Mai Khao is almost 10 km long combined with Nai Yang. It’s
the only real gateway on the west coast of Phuket. Aside from JW
Marriott Phuket Resort & Spa, the area is largely undeveloped
with only a few tourist business. This lonely beach is another area
where sea turtles come to lay eggs. It is also home to what the
Thais calls sea cicada, which is a form of marine life. The water
here is fine for swimming during the dry season, but the rainy season
brings big waves and strong currents.
JW Marriott Phuket Resort and Spa is an oasis,
commanding 17 kms of Phuket's untouched, unspoiled Mai Khao
Beach, on Phuket, Thailand. The low, sweeping design of the
resort with its rock walls, broad reflection ponds, water features
and ornate roofing has an imperial presence. It's like a mythic
palace of relaxation.
