5 Star Resort on Mai Khao Beach
Renaissance Phuket Resort and Spa is one of the most luxurious resorts in Mai Khao Beach, an endless, unspoiled beach in the northern part of Phuket. Renaissance is the perfect place to escape crowded beaches and tourist frenzy. Despite the common belief that Phuket is a busy island, there are some beautiful beaches you won’t have to share with anyone but your own shadow!

Overview
Renaissance Phuket Resort and Spa is not very far from Phuket Airport, and if you happen to live in Asia, you can hop on a plane, reach there in minutes and reward yourself with a lazy weekend without having to see a tuk-tuk or a tailor!
To enjoy your stay at the hotel, hang out in your pool villa for the lucky ones, which has plenty of space and a very private garden, or pick a lounger by the large pool near the beach. The beach is spotless as it is a national park, so it is all yours for a long, romantic stroll at sunset. We didn’t get a pool villa, but a superior room. All facilities are as you would expect from a Renaissance Resort: plenty of seating areas, sofas and working tables, and many plugs for connected people like us.
The Rooms
The rooms come with a large bed, a large balcony (not facing the sea, though), a big bathroom with all the amenities you need, a big TV with free movie channels, a safe box, a hairdryer, etc.
Internet, wireless, and cable are available in all rooms, free for Marriott members. The resort’s facilities include a vast kids club and its oversized fancy pool, and a small water slide, so the parents can spend the day playing with the small ones without worries for other guests.
The Spa
Do yourself this favour: treat yourself to the resort’s excellent and beautifully designed spa. A spa treatment is the best way to slow down from your crazy week of work and start enjoying your holiday. As usual, if you see a rainy day, book early, as it is the first thing everyone does on a rainy day!
The Restaurants
Enjoy no less than three restaurants, all beautifully designed and serving excellent and creative cuisine. ‘Sandbox‘ near the beach is a sandbox as the floor is sand! Great for pizzas, original recipes, and salads at any time. Above ‘Sandbox’ is ‘Takieng’, a friendly Thai restaurant that is open only for dinner. ‘Loca Vore’ opens for all three meals, and ‘Doppio’ is an excellent little coffee shop deli that serves ice cream and cakes all day.
The most important meal is breakfast. We didn’t often see such a vast breakfast buffet among the hotels we visited! There is so much to choose from; it is almost painful to decide what to eat. As you can expect from a five-star resort, the staff is attentive and genuinely cares about the guests.
Sand Box Beachfront Bar & Eatery
Sand Box Beachfront Bar & Eatery offers an unforgettable toes-in-the-sand dining experience. Satisfy your cravings with a wide range of offerings—from handcrafted cocktails and pizzas to pasta, grilled delights, and international comfort favorites. Don’t miss out on our unique special menu of the day.
Takieng Thai Restaurant
Takieng serves classic Thai and Phuket’s favourite dishes; each dish is crafted to pay tribute to the authenticity of Thai flavours. The extensive menu highlights the freshest and finest local ingredients from both the sea and the farm, including Sarasin prawns and Mole crabs.
Loca Vore
Dine alfresco with a stunning lagoon view or linger indoors at Loca Vore restaurant. They offer a great breakfast, featuring a selection of international comfort favourites. Experience the vibrant energy of a local fresh market and enjoy in the special dish of the day, prepared to perfection.

Summary
Renaissance Phuket Resort and Spa is a great luxury resort if you want to enjoy the relaxing side of a tropical island and still have the option to drive to discover the restless nights of Patong Beach.
With so many restaurants and outlets, you can choose to chill in the resort or use it as a base for the magnificent wonders of Phang Nga Bay. You are just halfway between both worlds. If you plan to stay long and wish to explore more of the island, you can rent a car or ask the reception to organise almost anything for you.
