Anantara Mai Khao Phuket Villas
Anantara Mai Khao Phuket Villas opened in 2008 inside Sirinat National Park, on Mai Khao Beach in the far north of the island. It has 83 pool villas set in lagoon gardens by Bill Bensley, and it is about 15 minutes from the airport.
The resort's restaurants include Sea Fire Salt, a beachfront grill with a salt sommelier, and Tiffin by La Sala for Indian food. Mai Khao is Phuket's longest beach and one of its quietest, but you'll need a car to reach the restaurants elsewhere on the island.
Guest Reviews
I had the best holiday at this resort. Everything was flawless from start to finish. As a GHA Titanium member, I was double upgraded to a generously sized pool villa which made our stay so memorable. The staff are extremely attentive to our needs and requests. Check-in and check-out were both very smooth. The bugee drivers were friendly and gave us great activity recommendations. I particularly enjoyed the easy access to the beach and the fully equipped gym. Also the Lotus dinner set at La Sala is a must try!
Our family had a flawless stay at Anantara Mai Khao Phuket Villas. We booked a 2-bedroom suite with breakfast included, which was incredibly spacious and luxurious. The service was top-tier. Housekeeping cleaned and tidied our room twice a day, and fresh towels were provided daily. The breakfast buffet was exceptional, offering a fantastic and high-quality selection. The resort is perfect for families—our kids absolutely loved spending time in the teen room and playing on the tennis courts. Combined with the beautiful, peaceful atmosphere of Mai Khao Beach, it was the ultimate vacation. Highly recommended!
Spent 3 nights in a 2-bedroom villa with my family, and the kids really loved the place. The villa itself was spacious and very well equipped, including a washer and dryer, which made it very convenient since we didn’t need to send clothes out for laundry. Breakfast was one of the highlights, especially the Thai selection. The crab curry with noodles really stood out. During our stay, we also tried the floating breakfast, which was a nice experience, although it’s quite hard to eat properly while in the pool. There were plenty of activities available throughout the resort. The kids club was excellent, with staff who took great care of our children while they joined the various activities prepared for them. We also enjoyed the scheduled resort activities as a family, including a fun ice bath challenge in the pool one afternoon and a movie night on Saturday, which my daughter especially enjoyed. All the staff we interacted with were friendly, helpful, and attentive. The only downside is that there are no nearby local restaurants, so we mostly ordered through Grab, which was still convenient and worked well for us. Overall, thank you for a memorable stay and a family holiday that’s truly one for the books.
A truly 5* hotel, from hotel amenities to level of service from managerial staff to even the lovely buggy drivers, always meeting you with a smile and wanting to do more for you. The grounds are simply amazing, the infinity pool is stunning. One area of improvement would be that the breakfast range was limited in our opinion. And do note that the hotel is in north Phuket, whilst the popular areas are in southern Phuket. It was a truly memorable stay.
Recent four night stay in one of the pool villas. The villa itself clean, comfortable with a decent sized pool and sala. Room wise, an enjoyable stay. The hotel has a number of restaurant options and to be fair the food quality in all of them that I tried was very acceptable. The Japanese restaurant surprised me somewhat, it was actually very enjoyable, which is not what I was expecting. In addition the hotel has three separate bar areas which makes for a interesting change of environment. However, in my view, what sets this hotel apart from many others I have stayed at in Phuket is the quality of the staff. Knowledgeable, cheerful, attentive to your needs without being overbearing. Superb. I would definitely plan on returning here on my next trip to Phuket if only to be greeted (always by name) by the delightful breakfast staff.
