The pristine Natai Beach is actually located in the neighbouring province of Phang Nga just 20 minutes north of the Phuket International Airport. Although secluded and quiet, this beach is a short distance from the popular Blue Canyon Golf Course and picture perfect Phang Nga Bay. Our Natai Beach villas ooze luxury and space.
The pristine Natai Beach area stretches for 2km, with a backdrop of rich rainforest scenery and is a pearl that only a few travellers have found so far. Located on the west coast of the neighbouring province of Phang Nga, it is easily accessible. It is just 25 minutes north of Phuket International Airport and a shorter journey to your villa than many of the tourist hubs of Phuket.
Phang Nga is a 4,170sqkm province directly north of Phuket and is separated geographically by the Sarasin Bridge, but it seems world's apart when you compare the busy tourist hub of Phuket to the tranquil, pristine luxury of Phang Nga.
Phang Nga has a series of breathtaking eco parks which are protected, reaching from Phang Nga Bay to Koh Lak-Lam Ru. The Natai Beach extends along the Phang Nga west coast and is 45km from the centre of Phang Nga. The turquoise bays and limestone cliffs provide a spectacular backdrop to the rural simplicity of fishing villages that pepper the coastline. Rainforests, limestone caves, waterfalls and protected marine parks provide a plethora of once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to return to nature.
Offshore, the island groups of Surin and Similan (also national parks) are renowned for their beautiful unspoilt beaches and spectacular underwater scenery, attracting hordes of divers from around the world. The province is a melting pot of Buddhists, Thai-Chinese, Muslims and even sea gypsies making it an interesting and diverse place to visit.
Although secluded and quiet, this beach is a short distance from the popular Blue Canyon Golf Course in Phuket and ranked as one of Asia's top golf courses. Also close is The Mission Hills Golf Course resort which offers ocean views. Phang Nga also has the Thai Muang Golf Resort which is only 15 minutes away from our villas at Natai Beach.
Phuket town has a great choice of restaurants and a good market is just a 40km drive. The lively nighlife of Patong on the west coast will take a 40 - 45 minutes drive.
The area rubs shoulders with exclusive resorts and spas, such as the JW Marriott, Aleenta, and the Ritz Carlton.

Ao Phang-nga (National Park)
One of the most frequently visited marine national parks of Thailand with over 40 islands. Consistently ranked as one of the top ten dive locations in the world. There are over 20 documented dive sites and you'll see countless colourful tropical fish and possibly even a manta or whale shark.
Similan Islands (National Park) / Surin Islands
You are perfectly positioned for a shorter travelling time to see these beautiful islands with the departure piers just further up the coast. The trip to the Surin Islands will take longer as it is further up the coast, close to the ocean and Burma border.
The beautiful and unspoilt islands and forests of the Similan Islands are rated as one of the top ten best dive sites and perfect for snorkelling having some of the most renowned and well-preserved coral reefs in the world. The launching spot for the world famous Similan Islands is only 50 kilometers north of the villa and is a must for a visit even to see the powder white sands and turquoise water. The boat journey takes 1 1/2 hours to Koh Tachai and this National Park is only open 6 months of the year.
Surin Islands (National Park) encompasses the islands and their surrounding waters. The park is home to one of the most famous dive sites in the world, Richelieu Rock. In addition the islands feature pristine reefs, making it home to some of the best snorkelling in Thailand. Visit Morgan Village and you will be welcomed by a 'tribe' of indigenous sea gypsies who still lead the traditional lifestyle of many years, although children are now being taught more modern ways.
Sight Seeing Boat Trips
Sail to James Bond Island, kayak through a maze of majestic limestone caves.
Trekking
Trek to the magnificent Tamnang Waterfall (one of many in the province).
Experience the endless kilometres of unspoilt beaches, the scenic mountain roads winding through natures mighty limestone cliffs (karsts) on the way to the jungle and raft houses on the 165 sq km lake of Khao Sok National Park. Or take advantage of the close proximity to Yacht Haven Marina and the many boating opportunities of Phang Nga Bay.
Phang Nga is generally lacking in shops and restaurants, bar a few mini marts and local markets. There are some restaurants along the coast to meet the growing demand of this developing area.
