Tucked away in Phang Nga, just north of Phuket, Natai Beach is known for its long stretch of golden sand, clear waters, and slower pace of life. While it may not have the same number of bustling eateries as Phuket’s busier resorts, it offers something more memorable: carefully curated dining right on the beach, and a handful of much-loved local restaurants just a short drive away. Guests at Aleenta Phuket – Phang Nga Resort and Spa enjoy the best of both worlds, with fine dining at the resort itself and easy access to nearby hidden gems.
Dining By The Beach
The EDGE Restaurant
Steps from the sand, The EDGE is one of Natai Beach’s most inviting dining venues. Serving fresh seafood, international favourites, and vibrant Thai classics, the menu suits both relaxed lunches and romantic dinners under the stars. Start the day with a beachfront breakfast, enjoy light midday bites, or linger over a seafood platter while watching the sunset.
SEASONS Restaurant
Seasons is designed for those who enjoy dining with a focus on wellness and sustainability. With a plant-based menu inspired by seasonal ingredients, it showcases creative vegetarian and vegan dishes alongside lighter options. It is perfect for guests who appreciate mindful cuisine without compromising on flavour or presentation.
Baba Beach Restaurant
For those who enjoy dining with a vibrant energy, Baba Beach Restaurant blends contemporary tropical design with the distinctive flair of Sino-Portuguese style. The menu features a mix of international and Thai cuisine, paired with refreshing cocktails and upbeat music. It is as popular for its lively mood as it is for its food, making it a good choice for social gatherings.
Anaala Beach Restaurant
Anaalā is a brand-new beach barbeque restaurant offering Thai dishes and traditional barbeque specialities on the pristine sands of Natai Beach at Iniala Beach House.
Natai Seafood by Nava
The restaurant offers a cosy and casual atmosphere, focusing on seafood dishes with a range of options. It remains a favoured option for those seeking reasonably good food in a pleasant setting on Natai Beach.
Rabiang Lay Seafood Restaurant
Loved by those in the know, Rabiang Lay is a simple local restaurant with tables set just steps from the sea. The focus is on fresh seafood prepared in classic Thai style, with prawns, squid, and whole fish grilled or steamed to order. It is unpretentious, affordable, and one of the most authentic dining experiences you can have on Natai Beach.
Local Favourites Near The Beach
Not every memorable meal in Natai is directly on the sand. A short journey inland to Khok Kloi and its surrounding area opens up several restaurants that are popular with locals and visitors alike.
Khok Kloi Bami Tom Yam Khai
This humble noodle shop in Khok Kloi town is celebrated for its spicy tom yam noodle soup. It is a casual spot where you can enjoy fast, affordable, and authentic Thai food, offering a snapshot of everyday dining in the region.
Thanoon Seafood Restaurant
Located near the Sarasin Bridge, Thanoon Seafood has been a favourite for years. With its waterside setting, it offers both atmosphere and freshly caught seafood. Expect large platters, generous portions, and a lively family-friendly environment.
Co-Sea House Thai Food & Beverage
Co-Sea House is a friendly restaurant offering an extensive range of Thai dishes, from curries and stir-fries to seafood specialties. Known for its generous portions and welcoming service, it is a reliable stop for those exploring the area around Natai.
KruChom Kitchen
Fresh seafood, great portions and very reasonably priced. We recommend trying the curry crab, fried rice with crab, Tum Yum, and the roti bread dessert. If you contact the restaurant ahead of time, they can usually arrange for collection from your resort.
Dining Around Natai
- Reserve in advance at beachfront and resort restaurants, particularly during peak season.
- Local restaurants are often walk-in friendly and offer excellent value.
- Many eateries highlight seafood, so it is worth asking about the catch of the day.
- Dress is casual, though resort dining rooms may prefer a slightly smarter look in the evening.
Natai Beach combines the sophistication of beachfront dining with the authenticity of local Thai eateries. At Aleenta Phuket – Phang Nga Resort and Spa, guests enjoy the refined cuisine of The EDGE and Seasons, yet are also within easy reach of family-run seafood spots and lively local restaurants. Whether your idea of the perfect meal is a candlelit dinner on the sand or a steaming bowl of noodles in town, the restaurants of Natai Beach promise to make your stay even more memorable.
