It's often said that paradise is hard to reach. Here, at the Pullman Phuket Arcadia Naithon BeachThe hotel is perched like an eagle's nest above a pristine beach, hidden by the jungle, and accessible by a road that meanders as if it wanted to test you before giving you over to the show. But once you've arrived... the view hits you like the first sip of an ice-cold mojito.
Naithon Beach stretches out below, a wide strip of golden sand lined with filaos, still protected from the frenzy of crowded beaches. Above, the Pullman welcomes you with its modern lines, infinity pools and half-elegant, half-relaxed atmosphere, where you can switch without shame from the spa to a barefoot cocktail.
Suites and bedrooms: your cocoon in the canopy
At Pullman Arcadia, each room is a luxury cabin. Large picture windows, terraces that open onto the sea, contemporary furniture that bridges the gap between modernity and tropical softness. You wake up to the sun gilding the waves and birds singing in the jungle - and frankly, there are worse ways to wake up.
Some suites even have their own private plunge pool, perfect for testing out your swimming costume in complete privacy or dipping a toe in the water with your morning coffee. Everything is designed to create a chic, natural bubble where Instagram is just a bonus.
Bars and restaurants: perched flavours
Here, gastronomy is enjoyed with a panoramic view. At Vero Trattoria & Wine Bar, you'll think you're in Tuscany for a moment, with antipasti and glasses of Chianti overlooking the Andaman Sea. At the Elements Restaurant, it's Thailand all over again: fragrant curries, tropical fruit and fish grilled that very evening. And then there's the C Bar, perched high above it all, where you can enjoy cocktails as the sun goes down.
One evening, I drank a gin and tonic while watching the fishermen light their green lamps on the sea. It looked like an inverted constellation, as if the sky had fallen into the water. I took two photos. They were blurry. But in my mind, it's clear: a suspended moment.
Experiences and leisure: from spas to waves
Pullman is more than just a comfortable bed. It's a complete sensory experience. The infinity pools literally melt into the ocean, giving you the impression of diving straight in. The spa offers Thai massages or more Western treatments, always with oils that smell of lime and eucalyptus. The result: you come out as limp as a well-cooked rice noodle, but infinitely happy.
And then there's Naithon Beach, just down the road. Far from the crowds, it's the ideal place for a stroll at sunrise, a bit of snorkelling, or simply a dip in the rare silence. The contrast is striking: you can go from the hustle and bustle of a rooftop bar to the calm of an almost deserted beach... in less than ten minutes by lift and stairs.
The quiet elegance of Phuket
The Pullman Phuket Arcadia Naithon Beach is not just another hotel. It's a luxury break above the ocean, a place where you can both savour sophistication and indulge in the simplicity of a sunset on an unspoilt beach. Here, you understand that true chic isn't about having everything. It's about having just the right thing, at just the right time: a cool drink, an endless view, and the certainty that you're not expected anywhere else.
