The Naka Island is the only resort on Naka Yai island, so it's quiet and private in a way you can't get on Phuket itself, scoring 9.5 from 195 reviews. To arrive you take the resort's boat across from the east-coast pier, 10–15 minutes, and that crossing is the moment you start to feel cut off from the world before you've even reached your room. Every villa has its own private pool with a sala and a daybed at the edge; the sea-view villas face west across Phang Nga Bay for the sunset. There's Spa Naka by the water where you can book a couples treatment, and the resort sets up private dining on the beach for two.
