SALA Phuket Mai Khao Beach Resort

Absolute privacy, stunning Mai Khao beach (even though swimming was restricted due to weather) and ultra-welcoming staff.

My wife and I chose Mai Khao for a quiet retreat so Sala was ideal. For families/couples seeking access to shopping or bustling eateries may find themselves dependent on the shuttle service - but this was offered gratis and was quite frequent!

I loved the villa I stayed in. It is a great set up. All the staff were really friendly and always helpful. The food was great.

The villas have the toilets outdoors which is a problem in the night. If you frequently have to go to the toilet. That’s my only complaint.🙏🏻

Absolutely loved our stay. The resort is incredibly peaceful and therapeutic, making it the perfect place to unwind. The boxing and Muay Thai classes were exceptional and were the highlight of the trip for my teenage son. There were a lot of thoughtful touches beyond the regular resort, like a sarong and sun hat in the room, personalized scented soaps and lotions, and bicycles (We only discovered the complimentary bicycles on our last day and wish we had found them sooner). The staff were consistently warm, supportive, and eager to help, which made the experience even more enjoyable. We would happily stay here again.

The open-air bathroom was iconic and a memorable design feature. That said, sitting on the toilet while the balcony curtain occasionally flapped open to reveal the garden below was a little unnerving. Some moments really deserve the privacy of a proper door. The only other challenge was that communication could occasionally be difficult, as some staff members had limited English proficiency. Everyone was friendly and genuinely eager to help, but improving English communication would make the guest experience even smoother.
