Belmond Napasai

The beach is of course, right there, but the facilities at the Belmond Napasai are excellent should sand not be your thing. There's a waterspouts centre, Badminton and tennis courts, a yoga deck, and a beautiful spa. Restaurant-wise, Lai Thai and Beach both offer deliciously more-ish meals, and the palm-fringed Infinity Bar is the perfect spot to sip on a cocktail, either in the warmth of the sun or under night's starry cover. And of course it goes without saying that the service is exceptional and staff are on hand to meet your every request.

Accommodation consists of 54 villas and 13 private residences, which sleep up to 8 guests and have all the benefits of private accommodation combined with the hotel services. For couples, the villas each have one bedroom, plus space for one to two children, and interiors are whitewashed, teak-floored and supremely lovely. All villas have sea views and spacious outdoor decks from which to gaze at them from, whilst some even have their own massage salas and spa gardens.

It would probably be easier to list what you can't do at the Belmond Napasai! Those looking for a relaxed stay can enjoy sunrise yoga classes, Thai language lessons, photography workshops, cookery classes, countryside tours and massage classes. Guests looking for more of a thrill will love the boxing classes, scuba diving and snorkelling the turquoise waters, taking to the high seas on hobie cats, windsurfing or even enjoying a volley or two on the tennis courts.
