Phuket Marriott Resort and Spa, Nai Yang Beach opened in 2016 following a complete renovation. Nestled on the sandy shores of Phuket’s northwest coast, overlooking the Andaman Sea, this low-rise resort is easily accessible yet far enough from the main tourist areas to feel secluded.

It features a collection of contemporary rooms, suites and beachfront pool villas, plus a choice of restaurants,  spa, fitness centre, and an expansive outdoor area with tropical gardens and lagoon style pools that overlook the ocean. The resort is also one of Thailand’s top wedding destinations, with excellent facilities for all types of ceremony and celebration.

This marks the second consecutive year of success for Phuket Marriott Resort and Spa, Nai Yang Beach at the Asia Pacific Property Awards; last year, the resort was named as “Thailand’s Best Interior Design Hotel”, “Thailand’s Best Wedding Venue”, “Asia’s Best Wedding Venue” and “International’s Best Wedding Venue”.
