Island: Mai Ton Island

Maiton Islands is a small private island in the Andaman Sea, that still holds most of its natural beauty. The waters around are crystal clear and the sand is powdery white. It's also well known for dolphin-watching

Maiton Island is an understated paradise with a long and exciting history. It’s a fantastic day out.

The island is small but with a large and quiet beach and a green hill as a backdrop. 

There is not much to do on this small island, but it feels like a total escape from busy Phuket. Swim, relax, explore a bit, eat and drink, go snorkeling, and enjoy the peace in a lounger under the trees; the day feels perfect.

The viewpoint at the top of the hill behind the hotel is not difficult to reach but not impressive. There is a small shrine up, and the hotel set up a little selfie spot to take a couple of photos.

Surprisingly, Maiton is somewhat unknown. Perhaps people think it’s far (but it’s not really)?

Or maybe the illusion of a once very private and exclusive island remains from the past. However, we believe that despite its beauty, people don’t talk much about it.

Maiton is a private island with a small hotel and just a few bungalows that used to be the ultimate luxury in Phuket. If you visit on a day trip, you can have lunch, drinks, or even a massage at the hotel.
