The Nai Harn, Phuket
It’s no surprise The Nai Harn is part of the Leading Hotels of the World family. An iconic site on the island, every detail was carefully considered during the renovation and rebranding of the amazing hotel that opened, last year. Overlooking one of the prettiest beaches in Phuket and arguably the best beach in Phuket for couples with it’s crystal clear water, and stunning sunsets. The view over the boat-filled bay from my room brought back memories of the Mediterranean. Spend your days lounging on the day bed on your private terrace, relaxing by the pool or swimming at the beach and wander up to the Reflections rooftop bar for a signature cocktail as sunset.

Ayara Kamala Resort & Spa
Driving around the curves of Kamala Beach and climbing the hill to the Ayara Kamala Resort, I was already dreaming about our clifftop wet edge pool. Most of the villa resorts in the Thai islands are impressive, but the villas at the Ayara Resort are at a whole new level and the photos we had seen online didn’t do it justice. There are only 10 villas spread across the hilltop of this Phuket luxury hotel, located on the famous coastline known as Millionaire’s Mile. By the time you have to leave, you’ll will already be calling your Ayara Kamala villa home.
Here are some of the best things to do in Phuket during your stay on the island.
