Anantara Mai Khao Phuket Villas

Add to wishlist Contact us

Resembling a traditional southern Thai village, the Anantara Mai Khao is in northern Phuket and home to 91 beautifully designed villas, sitting on a long stretch of beach.

With various villa types everyone is well catered for from one bedroom villas to pool villas sleeping up to six, perfect for families. The choice of restaurants includes the unique Tree House, which wraps itself around an old banyan tree. The Anantara Spa has open-air treatment rooms, the secluded M Beach Club offers an Ibiza vibe and children are catered for at the Jakka Kids Club.

Why we like Anantara Mai Khao Phuket Villas
