Naithon Beach is one of Phuket’s less-discovered treasures, and Pullman Phuket Arcadia commands a privileged position on the small hill touching its northern end. This elevated location offers the best of both worlds: easy access to the beach and stunning ocean views from its decks and most guest rooms.

For weddings, the Banyan Tree Deck provides a breathtaking ceremony setting, offering sweeping panoramic views of the Andaman Sea. The Andaman Sunset deck emerges as the natural progression for receptions, providing a backdrop of spectacular sunsets and starlit skies.

For smaller gatherings, the charming deck next to Vero restaurant offers an intimate and elegant setting. Its close connection to the restaurant provides a smooth transition from ceremony to reception. The property also offers several unique spaces for pre-dinner cocktails and after-parties, each with its own charm. A personal visit is recommended to fully explore the possibilities and find the ideal venue combination.
