Mai Khao is Phuket's longest beach and the island's last active sea-turtle nesting ground. JW Marriott opened on it in 2001 and still houses the Mai Khao Marine Turtle Foundation, where injured leatherbacks and greens are treated before release, with Sirinat National Park as the next-door boundary. Phuket International Airport is fifteen minutes by road, yet the northern coast stays low-density.

About JW Marriott Phuket Resort & Spa
- The Mai Khao Marine Turtle Foundation operates on the resort grounds; leatherbacks still come ashore here to lay eggs, unique on Phuket.
- Mai Khao's eleven kilometres form Phuket's longest continuous shoreline and the western edge of Sirinat National Park.
- Phuket International Airport is fifteen minutes by road, yet the northern coast stays low-density, a deliberate counterpoint to Patong.
History
Anchored on Mai Khao Beach, Phuket's longest shoreline and the island's only remaining active sea-turtle nesting ground, JW Marriott Phuket Resort & Spa opened in 2001 and houses the Mai Khao Marine Turtle Foundation on its grounds, where sick and injured leatherback and green turtles are treated before release.
The setting
JW Marriott Phuket Resort & Spa stands at 231 Mai Khao in Thalang District, along the island's longest shoreline — eleven kilometres of Mai Khao Beach edging into Sirinat National Park. The resort hosts the Mai Khao Marine Turtle Foundation on its grounds, placing conservation at the heart of the guest experience on one of Thailand's last active turtle nesting beaches. Splash Jungle Water Park and the quiet sands of Nai Yang Beach are minutes away by taxi. The property anchors a cluster of landmark luxury resorts along this low-density northern corridor, just fifteen minutes from Phuket International Airport — making seclusion and effortless arrival equally defining features of the address.
