Christmas dinner by the sea, a golden-era Thai celebration, and the first sunset of a new year on Phuket’s peaceful Mai Khao Beach. At SALA Phuket Mai Khao Beach Resort, the festive season is an invitation to trade the usual holiday routine for a few days of tropical indulgence, with seasonal dining, live entertainment and celebrations that carry you from Christmas Eve into 2027.
From 24 December 2026 to 2 January 2027, the resort has lined up a series of festive experiences, from a white-and-gold Christmas Eve to a New Year’s Eve inspired by Old Siam. And for those planning a proper holiday rather than just a celebratory meal, the best way to enjoy it is to book a stay and make the festivities part of your Phuket escape.

Luxora verdict
The appeal of a festive escape at SALA Phuket is the chance to celebrate the season without the usual rush. Christmas comes with a little glamour, New Year’s Eve brings a distinctly Thai sense of occasion, and the first days of January leave room for long lunches and slower evenings by the sea.
For couples, families or anyone looking to end 2026 somewhere warmer, SALA Phuket Mai Khao makes a compelling case for turning the festive season into a proper beach holiday.
Book your stay directly by 30 November to enjoy 10% off festive dining, then choose the celebrations you want to make part of your Phuket getaway.
