Stayed here for 3 nights in the last week of June. There is a confusion, I see many reviews where guests have said that they booked in one property but the room was given in the adjacent area. During booking the location of the room is clearly mentioned in their website depending on the room category and on 3rd party websites it is mentioned as ‘as across the road ‘ it’s absolutely our responsibility to read and understand. Our room category was located in Avani plus, which is just across. Check in was fast, we requested for an early checkin and they obliged. Room was spacious but for that price you will get a bigger room in phuket in a branded hotel. Rooms are old and visibly aged. They need an upgrade. Our room had a washing machine and dryer which was of great use. The pool in our villa was small good for the kids to play around. Beachside pool is big and very well maintained can spend a lot of time there. We are vegetarian, breakfast was not great, in general the selection was lesser compared to other luxury hotels. Food taste has a lot of scope for improvement. For one night we booked dinner by design which is their concept designed dinner. We opted for a beachside dinner, couldn’t do it due to bad weather. We were shifted to wine tasting room. We opted for vegan meal, basically it was the only vegetarian option available. Over priced with poor selection of items and tasteless food. Not worth the price at all. This was is let down. Location of the resort is great, very close to the airport just a 15 minutes drive. It’s secluded and the resort has direct access to Mai Khao beach. If you’re a first time visitor to phuket may be this is not the best place as it’s far always from everything touristy. If you’re looking for a secluded resort with privacy this is a good option. The beach is fabulous not crowded at all, you can have all the private time you wish to. Dream was our private villa host and kudos to her she was very attentive and responded quickly. Overall it was a pleasant stay and may be we’ll return back just for the location.

We stayed in the Pool Villa within Anantara Mai Khao's Phuket villas for our honeymoon and we absolutely loved our stay and would really loved to stay longer. The service was really great from the time we arrived. Ivy helped us check in smoothly and gave us a great tour of the resort and the amenities. She even arranged cycles for us to easily access areas of the resort. Thank you Ivy 🙏.
The breakfast had a great variety and we really enjoyed it and managed to sight the in house monitor lizards.
The villa we stayed in was great and comfortable, it had all the facilities we would have generally expected and is top notch, we loved the pool in the villa, it was clean and beautiful. The bed was really comfortable as well.
The hotel had easy access to the beach and we enjoyed it.
Overall we had no issues with the service, the staff were really friendly and it was an amazing and memorable stay.
Thank you team Anantara for making our stay pleasant and memorable. It was truly an unforgettable experience 😃

A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveller reviews.
We just finished our stay for 5 nights for our honeymoon. The resort is beautiful and our Pool Villa with Private Dining Sala was spacious and stocked full of amenities!
Mr. Sunny checked us in and was delightful and welcoming. He gave us a tour of the resort and our Villa and informed us that we would have a villa attendant that we could communicate with on Whatsapp. Our Villa attendant was Poy and she went above and beyond to make our stay as special as possible. She was always quick to respond to our requests like timing for housekeeping or making dining reservations. She even arranged to send me ginger tea that wasn't even on the in-room dining menu when I wasn't feeling well and checked in on me the next morning to see how I was doing!
Upon arrival to the villa our bed was decorated with flowers and swan towels and we were also gifted with a cake and chocolates and a bottle of champagne as a welcome for our honeymoon. It was truly special and we felt so welcome and cared for!
The staff were all so kind. Everyone greeted us at all the restaurants and we especially loved the ladies at breakfast who were so sweet and kind and remembered us by room #! And the breakfast buffet was very extensive with so many options I didn't have enough days to try them all.
The villa was stocked with plenty of amenities including postcards to mail, a drawing sketchbook, mosquito repellent, after sun lotion, and lavender pillow mist. We were also impressed by the soap menu with 4 different options to try and the pillow menu that featured at least 6 different pillows. This was very helpful for me since the standard pillow was a little too soft for me but Poy had a memory foam pillow delivered right away!
Having our own private pool in the villa was a huge perk and the pool was a lot bigger than we had expected and even featured a bench inside to sit on. The spa was also one of the nicest I've been to with incredibly designed rooms and expert massage staff. We enjoyed body scrubs and tradition Thai massages in one of their couples rooms that was again stocked with amenities.
We highly recommend this resort and it's incredible staff!

I would like to share my fondest memories of our stay at Anantara Mai Khao Villas. We spent 11 unforgettable days here. We lived in a villa in close proximity to restaurants and the beach, which was very convenient with a child. We had a personal assistant named Minnie, and every day she wondered if we were okay? Thanks to it, everything was solved instantly (Buggy Order, Restaurant Reservation, etc.). The hotel has amazing breakfasts, a very friendly collective, I want to mention Maya who always after breakfast offered fresh mangoes. At my request, they always made a fancy cappuccino on coconut milk into a paper glass to enjoy on the way back to the villa after breakfast. Every night for dinner at the Sea Solt Fire restaurant we were served by a charming Bonus girl who is always recommended dishes worth trying, the service was up to scratch! We had half board power and we never regretted it. You can choose from 4 restaurants either lunch or dinner! The kitchen is above all praise, we tasted a lot of things. Guests can use the hotel nearby, my daughter and I enjoyed our time in the children's area of the Anantara vacation club. The rooms are cleaned and replenished twice a day, the pool is cleaned every day with water samples taken. When leaving for the villa brought a compliment from the hotel - chocolate cake, it was very nice. At the final dinner, they brought dessert from the hotel with wishes to return here. The hotel has a Russian-speaking manager, Ksenia, with whom it has always been very nice to talk, she recommended what to see and where to go! If you are looking for privacy, relaxation, perfect service, delicious cuisine, then you definitely need to come here! Our family would like to express their great gratitude to all the hotel staff for their impeccable work, you have made our holiday unforgettable! We will definitely come back ♥️

