About the SALA Phuket Mai Khao Beach Resort

Mai Khao is the stretch of Phuket coastline that most travelers simply fly past – and that's precisely what makes it so special. Eleven kilometers of sandy beach in the far northwest of the island, almost deserted, and this Sino-Portuguese-style resort with enclosed courtyards and private pools behind the villa walls. Just 15 minutes from the airport, it's one of the few places on the island where you won't spend your first or last night in an airport hotel overlooking a parking lot.

If you're looking for a vibrant nightlife with bars and a selection of twenty restaurants, you're in the wrong place in Phuket and will spend a lot of time in taxis. But if you prefer peace and quiet, this is the place for you. The pool bar on the beach and the rooftop terrace with its sunset views are perfect for relaxing evenings. Even in winter, turtles nest here – a testament to the low number of visitors.

    Tips for visiting hotels and resorts

    Compare the rates of online travel agencies and direct providers.

    After finding a deal on Agoda or Booking.com, you should always check the hotel's own website as well. Many Thai hotels offer a best price guarantee or extras like free breakfast when booking directly.

    Location is more important than the stars

    A well-located 3-star hotel is often better than a remote 5-star resort. In Bangkok, proximity to a BTS or MRT station saves hours; on islands, proximity to the desired beach is crucial.
