Phuket Marriott Resort and Spa Nai Yang Beach

Phuket Marriott Resort and Spa Nai Yang Review

Phuket Marriott Resort and Spa Nai Yang is the ideal retreat for those seeking a peaceful getaway. Situated on the serene Nai Yang Beach, our hotel offers a unique location near the tranquil Sirinat National Park, away from the crowded beaches of southern Phuket. The beautifully designed rooms feature Thai influences and modern amenities. The hotel has three excellent restaurants, and Quan Spa provides a range of excellent treatments, while the vast swimming pool offers ample space for relaxation and recreation. The hotel has many great features and qualities; we had a lot to enjoy and discover during our 3-day stay.

The location on Nai Yang Beach

marriott nai yang beach phuket

Phuket Marriott Resort Nai Yang is on the secluded Nai Yang beach, a bay close to the airport, so you can start your holiday soon after landing, but far enough, so you don’t have to worry about planes. Nai Yang Beach is just next to a national park and hasn’t changed much in the past 20 years. Travellers who don’t like how much Phuket has developed in the past decade will love this hotel and its unique beach.

It’s a perfect timeless hideaway, surrounded by nature and the beauty of an immense sandy bay. Locals and those who know the place love to spend time in this national park. You can easily find Thai food from the local vendors, relax under the immense trees or play in the sea. Nai Yang Beach is as close to the original Phuket as possible. It’s not isolated either, as a short walk will take you to a tiny beachfront village where you can get drinks and food with your feet in the sand.

The rooms

Phuket Marriott Resort and Spa Nai Yang have 180 rooms and a lot of room types to choose from, and since you opted for the relaxing part of the island, you probably will spend some time in it, so the best is all the pool access or the beachfront villas. Large and superbly designed with modern Thai inspiration, beachfront pool villas are the best choice as they come with a garden in front and a large covered sitting area. Unfortunately, the sea is not always visible from your bed; it would have been perfect.

It may sound a little trivial, but in an era where every traveller comes with computers, tablets, phones and cameras, getting enough plugs in old-fashioned hotels is frustrating. Phuket Marriott Nai Yang knew that, and we were impressed (we even took a picture)! There are more plugs than you can use, but they can also accommodate plugs from any country, and even better: there are no less than four USB plugs on the walls, one set next to your desk and one next to the bed! How cool is that? Sure, in 10 years, it will come standard (or whatever plug we will use in 10 years), but that’s a great feature.

The Restaurants

The Phuket Marriott Resort and Spa Nai Yang count three restaurants. ‘The Lounge’, ‘Andaman Kitchen’ and ‘Big Fish Bar & Grill’. You can also enjoy a light meal at ‘The Lounge’ near the lobby, where they serve excellent dishes such as Hamburger foie gras and some beautifully presented Thai snacks.

Andaman Kitchen is where you will probably keep it for breakfast. It’s a larger but cosy room with a great choice of breakfast dishes, western or Asian (go for both since it’s a buffet, spoil yourself!) And the chef makes a great omelette!


Big Fish Restaurant

Big Fish is the most attractive restaurant since it’s just by the beach, and most seafood comes from the little fishing village next to the hotel. You get to eat the freshest seafood, and you support the local community at the same time. In the morning, you can sometimes walk to the small fishing boats and look at the day’s catch.

We visited several times and stopped over for lunch lately. We sat at the terrace and enjoyed a deliciously fresh and crispy Marriott Nai Yang Salad (grilled cajun prawns, feta cheese, pomelo, mango and lettuce with pineapple chilli dressing, 390 baht), followed by a slow-braised lamb shank (590 baht), tender and cooked to perfection. The dishes were beautifully presented, and the service was spotless and friendly.

On another occasion, we tried one dish we usually love, the sea bass wrapped in banana leaves. The success of such a recipe is to keep the fish’s natural flavour without overwhelming it, which has to be great, so only great fish will do. With just a surprisingly delicate banana leaves aroma and a light spicy lime sauce, it was so perfect we did order it again the next day. (And you can select from more than ten wines by the glass, it is a nice touch).


Mama’s Kitchen

Mama’s Kitchen serves homemade food in a cosy beachfront atmosphere. The contemporary shipping container kitchen and bar offer a unique dining experience with a modern, minimalist vibe under the trees that is quite unique in Phuket.


Romantic Beach Dinner

If you come with your loved one, and it seems that most customers do, you can treat yourself to the most romantic dinner ever: your feet in the sand and your head under the stars! That’s obviously if tide and weather allow it, but it’s worth trying! (starting at 5,200 baht plus taxes).

Facilities

The spa

Spa at Marriott Nai Yang Phuket

Quan spa is only four rooms but is designed for instant relaxation. Their wide choice of treatments is excellent (and we are not easily impressed), and therapists are genuinely skilled, with gentle but firm pressure, just as you requested. And here is a tip: their sunburn aloe wrap treatment is very efficient; you need to remember this since the sun of Phuket is a lot stronger than it seems!

The swimming pool

Swimming Pool at Marriott Nai Yang Phuket

The swimming pool is immense, around 2,600 meters square. The largest part is near the beach, so long that you can swim almost through the entire resort. Such a large swimming pool allows the hotel to offer a lot of pool access rooms.

Kids Club

The kids club is bright, spacious and colourful, with a large outdoor playground and daily fun activities. It’s a nice place where your kids will have serious fun with a dedicated team. The club is near the hotel’s central area, so you can even say hi anytime. Kids from 4 years old can join; for those younger than this, you will need to book a babysitter 24 hours in advance.

The team!

marriott nai yang team

The hotel crew is genuinely friendly, polite, caring and always smiling; Thailand hospitality at its best: you feel instantly at home and relaxed. From the laundry lady to the gardener and the chef, people greet you with a natural smile and a Wai (Thai greeting). Besides, it seems that most of the team speak excellent English.
