Sala Phuket is where contemporary chic meets uncluttered sophistication.

There’s no doubt that Phuket is Thailand’s most idyllic destination when it comes to lush, turquoise-hued beaches, jungle-clad mountains, and coastal retreats. It’s not just a cultural melting pot, but a long-standing holiday hotspot and the country’s biggest island blessed with over 30 stunning beaches and bays. In the midst of Phuket’s picturesque resorts, international brands, and ultra-luxury destinations, Sala Phuket has been named among “The Best Hotels in Phuket'' by Condé Nast Traveller, and we can see why.

Sala Phuket Mai Khao Beach Resort flaunts a historic, Sino-Portuguese architecture painted with the island's trade history making it an enticing resort for visitors to indulge in the ultimate luxury experience. The Thai-owned brand holds great pride in their small collection of properties that offers the best of Thailand’s tourism with these noteworthy elements -- classical architecture, white-washed sanctuary, and reputed spa and gastronomic art. 

The Location

The five-star resort tucked away into the northern edge of the pristine Mai Khao national park, is a perfect spot for a serene and quiet getaway. The resort is situated just 20 minutes from the Phuket International Airport, making it easily accessible to Old Phuket Town, Blue Canyon Golf Course, and Phang Nga Bay. From outdoor adventures like jet skis and kayaks to indoor activities like Thai boxing and cooking classes at the resort, there’s something for everyone. Wedding bells ringing?
