Mai Khao is one of the quieter beach areas of Phuket, with a long sandy shore and fewer crowds than the busier resort strips at Patong and Karon. Hotel Riu Palace Phuket - All Inclusive sits about 740 m from the sea, and Mai Khao Beach and Sai Kaew Beach are both nearby. Phuket is linked by road, and the hotel offers taxi service and car hire for getting around the island.

Phuket International Airport is 1.2 km away, and a viewpoint close to the runway is a popular spot to watch the planes come in to land. Ni Yang Night Market is 3.1 km away, and Nai Yang Beach, 3.6 km away, lies inside Sirinart National Park on a quieter stretch of sand. Splash Jungle Water Park, 600 m from the hotel, and the pagoda of Wat Mongkonwaram offer other options for an afternoon out.

A good day could start on Mai Khao Beach, continue with a visit to the Mai Khao Marine Turtle Foundation, which works on sea turtle conservation, and end at the night market in the evening. The bigger sights of Phuket, such as Patong Beach and Big Buddha, are a longer drive away by road from the hotel.
