Mai Khao Beach
Guest sentiment
A newer, mid-century-modern-styled Le Méridien resort on Mai Khao Beach, about 13 km from the airport, with a private beach and family kids' club.
Last updated July 31, 2026
Le Méridien Phuket Mai Khao Beach Resort is a newer addition to Phuket's Mai Khao Beach cluster, blending mid-century modern design with local craftsmanship across 14 room and suite types. It's rated 4 of 5 across roughly 860 TripAdvisor reviews and ranks well within Mai Khao's hotel set, with guests praising a private beach described as feeling like an uninhabited island, lovely and attentive family-friendly staff, a well-zoned beachfront pool, and a dedicated Family Kids' Club with daily programming. Junior suites draw specific praise for space and comfort. As a newer, more compact property (14 room types versus the larger inventories at JW Marriott or Renaissance next door), it's positioned as an intimate, design-forward alternative on the same beach. The main watchouts in guest feedback are inconsistency at the margins rather than fundamental problems: at least one review describes basic service with limited attentiveness on room orders and towels, and another flagged buffet food quality as below expectations -- worth weighing against the otherwise strong staff and setting reviews. At roughly 13 km from the airport, it's one of the more convenient Mai Khao-area resorts for arrivals and departures.

Phuket 101 · Willy Thuan · Apr 2025
Local reviewer calls it a peaceful family hideaway on quiet 11km Mai Khao Beach: two large pools, a superb kids' club and strong spa, but few attractions nearby beyond the beach.
