It says something good about the robustness of Phuket’s tourist economy that even now, new hotels are continuing to open there. Sala Phuket, at Mai Khao in the island’s northwest, is a Thai beach resort in the modern mold: some seventy-nine airy loft-style modernist units strung along the coast, most of them with private swimming pools.
The exceptions are a handful of second-story balcony rooms — obviously not the way to go if a private pool is a must, but it’s clever that a few rooms are set aside for travelers on a bit of a budget. Anyway all of them, from the balcony rooms to the presidential villa, are in the same smart contemporary style, and all have open-air bathrooms and full-size outdoor daybeds for maximally efficient lounging.
Swim some laps or just lounge semi-socially at Sala’s swimming pools, or hole up in the canopied daybeds on the lawn by the beach. There’s a five-room spa and a fitness center, and activities from snorkeling to temple tours can be arranged. And at night guests dine in the poolside restaurant — get the rooftop table for the ocean view and the extra measure of privacy.
How to get there:
Sala Phuket is approximately a 20 minute drive from Phuket International Airport.

Large, comfortable rooms with high ceilings, outdoor shower and bath and an enchanting smell. Beautiful quiet beach, nicely designed adult-only swimming pools, great food and snacks (best I experienced during my stay)
What the hotel could do better:
did not enjoy the loud jazz band during brunch on Sunday.

Absolutely beautiful room (we splurged and took a corner suite). The location (right on the beach) - and that lovely aroma wafting through reception. What was that...
What the hotel could do better:
Nothing, had a wonderful stay!

What I liked:
Style. Privacy. Location. Almost every room has a private pool and a nice private outdoor lounge area. These are just so good that even if you decide to spend some time at the lush public pool & bar area or at the beach you get the feeling that you are almost alone there - everybody enjoys their private facilities. The resort is located at a fabulous long beach strip away from all the ugliness and hustling of Patong, which is just perfect. We will return this February as last year's was probably one of the best experiences we have ever had in S-E Asia (compared to all the Mandarin Orientals, Conrads and resorts like Langham Place)
What the hotel could do better:
