Koh Naka Retreat is an exclusive private hideaway offering privacy and security in an exotic tropical setting. Protected and secluded, yet not remote, the short sea journey to this island paradise from Phuket island takes only five or six minutes and the crossing is less than half an hour's drive from Phuket's International Airport.

The Retreat was conceived as an exclusive "get away from it all" destination where V.I.P's, celebrities and others in the public eye can relax in private and enjoy the pleasures of Phang Nga Bay, Thailand's most famous Marine National Park - one of the world's foremost locations of outstanding natural beauty.

Love at first sight is guaranteed. The views from Koh Naka Retreat are, without doubt, amongst the finest this world can offer.

Koh Naka Retreat is located on the island of Koh Naka Yai in the bay of Phang Nga in Southern Thailand, an island, shaped in the form of the Naka (or Naga) a mythical Sea-Serpent from which it takes its name. The origins of Oriental belief in the mythical Naka are lost in history. According to Thai tradition the revered water serpent supported the god Vishnu on its coils floating on the cosmic ocean whilst the universe was dreamed into existence. The Naka is also the provider of water, the elixir of life, and symbolises a bridge between the world of men and that of the gods.

No more appropriate place could be found to bear the Naka's name than Koh Naka which is located in what is unquestionably one of the world's top locations of outstanding natural beauty where the senses are continuously assaulted by an unspoiled vista of coastal, island and seascape magnificence. If any place on earth could be readily perceived as a bridge to the world of the gods it is here.

The Naka's association with water and the sea is also most apt as the location of Koh Naka Retreat is perfect for all forms of aquatic activity. Sailing, canoeing, snorkeling, diving in sun-sparkling aquamarine waters, exploring the coral reefs and mangroves or simply sitting on the white sands watching the local fishermen go by in their traditional wooden long-tail boats are just a few of the readily available activities.
