Ultimate privacy and peace of mind — this lovely beach in Phang Nga is made for serene tropical holidays and intimate celebrations
Despite being one of the world’s top travel destinations, Thailand isn’t short of hidden gems to explore. One of them is Natai Beach, which is just 20 minutes from Phuket airport but feels like a whole world away. We’re telling you, this lesser-explored slice of paradise has everything you dream of on a tropical holiday.
Where is Natai Beach?
Natai Beach is in Phang Nga, north of Phuket. This serene stretch of sand is located only 20 mins from Phuket international Airport and an hour from Phuket town.
Staying in Phang Nga allows for new-found experiences and beautiful sightseeing spots that would be too far if you’re based in Phuket proper. For example, within driving distance from Natai are piers that serve as the gateway to the stunning Phang Nga Bay — Koh Hong, Koh Panyee, James Bond Island.

Why Natai Beach?
The vibe in Natai Beach is different from Phuket and that’s the entire point. Here, it’s more about peace, privacy, and dare we say it, an even more pristine beach to explore. Here are a few of our favourite things about Natai.
Golden coast: You’ll love the wide open shore, soft golden sand and tranquil waters — perfect swimming conditions for all ages. It’s the kind of beach where everyone, even toddlers, can swim in! During high tide, jump on the boogie board then go kayaking during low tide.
Epic family-friendly villas: This is home to the most stylish — and spacious — villa estates with every amenity under the sun. Most of the luxury villas are gated, with shallow pools, have dedicated media and games rooms, and offer babysitting services and more. Whether it’s for a small family or a multi-generational reunion, it’s designed for any type of family holiday.
Made for gathering: The serenity of Natai Beach makes it the perfect setting for enjoying the company of your loved ones and throwing intimate events. Be it a big birthday bash or a lovely beach wedding, doing it here feels like you’re on your very own private island. Plus, we have a selection of event-ready villas ready for the taking.
Wellness retreats, golf and more: Relax at the infinity pool, get indulgent in-villa massages, and book dedicated yoga and Muay Thai instructors while ensconced at your luxury villa. When you head out, drop by Baba Beachclub — Natai’s go-to spot to let your hair down or chill to music by the pool. If you’re looking to play a round of golf, there’s two nearby: Blue Canyon Country Club and Aquella Golf & Country Club.
