The Naka Island, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, Phuket
If Valentine’s Day calls for disappearing somewhere far from the noise, The Naka Island, Phuket, gets it right. Just off Phuket’s coast, this private island resort invites you to slow down and experience romance at its most exquisite. Private and peaceful, it’s the perfect place to spend a romantic getaway with your special someone.
You can opt to dine on the beach by candlelight, enjoy a private meal by your villa’s private pool, or sit facing the Andaman as the sky changes colour. The chefs design the menu around your preferences, from courses to pacing, while the service stays softly out of sight.
When it’s time to properly unwind, Spa Naka by HARNN offers side-by-side treatments inspired by Thai wellness traditions, designed to help you relax together without distractions. And as the sun begins to dip, you’re invited to the Romantic Sunset Ceremony, where gentle storytelling, candlelight, and the beauty of the setting sun mark the moment.
For Valentine’s Day, the resort unveils one exceptional evening. On the Beach Lawn, you sit down to a beautifully crafted six‑course dinner by the sea, with Champagne to begin, red roses awaiting, and handmade chocolates to share. The sun dips, the waves offer a gentle backdrop, and the entire night remains beautifully centred on the two of you. You can also book the private Cabana to make the celebration even more special.
