The Experience
Nandana means “Paradise” in Sanskrit, and on entering this palatial four-bedroom holiday home with views that sweep across the fine sands of Natai Beach, elegant living areas, a gym, spa, and glimmering 20-metre pool surrounded by swaying palm trees, it’s easy to see how it got its name.
Just a 30-minute drive from Phuket airport, Nandana is a haven for discerning families or groups to escape, unwind and rejuvenate. Relax in privacy on Nandana’s half-acre of land, with its grey slate pool, wide terracing and tropical gardens that extend to the sand. The gym and spa room are air conditioned and well equipped for workouts or healing treatments.
Every room at Nandana exudes flawless luxury with extensive use of wood, stone and other natural materials, eye-catching décor and plush furnishings. The villa’s living room is a gorgeous gathering spot with an artful balance of grandeur and comfort, while the media room offers a cosy retreat from the sun. The kitchen is modern and well-equipped, though likely to be used mainly by the chef. Each bedroom is well appointed with TVs, ensuite bathrooms and king-sized beds, two of which can be converted to twin beds.
A team of full-time staff attends to every need, from fetching fresh pool towels to organising excursions to nearby sights. And dining is a true pleasure at Nandana, especially for those who savour Thai cuisine; with a skilled chef available to prepare delicious dishes to suit every taste. Meals are charged to guest accounts at the cost price of groceries plus a small handling fee.
Beyond the villa, Nandana offers a fine base for exploring the sights of the Andaman coast, whether taking kayak trips through the craggy islands of Phang Nga Bay, snorkelling off the Similan Islands, jungle walks, golf games, or visiting the historic Old Town of Phuket Island – or simply taking strolls along the sands of Natai, which stretch up the coast for some 10 kilometres.

An elegant four-bedroom haven on Natai Beach with a gym and spa.
With its balance of shared spaces and ultra-private bedrooms, Nandana is a fabulous retreat for families or groups of friends. Those looking for a more transformative holiday will find that the villa facilities are perfect for designing your own wellness retreat. We could have even arranged for a personal trainer, yoga teacher or spa therapist to come to the villa and work us into fit and fighting shape had the mood taken us. But the sea-view pool, a good book to curl up with on the comfy living room sofas, and toes-in-the-sand beach walks were enough of a body and mind recovery for this family!
It’s a magical feeling to return from a long, leisurely stroll and see that the only footprints on the sand are ours. With Phuket Island getting more crowded with each passing year, we’re happy to know that such a spacious, peaceful and elegant escape can be reached within an hour of touching down at the airport. Paradise found!

Highlights
There’s so much to love at Nandana it’s difficult to narrow it down, but we were entranced by its elegant design – staying here really made us feel like royalty. And, of course, those magnificent views of the sea and sky, especially at sunset.
Surprises
With no safety fence, the open pool could be a hazard for toddlers, so they’ll need to be watched closely. On our visit (in August), rough sea conditions didn’t allow for swimming. This wasn’t much of a bother, though, since we could happily enjoy dips in the villa’s large pool instead.
PROs
- Gorgeous setting on Natai Beach
- Private gym and spa room
- Pool with sea and sunset views
- Great staff and a talented chef
- Ideal seaside escape for families
CONs
- Pool lacks a safety fence
- Sea is rough in monsoon season

Location
Villa Nandana is set along the 10-kilometre length of Natai Beach, with just a few other luxury villas nearby. The villa’s connected pavilion design on a half-acre of land allows for prime views of Natai’s fabulous golden sands, sea, sky and sunsets. A short stroll north leads to a public pier, which is largely free of any activity except in the evenings when a handful of local families come to watch the sunset. The coastal road that runs parallel to the beach offers lush tropical scenery to enjoy on a bike ride or walk, with little car traffic and much of it lined by coconut palm plantations and green fields. For dining and cocktails beyond the villa, it’s an easy wander down the sands to Akrya Beach Club, about a half-kilometre away, while the excellent restaurant at Aleenta resort is about two kilometres south of the villa.

