Concierge "SALA Phuket on the northern Mai Khao Beach clearly got the memo, orienting 63 of its 79 rooms around a self-contained outdoor area that makes your space feel like a resort within a resort."
Condé Nast Traveler "At one of Phuket’s most stylish small hotels, all of the 79 airy rooms housed in 1960s-inspired one- and two-story buildings have easy access to the long, soft-sand Mai Khao Beach." Full review
Star Service "This is a standout offering that helps to broaden the meaning of boutique-hotel with its extensive facilities and intimate room count." Full review
Rough Guide "The sharp, Sino-modern architecture of the villa compounds here... attract mainly couples, especially honeymooners, who enjoy the style and privacy, especially of the pool villas."
Lonely Planet "This uberstylish, boutique property is a blend of Sino-Portuguese and art deco influences with mod flair."
OysterLuxury

The Telegraph9.0
"Sitting pretty on the golden sands of Mai Khao beach, Sala Phuket is the laid-back antidote to Phuket's flashier southern resorts." Full review
Mr & Mrs Smith "You don’t have to die to go to heaven – you just need to go to Mai Khao Beach for Sala Phuket, whose spa and wine are award-winning, whose pool glitters temptingly from a green lawn, and whose irresponsibly romantic suites and villas come with open-air bathrooms and tropical gardens where birds sing gleefully." Full review
Independent "Everything lazy beach lovers dream of, the Sala Phuket Mai Khao Beach Resort is set inside Sirinat National Park and rolls right out onto miles and miles of blissfully untouched cream and honey sands"
