Radisson Blu Resort Phuket opening: Radisson Hotel Group’s new resort in Mai Khao beach has just been launched. With this new hotel the brand introduces Radisson Blu’s upper upscale brand to one of the island’s most pristine beachfront locations. The 222-room resort features two dining concepts, a superyacht-inspired rooftop bar and pool, an expansive beachfront infinity pool, as well as a dedicated Kids Club and flexible meeting spaces. Designed with sustainability and community at its core, Radisson Blu Resort, Phuket Mai Khao Beach is ideal for leisure stays, family holidays and wellness-led escapes, with easy access to Mai Khao Beach, Sirinat National Park, Blue Canyon Country Club, Sarasin Bridge, Airport View Point, and Yacht Haven Marina.

“Mai Khao is one of the few places in Phuket where nature still feels untouched, and that’s exactly what today’s luxury traveller is searching for; meaning, stillness, and time well spent. We’ve designed every detail to honour the hotel’s setting, from rooms that face the ocean or gardens to our rooftop sunset bar that brings a refined social energy, without ever compromising the calm. As a destination for the whole family, including four‑legged members, our Rad Family and Rad Pets programs ensure every guest feels welcome, creating holidays that are as effortless as they are memorable,” says GM Björn-Henning Buth.

Radisson Blu Resort Phuket opening: maritime modernism meets tropical calm

The resort’s design blends clean maritime modernism with tropical textures, using coastal hues, natural materials and biophilic landscaping, creating a calm, contemporary environment. The superyacht inspired rooftop space, Luana On Sii, incorporates glass balustrades, streamlined forms, and teak-style decking, offering a standout vantage point for sunset views over the Andaman Sea.

Rooms designed around the ‘Andaman frame’

All 222 rooms and suites feature ocean or garden views and are framed around the ‘Andaman perspective,” with balconies and generous terraces that extend living spaces outdoors, ideal for coffee, yoga, family moments, or sunset lounging.

Mai Khao Beach, Phuket’s quieter side

Located on the peaceful shores of Mai Khao Beach, the resort offers access to the area’s most scenic highlights, including Sirinat National Park, Airport View Point, Blue Canyon Country Club, Sarasin Bridge and Yacht Haven Marina. Adjacent to the revered Mai Khao Temple, heart of the community and a cultural icon for the area, the property is deeply connected to the spirit of the destination. With Phuket International Airport only a 15 minutes’ drive away, the resort is positioned for weekend escapes, wellness retreats, and relaxed family holidays.

Three meeting rooms can be configured for boardroom sessions, workshops, cocktail receptions, each equipped with natural daylight, modern AV technology, and high-speed connectivity under the Radisson Meetings concept. For destination-led events, beachfront and poolside areas serve as memorable backdrops for receptions, networking, and private celebrations.