About Natai Beach
With a beautiful soft-sand shoreline stretching for 10 kilometres along Thailand’s Andaman coast, Natai Beach is a picture-perfect tropical destination. Found on the mainland in Phang Nga province, just a 10-minute drive over the bridge from Phuket Island, Natai Beach offers travellers a heavenly escape with endless days of kayaking, beach strolls and eco-adventures at nearby islands, jungles and waterfalls. Sand, sea and serenity.
Though Natai is found only 25 kilometres from Phuket International Airport – closer than the popular Patong Beach – only a tiny fraction of the millions of visitors who fly into Phuket each year make their way up to this tranquil beach. Strict building codes that ban large hotels in the area have limited Natai’s beachfront development to just a sprinkling of private villas and boutique resorts – adding an aura of off-the-beaten-track barefoot luxury to the Natai Beach experience. Sand, sea and sophistication.
With its sands blissfully free of vendors and sunbed rentals, to spend a day at the beach is to be immersed in a Natai nature nirvana soothed by the sound of the waves. The balmy turquoise waters are ideal for swimming, surfing, standup paddling or kayaking, though at certain times during the southwest monsoon season of May through October conditions may not be suitable. Off the beach, quiet roads through Natai’s idyllic rural landscapes of towering coconut plantations and sauntering buffalo are perfect for exploring by car or bicycle.
Natai Beach is a great base for discovering the natural wonders of Phang Nga, a province of pristine beauty encompassing jungle-clad national parks, untouched coastlines and the protected Similan and Surin islands. Natai’s dining scene is surprisingly diverse and delicious, from low-key Thai seafood spots run by local families on the beach or in nearby Kokkloy town (5km away) to some well-regarded resort restaurants offering a full wine and dine indulgence. Within an hour’s drive of Natai are a wealth of leisure activities, including golf courses, spas, water parks and all the shopping, dining and nightlife choices on Phuket.
About Phuket
Phuket is internationally recognised as one of Asia's premier tropical island destinations. The island welcomes four million plus visitors per year to an exceptional international lifestyle, stunning beaches with tranquil waters, vibrant towns and spectacular scenery – all with an exquisite tropical climate and world-class cuisine.
Located approximately one hour’s flying time from Bangkok and only a short flight from Singapore, Taiwan and Hong Kong, the island is serviced by an international airport with direct flights to and from many major cities in Asia, Europe and Australia. The island offers an impressive portfolio of leisure and lifestyle amenities including world-class golf courses, wonderful seascapes for sailing, diving and snorkelling as well as luxurious spas, international cuisine, high-end shopping complexes, chic boutiques, vibrant bars and lively nightclubs. The infrastructure includes excellent international hospitals and health services.
Rooms
Accommodation at Villa Nandana is arranged in a series of connected pavilions, with the living areas, spa, gym and three bedrooms at ground level and one bedroom upstairs. The pavilions are surrounded by lush tropical gardens, while the 20-metre pool, dining sala and terrace are set between the villa and beach.
At the heart of the villa is its living room, a grand space with oversized sofas and a bar set under a pitched wooden ceiling, wrapped by floor-to-ceiling windows. In another pavilion to the side, soft sofas are arranged to face the TV home theatre unit and a dining table seats eight. To the rear of this pavilion is the kitchen, a modern space with a Smeg oven and large granite countertops. The kitchen is available for guests, but it’s mainly the domain of the villa chef.
Tucked away at the back of the villa are the gym and spa room, both spacious areas with parquet floors and garden views. Perfectly equipped for couples, the spa room is furnished with two massage beds, a Bose speaker to set the mood and a shower room. The gym offers a five-star workout space, equipped to a high standard with free weights, an elliptical trainer, stationary bike, treadmill, yoga ball, mats and a TV.
The villa’s four bedrooms are arranged for optimal privacy and peace, with the sea-view master suite set in its own pavilion near the pool, two bedrooms towards the back on the ground floor, and the fourth bedroom offering an upstairs hideaway over the spa and gym. The master suite enjoys a fabulous double bathtub, walk-in wardrobe and work desk, while all the bedrooms have king-sized beds, a flat-screen TV, and ensuite bathrooms with showers. The beds in the two ground-floor guest rooms can be converted to twin beds.
