NAVANA NATURE ESCAPE,
Thailand

Conceptualised from the ground up, Navana Nature Escape, Phuket, was envisaged as a premium hotel where guests revel in artistry while enjoying the comforts of home. As a proud collector of art pieces, the owner wanted guests to escape the frenzy of city life into a more peaceful setting replete with evocative artworks.

Like an art piece, the design traces the story of a fisherman and his daily activities from dawn to dusk. Their journeys to the ocean begin through the wavy slats of the lobby, which presents a cozy outdoor hangout area. A staircase leads down to the dining room, with a full 360-degree ocean view. Decorated with ropes, it further spins the tale, framing a perfect view of the sunset come evening.

All the rooms feature panoramic sea views and pieces from the owner’s private art collection provide visual points of interest.
