Mai Khao is a beach area in Phuket that sits apart from the busy nightlife of Patong and Bangla Road, and the sand is about 50 m from the hotel. The setting centres on the beach rather than on shopping and nightlife, and the airport is close enough to be the usual point of arrival for guests coming from abroad. The beach runs for a long way along the coast, so a walk can go far in either direction.

Sea turtles nest on this stretch of sand, and the Mai Khao Marine Turtle Foundation works to protect them along this coast. Naiyang national Park covers a stretch of the coast and its beaches 2.5 km away. Ni Yang Night Market, 3.3 km away, is a local evening market where you can eat and shop.

A day could start with a swim on Maikhao Beach, then a short ride to the Airplane Viewpoint at Maikhao Beach to watch planes come in low over the sand. The evening can end at Ni Yang Night Market, and for a bigger day out Patong Beach is 24.1 km away. Visitors who want a quieter evening than Patong offers can stay around the hotel and the night market.
