Set against the mesmerizing backdrop of the turquoise sea, this stunning pool has become the resort's centerpiece —a true icon of luxury and leisure. Guests can bask in the mirror-like waters, which reflect the ever-changing rhythms of the day, from the golden hues of sunrise to the vibrant oranges and reds of sunset. The pool's shape, inspired by Naka Yai Island and the resort's logo, invites guests to both swim and soak in the tranquil beachside atmosphere. A chic new deck with cozy cabanas provides the perfect spot to relax in comfort and style.

For those seeking more privacy, the resort's newly-upgraded Villas offer an elevated experience.

Whether enjoying a serene morning dip or a tranquil evening swim, every moment in these villas is designed to make a lasting impression. The fully air-conditioned, spa-inspired bathrooms have also been reimagined to exude even more indulgence and luxury.

For moments of pure tranquility, Spa Naka by HARNN has been enhanced and expanded with two additional treatment rooms (increasing from six to eight). Wellness seekers can step into a lush, natural oasis with replenished tropical gardens, pathways, and relaxation areas to create a more soothing ambiance, harmoniously connected with the environment and the rhythm of the ocean.

Now featuring air-conditioning and a state-of-the-art LED screen, the venue offers an elevated indoor setting for meetings, private activities, workshops, and special occasions. This adaptable space creates a seamless backdrop for intimate gatherings, curated events, and meaningful celebrations, all within the tranquil serenity of the island.

The Naka Island, Phuket, is also set to delight guests with a reimagined culinary experience at its three refreshed restaurants and a chic sunset bar. At Aiyara, the resort's signature dining destination, guests can savor authentic Thai cuisine. The restaurant's revitalized design, inspired by the Thai elephant, evokes the spirit of the kingdom's rich cultural heritage. Here, talented chefs curate dishes using the freshest ingredients from Phuket's farms and fishing villages, telling a story of Thailand's coastal traditions with every bite.

At Veranda, the all-day restaurant with sweeping ocean views, guests can indulge in a refined international menu. Influenced by the natural beauty of coral reefs, the design incorporates reclaimed driftwood, rattan, and pottery to celebrate the connection between sea and earth. Whether dining indoors or on the idyllic outdoor terrace, Veranda offers an elegant atmosphere for every occasion., Rum Chapel highlights the flavors of the Mediterranean with a focus on fresh, local seafood and premium imported ingredients like olive oil, burrata, and Italian wines, Rum Chapel's culinary offerings are both cosmopolitan and comforting.

For the perfect end to the day, guests can unwind at Zbar, the newly reimagined social venue perched on the tip of the island. With its extended open-air terrace overlooking Phang Nga Bay, Zbar offers an exceptional space for relaxation and socializing. As the sun sets, the "Sunset Ceremony" invites guests to light a candle and make a wish, marking a special connection with the island's coastal heritage. After dark, the venue transforms into an intimate setting for light, Japanese-inspired plates and cocktails.
