If you’re yearning for a serene beach getaway in Thailand, far from the crowds and bustle of traditional tourist destinations, then Natai Beach in Phang Nga is the perfect choice. This hidden gem, just a stone’s throw from Phuket, offers the ultimate escape. Unlike Phuket’s more commercialised areas, Natai Beach retains an untouched charm that promises peace, privacy, and a connection with nature.
For guests at Aleenta Phuket – Phang Nga Resort & Spa, Natai Beach is not just a destination; it’s an experience.
Secluded Beach Paradise on Thailand’s West Coast
While Thailand’s southern beaches have long been famous, overdevelopment in places like Phuket can make it hard to find the tranquillity many travellers seek. Natai Beach, located just 10 minutes north of Phuket, provides a refreshing alternative. Its pristine sands stretch for 10 kilometres along the Andaman Sea, and it remains protected from mass tourism. Government restrictions on development ensure that Natai will never suffer from the sprawling high-rises that crowd other popular beaches. Here, you can walk for miles without seeing another soul – a rare luxury in today’s busy world.
The Journey to Natai Beach
Getting to Natai Beach is surprisingly easy. The beach is a mere 40-minute drive from Phuket International Airport, making it incredibly convenient for visitors flying in from major airports worldwide. Once you’ve crossed the Sarasin Bridge, linking Phuket to the mainland, you’re just a short drive from the southern edge of Natai Beach. The coastal Route 3006 runs parallel to the beach, providing easy access and stunning views as you approach your destination.
The Ultimate Private Beach Experience
At Aleenta Phuket – Phang Nga Resort & Spa, the focus is on luxury and seclusion. A highlight of any stay is the private Natai Beach experience, where you can explore the coastline by traditional long-tail boat or relax on the beach’s white sands. Enjoy the warm, turquoise waters, where snorkelling reveals vibrant marine life, or soak up the sun in a peaceful, natural setting. With exclusive refreshments and the impeccable service Aleenta provides, your beach day will feel like a paradise.
Award Winning Accommodation and Facilities
Aleenta is renowned for its blend of modern luxury and authentic Thai charm. Each room and villa is unique, offering everything from stylish lofts to sprawling five-bedroom beachfront villas. Most accommodations feature private pools or stunning sea views, ensuring you feel utterly secluded and relaxed.
The resort’s Ayurah Spa & Wellness Centre is a sanctuary for those seeking rejuvenation, offering treatments designed to restore both body and soul. The spa’s offerings are second to none, from traditional Thai massages to cutting-edge skincare using Linda Meredith products. For those looking to centre themselves further, Aleenta’s yoga programme provides a serene space for meditation and practice, with private sessions for a personalised experience.
Dining with a View
Culinary delights await at Aleenta’s EDGE Restaurant, where the freshest organic ingredients are transformed into innovative dishes. Whether you’re savouring Thai classics or modern fusion cuisine, every meal is a sensory experience. The beachfront setting allows you to dine with the sound of the waves as your backdrop, and for an even more intimate experience, private beach barbecues or romantic dinners under the stars can be arranged.
For an even deeper dive into seasonal, locally sourced produce, Seasons Restaurant offers a unique farm-to-table dining experience. With a commitment to sustainability, Seasons showcases a changing menu that reflects the freshest ingredients from local farms and Aleenta’s organic gardens. Every dish at Seasons is crafted to highlight the natural flavours of Thailand’s finest produce, whether enjoying a light, healthy meal or indulging in something more decadent. The intimate setting and focus on wellness perfectly complement Aleenta’s ethos of balance and harmony.
Explore and Reconnect with Nature
While relaxation may be the primary aim of your stay at Natai Beach, there’s no shortage of activities to enjoy. The surrounding area offers an abundance of natural beauty and outdoor adventures. Aleenta’s staff can arrange cycling routes along the scenic Route 3006 or suggest local spots like the public pier, where you can mingle with local fishermen as the sun sets over the Andaman Sea.
For nature lovers, the region’s national parks are unmissable. Sirinat National Park, just south of Sarasin Bridge, is home to endangered sea turtles, while Ao Phang Nga National Park boasts iconic limestone pillars that rise dramatically from the water. A sea kayak adventure through the park’s hidden lagoons and caves is necessary for anyone exploring this otherworldly landscape. Further north lies Khao Sok National Park, where lush rainforests and diverse wildlife offer unforgettable trekking and river adventures.
Adventures at Sea
The Andaman Sea is renowned for its marine life, and Aleenta offers guided snorkelling and diving trips to the area’s most famous dive sites. Whether exploring the King Cruiser ferry wreck or the colourful coral reefs, the underwater world here is a diver’s paradise. For those less inclined to dive, kayaking trips to Phi Phi Islands and Phang Nga Bay allow guests to discover the dramatic cliffs and secret beaches from the water’s edge.
Family Fun and Entertainment
Aleenta is also a family-friendly resort, ensuring younger guests are just as entertained as the adults. Children will have an unforgettable holiday with activities ranging from Muay Thai boxing lessons to chocolate-making classes. The resort’s spa even offers treatments designed especially for children so the whole family can indulge in pampering.
Unwind at Night
As the day draws closer, Natai Beach transforms into a tranquil oasis under the stars. Unlike Phuket’s bustling nightlife, evenings here are peaceful, allowing guests to relax with a cocktail or enjoy a quiet moment by the sea. To taste local culture, visiting nearby Kok Kloy offers a glimpse of authentic Thai life, where you can dine on fresh seafood at traditional restaurants.
Alternatively, travel to Phuket for a night at the Siam Niramit Theatre, where cultural performances bring Thailand’s history and mythology to life.
Rediscover True Relaxation at Natai Beach

With its unspoiled beauty, luxurious accommodations, and proximity to some of Thailand’s most stunning natural attractions, Aleenta Phuket – Phang Nga Resort & Spa offers the perfect balance of relaxation and adventure.
