 SALA Phuket Mai Khao Beach Resort 

Find your happy place

A stylish and contemporary retreat on a quiet stretch of a glorious golden beach.

SALA Phuket Mai Khao Beach Resort is the epitome of sophistication, tucked away in a remote area of Phuket. Its location on the golden Mai Khao Beach, the longest beach in Phuket at almost seven miles long, is its winning feature. It’s part of the Sirinat National Park, which encompasses quiet beaches and a small mangrove forest rich with wildlife. And the best part of Mai Khao Beach is its yearly visitors – sea turtles who nest on the beach from November to February.

Why we love SALA Phuket Mai Khao Beach Resort

  • It’s in Sirinat National Park, which has beaches where turtles nest, mangroves where kingfishers dart and pristine coral reefs

  • You can savour the tranquillity of the coastal setting with options such as yoga on the sand and a 100 Candle beachfront dinner

  • The spa is a sleek haven with an appealing list of plant-based treatments to detoxify, scrub and massage away all your stresses

  • Its stylish dining options include dinner on the rooftop, where a reflection pool flows around each booth for a tranquil experience

Just returned from a two week holiday in Thailand which included 7 Nights stay at the SALA Phuket Mai Khoa Resort. We had the most wonderful and relaxing time at this hotel. It is a quiet and relaxing hotel with two beautiful pools that overlook a sandy beach. The sea water is very warm and lovely to swim in. The hotel rooms are immaculately clean and very relaxing/comfortable. All the staff at the hotel were friendly and helpful. Morning Breakfast's in the restaurant overlooking the beach and sea made every morning special. It was also enjoyable to eat in the restaurant in the evening and enjoy the marvellous sun sets! Without doubt one of the best hotels we have stayed in. Thanks again to all the staff that helped us have a great stay in Phuket!
