Sleek Phuket hideaway steps from the beach

• Idyllic escape: Nestled on the north-west shores of Thailand’s biggest island, Bella Nara Phuket Naiyang Beach makes for a lovely retreat from everyday life. With pretty Naiyang Beach just paces away, days can be spent padding along the sand or soaking up the tropical atmosphere from a lounger, shaded by swaying palms.

• Sun, snacks and sipping cocktails: The hotel boasts sleek and modern design, and at the heart of it all you’ll find the twinkling pool. Pitch up on a sunbed alongside, or take a refreshing dip in the water. Glide over to the swim-up bar for light snacks and fruity drinks, or make the most of the all-day à la carte dining spot that serves up local and international cuisine.

• Peaceful haven: When you’ve worn yourself out exploring this diverse island, retreat to your welcoming guest room for a good night’s sleep. Rooms are smart and sophisticated, blending modern style and comfort with Asian-inspired décor elements. Expect dark wood, lantern-style lighting and big, open windows.
