Whilst Phuket is well-known for its buzzing nightlife, and often busy beaches, Anantara Mai Khao Phuket Villas boasts a tranquil location to the north of the island away from the crowds. With only a small handful of resorts in this area, the sandy beach feels wonderfully secluded, and yet there are plenty of activities available to keep guests busy should they wish.

The hotel's 91 pool villas are set back from the beach, dotted around the resort and beside the lagoon, ensuring plenty of privacy. The decor is inspired by Thai architecture, with spacious indoor and outdoor areas. All of the villas also have good-sized private pools.

Anantara Mai Khao Phuket Villas offers a wide choice of gourmet dining options, including Thai, tapas and seafood barbecue. As well as a lovely beachfront infinity pool, facilities include an excellent spa, bicycles, tennis courts, gym and cooking school. You can even try your hand at Muay Thai with a professional instructor, and there are yoga and aerobics classes. There are also non-motorised watersports, including windsurfing, kayaking and sailing. Families are well catered for, with tailored activities and a great Kids Club.
