness center that transformed dreary days into fun and enjoyable experiences. Dinner at the hotel was excellent every evening, whether international or Thai cuisine; everything was superb. The delicious Thai food deserves special mention. What impressed us most, however, was the exceptional service from all the staff in every department. Everyone was incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed at all times. Thank you so much for making our rainy holiday, in true Naka style, an unforgettable and wonderful experience! A special thank you to Dang, Vix, and Tom (Fitness), who made our stay even more enjoyable.

What a fantastic stay! By far the best hotel I've ever stayed in. We had room 461, and it not only had a huge, dreamy pool, but also a breathtaking view. The private beach was great too, the service was excellent, and overall I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. If I had to find fault with anything, it would be the food, both at lunch and dinner. It was average at best, and given the hotel's location, we were forced to eat out all the time. I think such a fantastic hotel should offer significantly better food so that guests would prefer to stay at the hotel. As I mentioned, however, I was constantly forced to eat out. A good example of what I would expect is a restaurant like Jaras at the nearby Intercontinental. Add that in, and you have the best hotel in the world.

The hotel is really lovely; the room is like a small apartment with a private pool and direct sea view. Very relaxing and beautiful. It's located a bit outside the center, but you can always order a Grab taxi.

Tips for visiting hotels and resorts

Compare the rates of online travel agencies and direct providers.

After finding a deal on Agoda or Booking.com, you should always check the hotel's own website as well. Many Thai hotels offer a best price guarantee or extras like free breakfast when booking directly.

Location is more important than the stars

A well-located 3-star hotel is often better than a remote 5-star resort. In Bangkok, proximity to a BTS or MRT station saves hours; on islands, proximity to the desired beach is crucial.