I normally don't do reviews. Anantara Mai Khao Phuket is an absolute delight and must recommend with best prices and offers - for a 5 star. Prompt with their responses before booking via their app. Greeted warmly by Mr. Aziz, Guest experience manager and what an experience from this gentleman always willing to accommodate any requests and patiently listening and checking on us daily and ensuring a smooth experience through our stay. We booked the pool villa but they kindly upgraded us to the Lagoon Pool Villa. The attention to details inside the room with small things like flip flops, beach bags, plus an after sun lotion etc are normally not things u find in every hotel unless u ask for it. Every night turn down service, there is a new type of pillow, spotless cleaning. Anantara has definitely made me and my wife happy again and we are sure to come back, next time with kids. We have already stayed at their property in Dubai in Palm Islands. Anantara has never disappointed. Aziz deserves a special mention once again for making this trip extra special.

We stayed at Anantara Mai Khao villas, for 4 days for our friends trip. The villa we booked was two bedrooms with a pool and it was simply fabulous. The layout was spacious with one room being bigger and having a master bathroom and the second room was smaller with a smaller bathroom. But both room were spacious, the living space opened out to a decent size pool that was adequate for dipping. The kitchenette had all the essentials and there was a large center table for placing Knick knacks and food service. The icing on the cake was the outdoor shower that made the villa feel glam. So outside common pools were lovely and well spaced and the entire property is beautifully curated and landscaped. It is so pretty that one honestly doesn’t feel like leaving the hotel. The hospitality was exceptional, we had a great butler service that was polite, responsive and caring. They took care of all our outside excursions and no request was too big or small. So I would highly recommend the place for its beautiful property and warm hospitality. The only negative was that the quality of the local food was average, we mostly ate at the main restaurant where the food was good but not exciting as such. Besides that I would highly recommend this place for any type of group.

This review is for Anantara Resorts, Mai Khoi Phuket Thailand. Our family of 3 generations spent Thanksgiving week at this resort. We had booked a 4 bedroom villa with 2 private pools. The property is spacious and the grounds and villas are very well maintained. There are several restaurants which are open for lunch and dinner as well as a café which served breakfast. The buffet breakfast was truly sumptuous with dishes from many parts of the world. The food at the other restaurants was delicious too. When they knew we were celebrating Thanksgiving they set up a special table with decorations and a special Thai Menu for us. The wait staff in the various restaurants do a great job of anticipating your needs. When we checked in we were assigned a ‘personal butler’. Our Butler who’s name is Gift is a true Gem. She went above and beyond her scope of duties in helping us from catering to finicky young eaters to arranging horse riding lessons from a nearby stable. She even helped us in ordering room service and making sure the food was delivered quickly. Always smiling and always there for you even on her day off. The housekeeping staff was also very good and would clean and straighten the place in quick time. Ever smiling and always ready to deliver even a single bottle of water whenever needed. What I really liked about the villa was the layout. It was like two 2 bedroom villas with sitting room and pool that were joined together. So if you wanted some peace and quiet you could retire to your part of the villa. Each villa was equipped with a full size fridge, microwave, hobs, and plates and cutlery. There was a coffee maker and Tetra asks of UHT milk. It also had a full size washer and dryer. I would certainly recommend this resort and hope to return there myself.

We rested in March 2024 at the Anantara hotel and received wonderful emotions from the entire vacation. I chose the hotel largely by chance - the travel agent suggested it to us among others, after studying and reading reviews we settled on this hotel and have never regretted it. The hotel is very green, the area is large, it’s about 20 minutes from the airport. They checked us in immediately upon passing, although it was before 2 p.m., maybe because we were with a child. We had a villa called Pool Pavilion - very large, well equipped with everything you need, its own pool, gazebo in the yard. For me and my 3-year-old son, it was very convenient, since there is a kitchen - a stove, a microwave, a large refrigerator, a washing machine and, attention, a drying machine (never seen in hotels), a kettle and a coffee maker of course. They cleaned well 2 times a day - after breakfast there was a lot of cleaning, in the evening they washed the dishes, made the bed, etc. You can drive around the territory in electric cars, which you order by calling the reception. Mai Khao beach is good, not many people, sunbeds from the hotel are free, you can order food or a cocktail directly to the sunbed. The breakfasts are varied, in 2 weeks we didn’t get tired of them, which is convenient - the food is brought according to the menu, you don’t have to stand and wait for an omelet or scrambled eggs to be prepared, the coffee at breakfast is delicious. In the evening we went to either the La Sala restaurant or the Sea Fire Solt restaurant - food needs to be booked, but the food is amazingly delicious - grilled fish (salmon, tuna, sea bass, king prawns, etc.). The service is very responsive, everything is done quickly, orders are not forgotten, everyone is friendly and smiling. In a word, we definitely want to return to this hotel, it is suitable for a relaxing holiday, since any excursions or trips to other beaches and attractions take at least an hour. Otherwise everything is very good.

We stayed here in Anantara Villas for a week as a family of four.
The location and ambience is excellent. Feels very tranquil with most rooms being villas, but with some very nice social areas, and a beachside pool area which is very chilled. Excellent variety of hotel-based restaurants including “the treehouse “ , a top class omakase restaurant.
The Villas are very well air conditioned , and comfortable bed. Villa pools are excellent size. Always cleaned to a very high standard.
Our “personal assistant/ butler”, Minnie was extremely helpful to arrange some great tours, restaurant reservations , as well as arrange a late check out. All staff here are extremely friendly and helpful, so a big thanks to them.
Would definitely recommend to others looking for somewhere further afield for a half term break
