Navatara Phuket Resort – SHA Extra Plus

Navatara Phuket Resort – SHA Extra Plus Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Navatara Phuket Resort – SHA Extra Plus, you immediately sense this isn’t your typical beach resort. The design feels thoughtfully modern without being cold — there’s something about the way they’ve balanced contemporary touches with Thai elements that just works. I mean, you can tell they put real effort into making this place feel special rather than just another cookie-cutter property. The staff genuinely seemed happy to see guests, which honestly makes such a difference when you’re trying to unwind.

Location & Getting Around

Here’s what I love about Rawai — it’s not the chaos of Patong, but you’re not stuck in the middle of nowhere either. Phuket‘s southern tip has this more authentic feel, and couples absolutely get why this spot works so well for romantic getaways. You’ve got Rawai Beach right there, which is more about longtail boats and local seafood than jet skis and crowds. The four-star resort sits perfectly positioned where you can walk to some genuinely good local restaurants — I’m talking about places where Thai families actually eat, not just tourist traps.

The Accommodations

The room I stayed in had this wonderful sense of space that you don’t always get, even at higher-end places. Large windows, clean lines, and — this might sound small but it matters — really good water pressure in the shower. You know what struck me? The balcony actually felt private, not like you’re waving at your neighbors every time you step outside. The beds are properly comfortable too, which honestly can be hit or miss in this price range.

Dining & Amenities

The on-site restaurant surprised me in the best way. I expected decent hotel food, but they’re actually doing some interesting things with both Thai and international dishes. Breakfast has all the standards you’d want, plus they make a mean Thai-style omelet if you ask. The pool area becomes this lovely social space in the evenings — not rowdy, just people enjoying drinks and conversation. There’s also a small spa that’s perfect for unwinding after beach days, though I’d recommend booking treatments early since it’s intimate in size.

Why Guests Love It

What really sets this place apart is how it manages to feel both relaxing and engaging. You’re close enough to explore Phuket’s southern beaches — Nai Harn is just a short ride away and absolutely worth it — but Rawai itself has enough character to keep you entertained. The resort attracts couples who want something more sophisticated than a party hotel but aren’t looking for stuffy formality either. Parking is hassle-free if you rent a scooter to explore, and the staff actually gives useful local recommendations rather than just pointing you toward tourist attractions. It’s the kind of place where you can have both adventure and genuine relaxation without feeling like you’re compromising on either.

• Junyuan from United Kingdom (8/10)

  I already miss Navatara and wish I could stay there for longer! It's tucked away in the quiet and local neighborhood of Yanui, with some lovely beaches nearby and loads of shops and restaurants within minutes reach. I had such amazing Thai food and massages in the area. It's right next to Rawai beach where you can hire long tail boats too. The resort itself feels intimate, with clean, spacious rooms and comfy beds. I felt such peace and tranquility there and slept so well, which was exactly what I needed after my long journey to Thailand!

• Faith from United Kingdom (10/10)

  The staff were lovely and accommodating. Very polite and efficient. The hotel was clean and our room was beautiful. The bed was super comfy and the pillows were great.
  Our room led directly into the pool and the water was clean and refreshing. The pool is open 24 hours with a 9pm noise curfew which was respected by all. There was also security overnight.
  We ordered room service a few times and they were lovely.
  The cleaner was considerate and amazing. Super friendly and helpful.
  
  There is a 7 11 shop next door which was very convenient and we could walk into Rawai from the hotel.
  The hotel is quiet and not in the busy part. Only a 5 min walk down to the boats, beach, restaurants etc.
  
  Overall, a beautiful hotel with lovely staff. I would definitely stay again.
