Wow Khao Villas
Pros:

We really loved this hotel. I would put it on par with another favourite hotel of ours which is the one & only in Mauritius- this however is a cheaper option but the standard is equally great.

We had a few hiccups but the hotel dealt with everything so swiftly and professionally (for example, we lost power due to a storm and we were really impressed by the way they dealt with it).

The pools are top class. The food at seafire salt really impressed us, the half board allows you to have fillet steak every night if you wish and the standard of the food is very high. We spoke with the head chef, Iain, on numerous occasions and he’s clearly a very experienced chef (including ex-Gleneagles) - it shows in his food. After eating buratta and steak and chocolate fondant on repeat I’ve come home considerably heavier but very happy !!

If you’re unsure about rooms I recommend the beach villas, they’re very modern and luxurious. The kids club is also very new with friendly staff and a good array of toys and activities. Our kids really loved it. We have travelled widely and we really highly rated this holiday experience. Can’t wait to visit again someday. Thanks to the team at Anantara Mai Khao for creating a really memorable holiday for us.

A truly exceptional experience
Pros:

We spent a wonderful three days celebrating our wedding anniversary in a pool villa at Anantara in Phuket, and the experience truly exceeded our expectations, and everybody made us feel very special. From the moment we arrived and were welcomed by our host, Nina, the level of hospitality was exceptional. The setting is stunning, the lush gardens feel like a botanical garden, beautifully maintained and more impressive than many we have seen around the world. The sense of privacy and tranquility at our villa throughout the property made it easy to fully relax. We also booked a spa package and spent about four hours there, which was one of the best spa experiences we’ve ever had. Our therapists, Oil and Catchy took excellent care of us, and we left feeling completely rejuvenated. Overall, it was an outstanding stay, and we would gladly return.

Gorgeous
Pros:

Quite isolated hotel.
Only a few restaurants- so if thinking of a longer stay you may want to reconsider.
No management presence- no effort was made to meet guests when we stayed there.
There wasn’t much extra activity when we stayed apart from a tasting menu when we arrived. The next advert was for 2 weeks after that which seems a bit long.
Villas are gorgeous.
Very calm and private.
Staff are lovely.
The spa is gorgeous also.
The Japanese Red was the highlight.
Also the small bar underneath. The bar girl was lovely.
We stayed about 5 nights - enough as we were getting bored with the restaurant choices.
Overall a gorgeous hotel but not suitable for a longer stay.

Unique 🙏🙏🙏🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭
Pros:

Dear Team of Anantara Mai Khao Phuket,

Before I leave this beautiful place, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to every single person working here.

Regardless of position or role in the hotel – each of you contributes something precious. Your attention, your smiles, your kindness and your dedication were like medicine for my life.

The hotel itself and its facilities are truly beautiful. But it is the people who transform this place into something much more: a home where one would never want to leave.

I would especially like to thank Suttida, August, and the two wonderful ladies who cleaned my path every day with such care and attentiveness. Your quiet dedication and kindness touched me deeply.

It reminds me of the words sung by Michael Jackson:

„Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you
And for me
And the entire human race“

Your kindness truly does exactly that — it makes the world a better place.

Please forgive me that I cannot name every single person individually. My gratitude belongs to each and every one of you.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You will always have a special place in my heart.

With deep appreciation
Urs

Great Get Away
Pros:

A high end and lovely experience. The location is a true gem and offers a beautiful setting. The front desk crew were amazing and very helpful in directing us to the nice areas and restaurtants to visit and arranged the reservations and transport.

They took us for a tour of the resort to see where the White Lotus was filmed (Wife's favourite). Service is top notch in all the areas from the resturants to the bed service at the beach and pool.

A true gem of a location and service

Amazing
Pros:

From the moment we arrived to the time we left our experience here has been second to none. The friendliness and helpfulness of the staff is absolutely first class.
Sunma and team in the restaurant were just wonderful and perfect. We adore Sunma who always made our day a little more special. I mustn’t forget Petch who was also charming, in fact everyone we came across here, even down to the gardeners, were just so lovely.
The hotel villas were great as were the surrounding grounds. Just loved it here.

A home away from home
Pros:

Fabulous stay, staff were most welcoming. In particular Ju, who was most helpful throughout our stay and when we needed to unexpectedly extend our stay due to the Middle East conflict. She ensured that we had a great experience throughout.

The 2 bed suite was perfect for our family needs. A home away from home!

Would definitely recommend for a relaxing break away from the hustle and bustle of life.

Pros:

We experienced a really good stay.
With the help of our villa assistant - Poy, that gave a really high standard service.
She is a real professional and because of this person and her excellent work we are ready to come back again and again the same place.

Anantara Mai Khao Pool Villas- Unforgettable Luxury!
Pros:

As someone from Delhi craving a true tropical escape, our stay at Anantara Phuket Mai Khao was nothing short of magical!
The serene beachfront, with its powdery white sand and turquoise sea views, felt like stepping into a postcard. The resort’s elegant Thai-inspired design, lush gardens, and private pool villas (or suites) offered the perfect blend of privacy and indulgence—we loved our spacious room with the outdoor pool, soaking tub, and those thoughtful touches like fresh fruit and sweets and amazing amenities.
The infinity pool was a highlight, the spa treatments were rejuvenating, and the dining options and the bubbly breakfast spread were delicious and varied. Everything felt luxurious yet relaxed, ideal for unwinding after a busy year.
What truly elevated our experience was the exceptional service, particularly from Mr. Sunny. He was incredibly warm, attentive, and went out of his way to make our stay special—whether helping with restaurant reservations, suggesting beach spots, night markets, arranging a transportation, or just checking in with genuine smiles and care. His proactive help and friendly personality made us feel so welcomed and valued, like we had a personal host looking after us. Staff like Mr. Sunny are the heart of Anantara Phuket Mai Khao!

Amazing Stay at Anantara Hotel – Highly Recommended!
Pros:

Our stay at the Anantara hotel became one of the most memorable experiences of our trip to Thailand. From the moment we arrived, we felt the attention to detail, the high level of service, and the warmth with which the hotel team cared for my family.
Our family would also like to express our deepest gratitude to Sunny — the reception desk assistant and our personal assistant.
Sunny truly elevated our stay with exceptional professionalism, warmth, and genuine care. From the very first moment, Sunny was attentive to every detail, helped with all of my requests, and always approached everything with a friendly and positive attitude. His thoughtful recommendations, quick responses, and eagerness to help made our trip smoother and more enjoyable. We are sincerely grateful to Sunny for making our stay even more memorable and pleasant — this level of service truly exceeded all expectations.

Hope to see Sunny again when we come again.

Thank you 😊
