Top Mai Khao Hotel Deals

Make the Most of Your Mai Khao Stay

A strategic base for exploring Thailand's Andaman coast

Mai Khao stretches along 11 kilometers of protected coastline in Sirinat National Park, making it Phuket's longest and most undeveloped beach. The southern end offers the unusual spectacle of aircraft descending just meters overhead before landing at the adjacent international airport, drawing aviation enthusiasts. The northern reaches host luxury resorts set among casuarina groves, where traditional Southern Thai architectural elements blend with contemporary pool villa designs—the island's most tranquil accommodations, far removed from crowded Patong.

Michelin-recognized dining and wellness retreats

The culinary scene reflects a commitment to authenticity and quality. Ta Tauy has earned Michelin recognition for Southern Thai specialties and seasonal seafood, while Toh Daeng operates from a restored 1936 Sino-Portuguese mansion. Turtle Village serves as the area's retail and dining hub. The emerging inland Pru Jampa district focuses on farm-to-table concepts and wellness-oriented living.

Proximity to natural wonders

Mai Khao's northern position provides strategic access to Phang Nga Bay's limestone karsts and the Similan Islands' diving sites, with shorter transfer times than southern beaches. The airport location means you can reach your resort within minutes of landing.
