The Naka Phuket
Award-winning modernist architecture meets tropical hillside seclusion. Think raw concrete, rich local hardwood, dramatic cantilevers, and infinity-edge pools hanging off the slope. Very much a design statement, not a cozy Thai beach vibe.

Why It Matters
Designed by Duangrit Bunnag, one of Thailand's most celebrated architects, the resort has won International Architecture Awards and ARCASIA recognition. It is the only resort on Phuket claiming a private beach on Kamala Bay with villas that cantilever 6 meters over the hillside. Listed in the Michelin Guide Hotel Selection and a member of Design Hotels / Marriott Bonvoy.
Architect Duangrit Bunnag designed this place to look like nothing else on Phuket, and it really shows. All 90 pool villas climb a hillside above Yae beach — a private, unspoiled stretch in Kamala Bay — with each bedroom cantilevered 6 meters out into open air, delivering 270-degree Andaman Sea views through floor-to-ceiling glass. Bold, design-forward, and a bit theatrical: the NAPA Spa sits in a five-story tower with an artificial waterfall cascading down its face, visible from across the resort. This is architecture first, beach resort second.
Where You'll Stay
12 room types available
Four Bedroom Pool Villa
The largest villa at 600 sqm with four bedrooms and a private infinity pool overlooking the Andaman Sea. Priced from THB 46,999/night on the Summer Escape package. This is the whole-property-rental territory for groups who want serious space.
Multiple · 600 sqm
Napa Suite
The entry-level option at 58 sqm — compact by Naka standards but with a private pool and beach view. Good entry point for solo travelers or couples who want to spend most of their time outdoors.
King · 58 sqmOne Bedroom Beach Access Pool Villa
205 sqm with sea views and a path to the beach — a middle ground between the hillside villas and the pure beachfront option.
King · 205 sqmOne Bedroom Beachfront Pool Villa
The most coveted single-bedroom option at 232 sqm — right at beach level with direct access to Yae beach. If the hillside villas are about dramatic views, this one is about walking straight to the sand.
King · 232 sqmOne Bedroom Pool Villa Deluxe Ocean View
Same 205 sqm footprint as the partial seaview, but with a clear, unobstructed Andaman Ocean view. The open-plan design means you can see the water from bed, from the pool, and from the bathroom. A clear step up visually.
King · 205 sqmOne Bedroom Pool Villa High Bay
Positioned higher on the hillside for a broader bay panorama. Same 205 sqm layout but the elevated position gives it a wider sweep across Kamala Bay.
King · 205 sqmOne Bedroom Pool Villa High Bay – Signature
The premium version of the High Bay villa, with upgraded signature-level interiors. Same dramatic hillside position and cantilevered bedroom, but with enhanced finishes.
King · 205 sqmOne Bedroom Pool Villa Partial Seaview
205 sqm with the signature cantilevered bedroom — the bedroom literally hangs 6 meters over the hillside. Partial sea view means some foliage in the sightline, but the architecture is the same dramatic experience.
King · 205 sqmThree Bedroom Pool Villa
At 526 sqm, this is the biggest of the three-bedroom options. Sea views, private pool, and enough space to spread out properly. An imposing amount of villa for three couples or a larger family.
Multiple · 526 sqmThree Bedroom Pool Villa Garden View with Sauna
411 sqm with a private sauna — the most wellness-focused of the larger villas. Garden views rather than ocean, which is the trade-off, but the sauna and space make it excellent for families or groups wanting that extra amenity.
Multiple · 411 sqmThree Bedroom Pool Villa Signature
437 sqm with full Andaman Sea views and elevated interiors. The sweet spot for groups wanting both size and the dramatic sea panorama.
Multiple · 437 sqmTwo Bedroom Pool Villa
256 sqm across two bedrooms — good for families or two couples. Sea view from both bedrooms, shared private pool. The cantilevered bedroom design applies here too.
