"A rare homegrown brand that competes with Phuket’s big-name international hotels, this resort benefits from a near-airport location without suffering much from plane noise, and it sits on wonderfully deserted Mai Khao Beach, one of the island’s prettiest stretches of sand. While there are a handful of balcony suites, the pool villas are the real prize: white-washed sanctuaries accented with taupe and grey and featuring Portuguese-tiled open-air bathrooms that nod to the island’s trade history. The SALA Spa enjoys a strong reputation, and the restaurant is equally celebrated—ordering the fragrant beef-cheek curry with mushrooms and betel leaves is highly recommended." - Chris Schalkx, Hannah Summers
