Mai Khao Beach

Mai Khao Beach is at the north west end of Phuket Island, stretched along the waterline for several km and behind are coconut plantation.
As you can see on the pictures here the beach is lined with coniferous trees which is nothing negative, the palms are a little bit more further. Actually most beaches in Phuket Island have pine trees behind the sand.
Its near to the airport and quite far to Patong and Phuket Town, both are over 30 km to the the south. Its a little bit isolated up there in the north. Why is the beach on Phuket Island a real exotic one? It's facing the Andaman Sea for several kilometers with powder-like light yellow sand. Lush tropical vegetation and the great environment of a tropical vacation destination with excellent service will give you a time to enjoy yourself. The sand at the beach is just right and your little ones will have a great time building sandcastles here
This rather remote beach area on Phuket island is the perfect vacation destinations if you are searching for a secluded vacation spot no villages or towns are around. Mai Khao Beach is at the northwest side of Phuket Island dominated by the JW Marriot hotel. There are also a couple of other beach resorts, luxury villas and apartments for rental and purchasing. But keep in mind in Thailand it is forbidden to buy property by a foreigner, it won’t matter what the real estate agent is saying.
The beach is ideal for swimming and snorkeling because of the steep gradient into the sea, it's also a great place to party. A Mai Khao Beach holiday doesn’t mean you have to turn into a red lobster, take enough sunscreen and drink lots of water.Casuarinas provide a backdrop of natural beauty to this gorgeous Mai Khao Beach. There are also plenty of palm trees around but not at the beach. The light sand makes a perfect daybed, the water is ideal for snorkeling and the sun will provide you with a perfect tan. Around are some coconut plantations. Plenty of island tours to other parts of Phuket Island, into the Phang Nga Bay and other exotic places are available.

Mai Khao Beach is a fantastic sun destination almost all year round and you can be sure it never get packed since the area is placed right into a Thailand National Park and they don’t allow others to built any structure at National Parks, the question is now how this Mai Khao hotels and beach resorts cone there.
The secluded Mai Khao Beach area is one of the areas where leatherback sea turtles still come to to lay their eggs in the sand.
The nesting time is from November to February.To pop up the turtle population in southern Thailand every April young hatchlings are released into the Andaman Sea.
Mai Khao Beach is really very far off from all the entertainment places in Phuket southern Thailand like Patong. Beach, Karon Beach and Phuket Town or Phuket City its the ideal place for family holiday or maybe for some great honeymoon days.
