SALA Phuket Mai Khao Beach Resort

We stayed in a villa with private pool. The villa was very nicely decorated and comfortable. The private pool was huge and very clean. The outdoor shower might not by everyone’s taste, but we liked it. The outdoor lounge by the pool, was in the shade and comfy. The entire resort is well maintained and looks beautiful. Amazing food in the restaurant! We didn’t plan to eat there every night but ended up doing just that. Every dish we ordered was extra ordinary and mouthwatering. We can highly recommend Sala Phuket. The only “downside” - but we just mention it because we think a policy like this is really not common in Thailand - is that the prices are given net on the menu, 17 % in total are added at the end. Even though this policy is transparently flagged, we found it a bit irritating and definitely not necessary.

This side Madhu My stay at Hotel Sala Phuket Mai Phuket was nothing short of spectacular. The hotel's elegant design, combined with its top-notch amenities, made for a truly relaxing and enjoyable experience".

Location on Mai Khao was awesome, perfect beach with great views and the sea. Plane viewpoint was about 10-15 minutes drive from the hotel. Shuttle buse to Turtle Village was a great add-on. Service was very good, all the requests were handled via application. Pools are really cool with nice water and there was always possibility to use cabanas and sunbeds for our comfort. Kids also enjoyed Sala farm and usage of bicycles.

Everything about the hotel was excellent from being picked from airport on arrival to our departure. 99% of the staff are amazing they can't do enough for you. Their greetings are genuine and sincere. The villa was well equipped clean cool and the outside bathroom brilliant. The restaurant will cater for your every need they cooked separate dishes for my partner at breakfast which was greatly appreciated. The pool in the villa is of a good size and not just a plunge pool but if you wanted a longer swim the hotel pool is quite long and there is the sea if you want. The beach is very long and sandy and turtles lay their eggs there. Special mention to Beautiful Oh who helped with car hire, restaurant recomedations, places to visit and resolving my only issue whilst there in fact all the girls on reception were brilliant.I would recommend hiring a car as it is a fair way to any attractions or larger towns taxis are available and provide good service but i liked the freedom of having my own transport. The room is cleaned daily and is restocked with water etc and the room is turned down each evening and mosquito deterent turned on. You are given a pillow menu and soap choice when checking in and its those little things that helps make it all a bit special.

The villas were amazing - most of the hotel is made up of the villas and it’s really unique in that sense. The huge space you get and pool all to yourself is just really special. The bed etc was really comfortable and we loved staying there and were sad to leave. As someone who gets really annoyed by sand sticking to you when sunbathing, having grass by the main pool area was a game changer and the two pools are amazing, huge and clean. There is a great bar selling lunch and snacks options which were fab (truffle arancini…!!!) and sunbeds were really comfy. Breakfast is excellent - buffet with egg station etc and great a la carte options incl avocado toast and eggs. We only stayed a few nights so did just eat at the hotel those nights and it was beautiful - really peaceful and they had live music on both nights. Great international and Thai options. The spa is fantaaaaastic, with excellent prices. location is only 20min from Phuket airport but you wouldn’t know it at all! The hotel has direct access to a stunning beach which was really lovely and quiet and great for going on leisurely walks. Would definitely recommend staying here a few nights.
