Thailand is a hotspot for honeymoons. It’s not hard to see why: picture perfect beaches, amazing cuisine and unspoilt natural beauty, it ticks all the must-haves for the holiday of a lifetime.
With vibrant cities, tropical islands and world-class spa resorts, the country is made for honeymoon adventures of every kind. But if you never want to be more than a few metres from the Andaman Sea, head south to Phuket. The party province and largest Thai island is as famous for hosting a slew of holidaying celebrities as it is for its luxury hotels.
If you prefer ‘reluxeation’ (that’s luxury relaxing, obvi) to rock n roll, point your flip-flops to the north side of the island. Here you’ll discover tranquil beaches such as Maikhao, home to Maikhao Dream Villa Resort and Spa, Phuket.
The resort offers newlyweds the choice of 22 exquisite pool villas in a tropical setting on the northwest coast of Phuket, blending in seamlessly with Thailand's natural beauty.
The resort exudes grandeur in a peaceful and natural environment where the warm turquoise sea caresses the perfect warm sands of Maikhao Beach. Total bliss.
Cuisine
From nibbles to candlelit dinners for two, Maikhao Dream Villa Resort and Spa caters to every taste.
Since you’re Newlywed lovebirds, why not book a table at The Dream Bar, where all tables are set for two and come with your personal serving staff.
Or dine beneath the stars on the beach at Pine Beach Club, perfect for a casual dinner.
The Resort
Set on the northwest coast of Phuket, Maikhao Dream Villa redefines tropical luxury.
The hotel is made up of 2- and 3-bed villas arranged by the pool to give you direct access to the water, any time of day or night (convenient for those with a midnight dip in mind!).
Spacious and airy, the 2-bed villas come with outdoor jet pools and terraces with views of the Andaman Sea.
The Yacht
Exploring the outer islands of Phuket, Phang Nga and Krabi is easy thanks to the resort's Sunseeker Manhattan 60, a superbly engineered and finished 3-bed yacht.
Soak up the sunshine on deck, cool off by swimming in lagoons inside limestone caves and keep your hunger away by visiting local restaurants perched on stilts above the sea.
Relaxation
Maikhao Dream Villas delivers luxury and relaxation with Ayurvedic and Soul Healing treatments alongside spa and signature therapies.The three-hour Romantic Journey couples treatment will reinvigorate from head-to-toe and finishes with cake and mocktails.
Now that’s what we call a happy ending!
