SALA Phuket Maikhao Beach Resort

4th time at Sala, I have travelled the world and this is still the only hotel I have been back to for a holiday more than twice! The balance between quality privacy and relaxation is perfect.

We are a youngish well traveled retired coupleWe had a pool Villa which was very comfortable and private. Service is ok. That is largely because we don't speak Thai. Food was good. Location is a long way from everywhere which could be excellent for Honeymoon couple although quite a few children. Beach is amazing. Gym is good

Not a big fan of outside bathrooms and the restaurants were too far from the rooms but I guess the layout calls it

We were blown away by SALA, the property is exceptional and the staff were amazing and very accommodating. The restaurant offering is outstanding in both Thai and Western cuisines and the Spa was also very good. The Mai Khao area is much quieter than other areas on Phuket but has a nice feel to it and suited us (family with a 3 year old) perfectly. Would highly recommend and will definitely return at some stage. Only downsides to the stay was the beach was closed for swimming due to rough waves and there was quite a lot of rubbish washed in from the surf (both outside the resorts control)

SALA Phuket was an amazing stay. The pool villas are well designed and stylish, as well as very private. Waking up every morning and going out the door to swim in a private pool is the best feeling in the world. Night swimming under a chandelier is something out of this world. The small restaurant was good, and the included breakfast was high quality with many options but not an excess. The location is quite convenient to the airport and is very quiet. The beach is beautiful though it was sometimes dirty as it is nearly everywhere on Phuket. Depending on the tides and storm activity it can be covered in plastic trash. However the hotel cleans this, restoring (briefly) the conditions. Taxis into the commercial center of Phuket via Grab app cost about 800 THB and take 30-50 minutes depending on traffic. There’s a nearby shopping area with free shuttle for souvenirs and sundries. All of the staff at SALA were friendly, competent and professional. A super small hotel. Highly recommended.

Really enjoyed our stay here. Quite breathtaking when you walk in and you get a sense of how surreal and peaceful the resort is. Feels like an oasis away from home. Despite the resort being fully booked out, we never felt as though it was crowded. Case in point, we took a stroll to JW Marriott (property next door) and although there was admittedly much more activities and restaurants available for choosing, we were very grateful to be back at Sala at the end of the day. Service level was top notch the entire stay, every interaction felt so natural and friendly. In fact - on our first day, we already decided that we are definitely coming back. Thank you for such a fantastic stay, it was a wonderful break away from the hustle and bustle of city life.

Very nice place. We spent a wonderful time here. Thanks the staff for providing professional services and the food is delicious.

The indoor restaurant was always closed for lunch and dinner and there are too many flies and mosquitoes outside

Beautiful and very clean the food was also delicious

Perfect for a relaxing beach vacation. The property has everything you need from food and drinks, pool, to bikes to go to the shopping mall. Plus the staff is beyond amazing!!! Definitely would stay again.

Second time here and loved it just as much. Private pool villas are amazing. So relaxing being in your private paradise. Included breakfast is amazing - and if you eat later you definitely don’t need lunch. We usually ate supper at one of the fresh seafood restaurants à rive minute walk i

Situated on a beautiful beach in Phuket, the hotel has wonderful grounds amongst the pine trees. The air is sweet, the water sparkling and the overall experience wonderful.

Second stay the last one was in 2017. Hotel looks and feels as it did then! The rooms with pools are luxurious and shut out everything except the blue sky then the stars. A great four day relaxing break from the hustle of work!

Wonderful property with fantastic service, close to the airport, great beach and beautiful pool

Good beach, but too much mosquitos everywhere . Shower, bath and WC are outdoor (you will hear your Neighbors showering) and need to use anti mosquito spay 24/7. Good spa, must visit.

Thank you for all the staff at SALA, particularly Gift & New who took great care of us. Services are amazing with friendly & very helpful staff. Could not thank you enough. You made our stay truly amazing & highly recommended. Although it is a little far from tourist attractions & may cost a fair bit to travel each day but think the quietness & friendly staff made up for this shortcoming. Than you to our drivers too. Much appreciate your hospitality

The staff and location of this property are out of this world

The property is secluded with a private beach, however, the tides were quite strong during our stay. We stayed in a duplex with a private pool. The concept is pretty neat, but the two stories we found, was too much room for a couple. The outdoor bathrooms took getting used to, especially with the fluctuation in temperature from the inside bedroom and living room. The size of the private pool was excellent. Our villa definitely showed its wear and tear. The tile around the pool area was discoloured and chipped in quite a few places. The staff tries their best in keeping the property and villas clean, however, the wear and tear in this villa needs some care or renovation. We had issued with the front door lock which was replaced during our last night of stay. The upstairs door that opens to the outdoor bathroom, took a lot of force to open. If you are not into climbing two flights of stairs, I would not recommend the duplex. The breakfast buffet was very limited and mediocre, compared to other resorts we’ve been to in Phuket. The lunch and dinner food was limited and also mediocre. I would recommend eating off the resort. The spa treatment was really nice and the fitness centre was well kept with nice Life Fitness equipments. Enough to get the job done. Overall, I would try other resorts with the same price range before coming back anytime soon.

It was terrific to return to the Sala Phuket after a number of years and find it as peaceful and tranquil as I remembered. The staff were wonderfully helpful and friendly and the resort clean and exceptionally well maintained. Delicious food. Quick and easy access to the airport. Definitely recommended!

Great private villas, friendly and helpful staff, a peaceful place to stay
