PULLMAN PHUKET ARCADIA NAITHON BEACH

Pullman Phuket Arcadia Naithon Beach: A Luxurious Escape Above the Andaman Sea

Phuket is filled with luxury resorts, but few manage to offer the perfect mix of seclusion, breathtaking views, and five-star service quite like Pullman Phuket Arcadia Naithon Beach. Perched on a headland overlooking the Andaman Sea, this resort feels like a hidden sanctuary, far from the crowds yet just 12 minutes from the airport—a rare balance of convenience and exclusivity.

From the private pool villas with jaw-dropping ocean views to sunset cocktails in sunken lounges, every moment at Pullman Phuket Arcadia is designed for total relaxation. Here’s what made our stay unforgettable.

First Impressions: A Warm Welcome & a Perfect Setting

Arriving at the resort, we were greeted with refreshing juice and a warm welcome from the team—a small but thoughtful touch that set the tone for the days ahead. The open-air lobby instantly impressed, offering panoramic views of the turquoise sea. It felt like stepping into a postcard.

One of the best things about this resort is its location. Set on Naithon Beach, one of Phuket’s quieter stretches of sand, it offers the beauty of Phuket without the chaos of more crowded areas like Patong. The sound of waves and the scent of tropical flowers filled the air—it was immediately clear that this was going to be a special retreat.

The Villa: Private Pool, Ocean Views & Ultimate Comfort

Our private pool villa was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we stepped in, it was clear—this is what Phuket dreams are made of.

🌊 Panoramic ocean views from every corner of the villa
🏊 Private infinity pool overlooking the Andaman Sea
🌞 Spacious terrace perfect for sunbathing or enjoying a morning coffee
🛋 Elegant interiors with warm wood tones and plenty of natural light

Waiting for us inside were fresh juice and delicate macarons, a sweet welcome that made the arrival feel even more special. Whether it was floating in the pool, soaking in the bathtub with a sea view, or simply lounging on the terrace, the villa offered a level of privacy and serenity that’s hard to find in Phuket.

Dining: A Culinary Journey from Thailand to Italy

One of the resort’s standout features is its diverse dining options, blending Thai flavors with international cuisine.

The resort offers a fine fusion of Thai and Western cuisine, with dining options that include the Italian Trattoria and Wine Bar, VERO, where you can enjoy specialty dishes from various provinces of Italy while taking in spectacular sea views.

🍣 Lunch at Bowls & More
Our first meal was at Pullman’s health hub, Bowls and More. It was a light but flavorful avocado and salmon poke bowl, paired with a refreshing juice. The combination of fresh ingredients and stunning ocean views made for the perfect start.

🍹 Cocktails with a View
One of the best moments of our stay was the sunset aperitivo at C Bar. Designed with sunken lounges that seem to float above the water, it’s the perfect place to sip a cocktail while watching the sky turn golden. The live music added to the atmosphere, creating an experience that felt both luxurious and effortlessly relaxed.

🍳 Mornings at Element
Breakfast was an event in itself. Element, the resort’s main restaurant, offers an extensive buffet with everything from tropical fruits and fresh pastries to classic Thai dishes and international favorites. The highlight? A floating breakfast served in our private pool, making for a truly indulgent way to start the day.

Experiences

💆‍♀️ Dhatri Spa: Ultimate Relaxation
For a deeper level of relaxation, we visited Dhatri Spa. The treatments here go beyond the usual—many incorporate local herbs and traditional Thai techniques, making for a spa experience that feels deeply connected to the destination.

🏝 Exploring Naithon Beach
Unlike some of Phuket’s busier beaches, Naithon Beach remains peaceful and pristine. With soft golden sand and clear waters, it’s ideal for long walks, morning swims, or simply unwinding under the shade of a palm tree.

Sunset Aperitivo by the Pool 🌅

As the sun set, we headed to the main hall by the pool for an aperitivo accompanied by live music, creating an unforgettable atmosphere as we watched the sun dip below the horizon. The resort’s C Bar offers designer sunken lounges where you can enjoy a cocktail while taking in the spectacular Phuket sunset.

A Morning of Indulgence with a Floating Breakfast 🍳

The next morning, we indulged in a floating breakfast in our private pool, accompanied by the soothing sounds of birds and the ocean. The resort’s Element restaurant offers a diverse buffet breakfast that promises to satisfy every palate, with a variety of delicious options to choose from.
