Just five minutes by speedboat from Ao Po Grand Marina, The Naka Island, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, Phuket, feels a world away. Set on a forested island in the Andaman Sea, this low-rise property keeps things calm and considered. Rooms and villas come with plenty of privacy, and the on-site experiences lean into the natural surroundings—think kayaking through mangroves, Thai cooking classes, Muay Thai sessions, and birdwatching walks with over 50 species spotted around the grounds. There’s also a kid-friendly program with hands-on crafts and beach activities that go beyond the usual resort fare. For those looking to switch off, Spa Naka offers a full range of treatments, while the resort’s beach and two pools are made for slow days and sunset swims. The “Experience Dining” package includes daily breakfast and dinner, plus transfers, and runs through December 2025.
