Marriott reopens Phuket resort

Phuket Marriott Resort and Spa, Nai Yang Beach presents a revitalized sanctuary following a comprehensive transformation, reaffirming its status as a premier luxury escape on Thailand’s famed Andaman shoreline.

Nestled along the unspoiled sands of Nai Yang Beach, widely celebrated as one of Phuket’s most picturesque destinations, the 180-room resort now welcomes discerning travelers with refined Thai hospitality and contemporary sophistication, seamlessly blending local tradition with the elevated standards of the Marriott brand.

Set within the tranquil boundaries of Sirinat National Park, the property is enveloped by verdant tropical flora and ancient woodland. Its enviable position places guests just 10 minutes from Phuket International Airport, while the cultural charms of Nai Yang’s old town remain moments away.

Guests can choose between two distinctive room aesthetics: serene earth-toned Thai-inspired interiors or sleek, modern designs featuring innovative luxury touches. The exclusive beachfront Pool Villas offer direct access to the shoreline, providing unparalleled privacy and indulgence.

Culinary offerings span two exceptional restaurants. ‘The Andaman Kitchen’ delivers an expansive menu of Thai and global flavors in an inviting all-day setting. For a more immersive seaside experience, ‘Big Fish Restaurant & Bar’ specializes in locally sourced seafood and signature cocktails. Afternoon tea is elegantly served in the open-air lobby lounge, where the ocean breeze completes the ambiance.

Resort amenities cater to both relaxation and recreation, including a lagoon-style swimming pool, a cutting-edge 24-hour fitness center, the award-winning Quan Spa, and a newly enhanced pirate-themed Kid’s Club designed to delight younger guests.

The Phuket Marriott Resort and Spa, Nai Yang Beach is also recognized for its versatile meetings and event spaces. The 126-square-meter ballroom and multiple sunlit function rooms are equipped to host everything from corporate conferences to bespoke celebrations, with expert event planning services available.

"With Phuket attracting over 13 million visitors annually, predominantly from Asia and Europe, the island remains a cornerstone of Thailand’s tourism industry, generating approximately 220 billion Baht each year. The reimagined Phuket Marriott Resort and Spa, Nai Yang Beach is poised to meet the evolving needs of both international and domestic travelers," shares Mr. David Ippersiel, General Manager of the resort.
