Puri Hiranprueck (ภูริ หิรัญพฤกษ์) Promotes Family's Private Island Near Phuket

Puri Hiranprueck (ภูริ หิรัญพฤกษ์), a Thai celebrity actor and model, has put his family's private island, located just a few minutes by boat off Phuket’s east coast, on Airbnb.

The 4-bedroom Naga Noi Beachfront Villa on Naga Noi Island can accommodate up to eight guests, and features a spacious balcony from which to enjoy views of the surrounding ocean and Phuket in the far distance.

Puri has his grandfather to thank for the idyllic retreat, as he fell in love with the island during a trip there in 1962. From that moment, his grandfather made it one of his goals to purchase it and create his very own family retreat.

“One of the most magical things of staying on the island is waking up to the sunrise, and watching the sun set behind the mountains,” said Puri Hiranprueck. “It’s a truly majestic sight that you will never forget. Also, I love that the beautiful blue waters of the Andaman Sea are just a few steps from the villa.”

While on the island, if guests desire a private barbecue or an exclusive dinner on the beach, the villa offers 24-hour butler service to cater to guests’ needs.

Guests can lounge the day away on their own private stretch of white sandy beach, or enjoy fun water activities such as paddle boarding, sailing, snorkeling and kayaking. Those who want to do a spot of exploring can even kayak to one of the other islands nearby.

“Naga Noi island is the perfect place for guests to unwind and recharge. We are glad to offer guests an opportunity to step away from traditional hotels and have a once-in-a-lifetime experience,” Puri added.

All supplies are sourced from and delivered by the local Ao Por community on the nearby mainland.
