About Natai Beach
Natai Beach is technically in Phang Nga province rather than on Phuket island itself, just across the Sarasin Bridge that connects Phuket to the mainland. It's a ten-kilometre stretch of government-protected coastline with no high-rise resorts, no beach clubs and no persistent vendors, lined instead with coconut groves, small fishing piers and traditional villages.
The protected status restricts large-scale construction, which is exactly why the beach has stayed this undeveloped. It's still an easy trip from Phuket: under 30 minutes from the airport, across the bridge and onto the 3006 coastal road.

A protected, undeveloped 10km stretch of coastline with no beach clubs, jet skis or persistent vendors, lined with coconut groves and traditional fishing villages. Large-scale construction is restricted, which is why it has stayed this quiet.

Yes. IHG has signed Kimpton Phang-Nga Natai Beach, a 150-key beachfront resort due to open in 2028, a sign of the area's growing profile as part of Phang Nga's wider luxury tourism push without changing the protected status of the beach itself.
