"Occupying Naka Yai, a small isle ten minutes by speedboat from Phuket, The Naka Island feels worlds away without the travel slog. Villas, more than 70 of them, fan out among palms, all with private pools, curved adobe-style walls and open-air bathrooms that catch the sea breeze. On arrival you strike a bronze gong twice: once to wake the dragon the island is said to resemble, once to make a wish. Three restaurants cover everything from southern Thai curries to sunset cocktails, and the spa draws on island spring water. Mainland excursions remain an easy hop, but most guests never leave." - Tablet Hotels
