Anantara Mai Khao Phuket Villas

I’ll visit Anantara often, it’s a great hotel where you can enjoy a peaceful stay. Great privacy and the staff is really Polite. I’ve had a great stay I would like to give a special thanks to pookie for looking after me.

found it expensive probably due to peak season , but enjoyed my vacation, excellent property and hospitality. would recommend to all

Good hotel - kids friendly and good location. Service was overall good - can be a little busy at the pool bar so take a bit longer. Also getting a buggy can be a bit of waiting time process but would recommend overall given the location, the service and overall performance.

The service was smooth and seamless from arrival until departure. The staff in the restaurants were excellent and well-trained. Do not forget to visit the newly renovated Sea Fire Salt restaurant; dinner was good and offered beautiful sunset views. Sunny from reception provided us a warm welcome and a lot of information about The White Lotus while driving a buggy to the restaurant. Can't wait to visit there again.

Relaxed vacation here, like a paradise. The service was excellent and professional, especially Sunny from reception. He was kind and attentive to all the details and requests from the guests. He always welcomed us with his warm smile every time.

Sunny truly elevated our stay with his exceptional butler service. From the very beginning, he was attentive, professional, and genuinely warm in his approach. Every request was handled promptly and with care, often even before we had to ask. What stood out most was Sunny’s attention to detail and his sincere desire to ensure our comfort at all times. He anticipated our needs, offered thoughtful recommendations, and maintained a calm, friendly presence that made the experience feel effortless and personalized. Sunny is a true asset to the hotel and a wonderful example of what excellent hospitality should be. Thanks to him, our stay was seamless, memorable, and extremely enjoyable. We are truly grateful for his outstanding service.

An excellent stay at the Anantara Mai khao. It’s a beautiful location and perfect for exploring the islands off Phuket (organised by the hotel and the definite highlight of our trip). The inter connecting pool villas are amazing but it’s important to stay on the beach side of the resort rather than over the road in the pavilion villas which feel like a different resort and are close to the busy road. Sunny our butler was fantastic and nothing was too much trouble for him to organise. The staff at Sala were also fantastic (especially Toy, Gib and Au who were so kind and really looked after us). The food at Sea, fire, Salt is epic. All in all a wonderful trip and we cannot wait to return and enjoy Thailand some more.

Excellent services and staff especially JU whose smile and service was outstanding i highly recommend the hotel and try their Thai Food

We stayed as a family of three adults, one child and one baby in a two-bedroom pool pavilion, and the experience was genuinely outstanding. I’ve stayed in many good hotels, but this is one of the few where the staff truly take care of you. It never felt forced or scripted — just sincere, thoughtful hospitality throughout our stay. A special mention first to Dinesh and Indika, the F&B director team. They are visible, present, and incredibly personable. Warm, conversational, and welcoming, they set the tone for the entire experience and clearly care deeply about their guests. Always smiling, always engaged — they feel more like family than management. The breakfast team deserves huge credit. Titi, alongside Fatima, Farida and Aoon, were absolutely brilliant. There were many others too who’s names I cannot recall. They quickly got to know us, remembered our preferences, pre-set our table, and looked after us beautifully each morning. What really stood out was how much effort they made with the children — attentive, kind, and genuinely delightful. Arm from Muay Thai Boxing was exceptional. A real artist at what he does, great fun, and just a top man all round. A real highlight. At the lobby, Jiu was always smiling, always offering help, and consistently lovely — the sort of presence that makes arriving and leaving feel effortless. And finally Sunny, our go-to contact throughout the stay. Incredibly helpful and well organised, he arranged a private dinner for my wife and me that was truly special, and kept us informed and looked after at every stage. If I were to suggest a couple of improvements: 1. Proper changing facilities with showers and a private room (not just toilets) would be very welcome. 2. Where possible, efforts to reduce buggy waiting times would improve the overall flow. That said, these are minor points in what was an exceptional stay. I recommend this hotel unreservedly — a superb choice for a family holiday in Phuket.

The ambience is wonderful. We stayed at the pool villa and honestly its the best stay experience me and my husband ever had. The facilities here are exceptional and the staff are very kind, generous and extremely welcoming.
