Narinsaya Pool villas

A quiet, comfortable base between nights out in Phuket. The rooms are spacious, with a little kitchen and good internet. It may not suit anyone who prefers staying in the south of the island. Banana Beach has only recently opened and is a cosy spot about a 10-15-minute walk away. The Sunset Bar is nearby too, with a lovely sunset and delicious food. Staff were attentive, and the linen changes and cleaning happened promptly without us having to ask.

The private pool meant we could relax without being disturbed, and the air conditioning worked really well. The villa was lovely inside, with new, well-kept furnishings, a handy kitchen, modern appliances, and fast internet. It's a 10-minute drive to the airport, but we couldn't hear the planes. I also liked nearby Nai Yang beach. It has great infrastructure, and you can watch planes landing and taking off.

We stayed with the family in April 2024, in a peaceful villa surrounded by jungle. Each villa is fully equipped and has its own pool, though the pool sizes vary. The beach is about a 15-minute walk or 5-10 minutes by bike or car. Nearby, Na Yang village is developing quickly, and I think it may soon be a modern version of Bang Tao. Nalinta, the property manager, is a wonderful, educated Thai woman and one of the official developers in Phuket with various properties.
