When it comes to planning a villa getaway in Thailand, Phuket often takes the spotlight as one of the most popular tourist destinations in the country. However, just a stone’s throw away from Phuket, 35 minutes drive north of Phuket International Airport, lies a hidden gem that’s often overlooked – Natai.
This pristine and tranquil coastal area offers a refreshing change of pace and a myriad of advantages compared to its more famous neighbour.
We travel to Phuket to visit our villas and reconnect with friends on an annual basis. Each visit we find ourselves allocating more time in Natai… this blog post explores the reason why.
Perfectly Named: Coastal Escape
Coastal Escape Natai is a complex of four light and modern villas channelling Ibiza cool on a private beach. Each villa offers light and modern architecture and a large private pool, a combination that’s reminiscent of the stylish white villas of Ibiza.
Phuket is renowned for its vibrant nightlife and crowded beaches, which is super appealing to many travellers. However, if you’re seeking a quieter and more peaceful escape, Natai is the place to be. The serene atmosphere of Natai’s pristine beaches and lush landscapes provide the perfect setting for relaxation and rejuvenation. Here, you can truly unwind without the hustle and bustle of Phuket’s tourist-heavy areas.
We just love Coastal Escape Natai as the modern design, furnishings and open-plan living create the perfect setting for a family retreat away from the crowds.
All-Day, Every-Day Dining
Coastal Escape Natai includes breakfast daily. However if you are planning an event or simply would like lunch or dinner arranged, the villa has an iPad with click-to-order menu for guests – all day long! Super easy, very smooth and just what our team of weary travellers needed after a busy week in Phuket.
What’s more, we were also giddy to find the fridges pre-stocked. The villas have a variety of wine and champagne ready to pop so there is no need to leave beachfront bliss. It’s super rare for villas to think of this and it seems so obvious to us now.
Services
One of the best things about visiting Thailand is the massages! Each Coast Escape Natai villa has it’s own spa room and provides massages along with a range of other services that can be arranged with the villa concierge.
For those inclined to burn calories on the water, Natai’s location on the Andaman Sea offers access to a wide range of water activities and excursions. Whether it’s snorkelling, scuba diving, or island-hopping, Natai provides a gateway to explore the stunning marine life and picturesque islands of the region. Again, your villa concierge can arrange memorable day trips for you.
Time to Sleep In
Each Coastal Escape Natai villa has five bedrooms. Four rooms have king-sized beds and one room has two single beds which can also be set up as a king if needed. There are two bedrooms on the ground floor and three bedrooms upstairs on the first floor.
Cool Teenager Zone
Staying in a villa when travelling with kids and teenagers is a no-brainer, especially when the villa has a chill-out area and media room.
Need More Info?
While Phuket continues to be a beloved destination in Thailand, Natai’s advantages as a tranquil and luxurious alternative are undeniable. Whether you’re seeking a romantic escape, a family vacation, or a peaceful solo retreat, Coast Escape Natai offers unspoiled beauty, upscale accommodation, and proximity to Phuket for a bit of excitement.
So, consider venturing off the beaten path and discover the serenity and charm of Natai on your next Thai adventure. Your paradise awaits.
You’d better hurry though… Natai Beach is not going to remain one of the best kept secrets in Thailand for long ;)
