Location

The resort sits on Mai Khao Beach in northwest Phuket, part of Sirinat National Park. It’s 20 minutes from the airport, making it convenient for arrivals, but 45-60 minutes from Phuket’s main tourist areas like Patong, Kata, and Phuket Town. The beach stretches 11 kilometres with minimal development. The southern end runs along the airport flight path, and planes fly overhead during landings.

The area is protected parkland, which keeps it natural but also means limited infrastructure beyond the handful of resorts here. Turtle Village shopping centre is 10 minutes by car. Splash Jungle Water Park is 4.4 kilometres away. Beyond that, there’s not much within walking distance. No beach clubs, no street vendors, no nearby restaurants outside the resorts.

What You Get

Melia Phuket Mai Khao has 100 rooms across suites and villas. Suites start at 78 square metres with outdoor bathtubs and terraces. Villas are 85 square metres with private pools, semi-outdoor bathrooms, open-air showers, and outdoor bathtubs. The design is modern with neutral tones and angular lines mixed with natural materials. There are two outdoor pools, a kids pool, a fitness centre, and a full-service spa offering Thai massage and body treatments.

Melia Phuket Mai Khao provides free bicycles for getting around the property. Kids club is available for families. All rooms have air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, a minibar, and Wi-Fi. The beach is directly accessible from the resort. It’s unspoilt and quiet, but swimming is not recommended during the monsoon season (May to October) due to strong waves and currents.

Dining

Two restaurants on-site. GAIA serves California-style cuisine. Sasa offers Thai and international dishes. Two bars provide drinks, including a swim-up bar at the pool. Breakfast is typically buffet-style with additional fees if not included in your rate. Since the resort is isolated, you’ll be eating here for most meals unless you arrange transport to Turtle Village or other areas.

Who It Works For

Melia Phuket Mai Khao works for families wanting a quiet beach resort holiday and couples looking for relaxation away from crowds. The beach setting, pools, and kids’ club suit families. The villas with private pools work for honeymooners who want privacy. The remote location is the main factor. If you want a self-contained resort experience where you stay on property for 4-5 days without needing nightlife or varied dining, this delivers. Free bicycles, beach access, and resort activities keep you occupied.

This doesn’t work if you want easy access to Patong nightlife, shopping, or Phuket’s southern beaches. Day trips are possible but involve 45+ minutes of travel each way. It also doesn’t work if you are budget-friendly. The isolation means peace, but also means insects due to the forest setting.

The isolation means peace on one of Phuket’s least developed beaches. You’re paying luxury prices for a secluded location that genuinely keeps you away from tourist crowds, with direct beach access and modern facilities in a protected natural setting.
