NH Boat Lagoon Phuket Resort

NH Boat Lagoon Phuket Resort Overview

First Impressions

Walking into NH Boat Lagoon Phuket Resort, you immediately notice how different this place feels from the typical beach resorts scattered around Phuket. It’s actually built around a working marina, which gives it this sophisticated yacht club vibe that honestly surprised me. The five-star property sits in Kohkaew, about 15 minutes from the airport — and I mean that’s a real blessing when you’re dragging luggage after a long flight. You know what really caught my attention? The way they’ve designed everything around the water views, so even the lobby feels like you’re already on vacation.

The Marina Setting

Here’s the thing about staying at a marina resort — it’s incredibly peaceful compared to the chaos of Patong or Kata beaches. You’ll wake up to the gentle sound of boats bobbing in the harbor instead of jet skis and beach vendors. The location works especially well for couples (which explains why so many honeymooners end up here), since you get that romantic waterfront setting without being completely isolated. There’s actually a small shopping area within walking distance, plus you’re close enough to explore the rest of the island when you feel like it.

Accommodations and Amenities

The room I stayed in had this gorgeous marina view — honestly, I spent way too much time just watching the boats come and go. The accommodations feel genuinely luxurious without being stuffy, with marble bathrooms and those little touches that make you feel pampered. What I really appreciated was the spa facility, which offers traditional Thai treatments alongside more contemporary options. The fitness center is well-equipped (though let’s be honest, you’re probably not here to spend hours on a treadmill), and there’s even a tennis court if you’re feeling energetic.

Dining Experience

Breakfast here is actually something to look forward to — they do both American classics and a proper buffet spread with local options. The restaurant overlooks the marina, so you’re basically dining with a postcard view every morning. I found myself lingering over coffee way longer than usual, just watching the activity on the water. The evening dining options are solid too, though you’ll definitely want to venture out and explore some of Phuket’s incredible local food scene during your stay.

Why Guests Love It

What really sets this place apart is how it manages to feel both elegant and relaxed at the same time. The parking situation is refreshingly stress-free if you’re planning to rent a car and explore the island — which I’d definitely recommend. You get that premium resort experience without the overwhelming crowds, plus the marina setting means you’re surrounded by this interesting mix of international yacht owners and local boat operators. It’s the kind of place where you can genuinely unwind, whether you’re planning romantic dinners by the water or just want to escape the typical tourist trail for a few days.

Apartments in Phuket provide travelers with authentic local experiences, allowing them to explore traditional markets and experience daily life in charming areas like Old Phuket Town and Kamala Beach.
