Anantara Vacation Club Mai Khao Phuket

The villa stay was excellent with private pool. Amenities are great. Close to nature with birds chirping. Just need to be aware of lizards and bugs for those who are afraid of them.

The Anantara Vacation Club consists of a large number of pool villas which all have their own pool and a hotel with a common pool, restaurant and bar. The location is in the north of Phuket, quite far from any entertainment area. We went through an invitation to stay three nights at a significant discount, for which we would join a presentation about a timesharing package. Our villa was on the street adjacent to the common pool. The villa is large and beautiful with all the amenities you can think of. The pool is large enough to really swim, 1.20m deep and the water has a pleasant temperature. There is a terrace outside the unit with sunbeds and a table with chairs. Already the first night the expected relaxing quiet was disturbed by noise and music coming from the pool area. Breakfast in the restaurant is very busy, loud and noisy. However, the buffet has an enormous choice, something there for everyone. The restaurant has a nice menu with reasonable prices but is also a bit loud. The presentation for the club timesharing was done in a kind of cubicle. There were different packages and each was clearly presented. However, to decide in a few hours about an investment of $85k over 30 years is not something I can easily do now with the orange moron creating chaos around the world. The last day, a Friday, there was a live DJ at the pool. It was clear that he was alive, since the pounding noise made it unbearable to relax on our own terrace. We were obliged to leave our luxurious dwelling and find a more pleasant environment. When he had finished it was still noisy from the pool area. The DJ will be there every Friday, Saturday and Sunday. It seems clear that combining luxury villas for a quiet and relaxed stay is not compatible with a big hotel and noisy entertainment. We will leave it at a one-time experience.

We recently spent a wonderful vacation at Anantara Vacation Club Mai Khao, Phuket from March 23-25, 2026. The variety of breakfast options and excellent facilities really stood out to us. A short 300-meter walk took us to the beach, where we enjoyed breathtaking sunsets. Most of all, we'd like to commend the staff for their supportive and professional service - they truly made our stay memorable 😊.

I had a wonderful stay at this resort and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway. From the moment I arrived, the staff were warm, welcoming, and attentive, making the check-in process smooth and stress-free.
