My partner and I recently stayed at the Mandarava Resort and Spa, and we had an amazing experience. Tucked away near the beach in Karon, this villa-style resort is surrounded by lush greenery and offers breathtaking views of the nearby mountains. The entire atmosphere exudes peace and relaxation like stepping into a tropical sanctuary.The villa-suites are beautifully designed to blend in with the natural surroundings, offering privacy and comfort. One of the highlights of our stay was the massage at the spa which was a wonderful and deeply relaxing experience. The treatments from Apple and Milky were thoughtfully done in a serene and comfortable setting, leaving us feeling completely refreshed and restored. The staff at Mandavara were truly outstanding — so kind, attentive, and always ready to help with a smile. Their warm hospitality added a personal touch that made the entire stay feel even more special. The food was delicious and fairly priced, and I really appreciated how generous they were with bottled water during our stay— a small but thoughtful gesture that made a big difference in the tropical heat. If you're looking for a peaceful retreat with top-notch service and a calming spa experience, Mandarava Resort and Spa is highly recommended!

It was our second time staying at the Mandarava and it was amazing as usual. Accommodation was great, we had a pool access room and wouldn’t go any other way. There are 5 pools and numerous pool bars which we especially took advantage of during happy hour - very fair cocktail prices. The only 2 things I would critique are the TVs and the in room service. The TV’s don’t allow you to connect your phone to it to watch things like Netflix. Especially on the days where it rained or stormed. I wish they had Smart TV’s. The pizza and garlic bread were terrible both times.. barely cooked cheese and a very dry base. Other than that, everything was incredible and I would recommend anybody to stay here!

Really great place…no real complaints. It’s a bit hilly so a lot of up hill walking but they do have shuttles which are pretty convenient. You can take the shuttle to Karon beach as well HOWEVER last shuttle back is 6 so you can’t really go to Karon for dinner or see the sunset. But that said you could still use Grab to come back. Anyway highly recommended.

Visited 9 years ago and loved it. This visit was a disappointment - felt like everything had just become a little lower in standard. Fake grass by the pool, poor outside seating at the bar and I think the rooms have been redecorated and personally not a huge favourite of the new colours. The dressing table in the bathroom is fairly useless due to the heat in there and the lack of light. The heat also gets worse as while the AC is great, the policy is no AC when the housekeeper leaves the room, so it can be a sauna if you are in a sunny room with the amount of glass. The grounds are still stunning and the breakfast offering was excellent. Cocktails at the bar were expensive and poor quality. Gym is OK but needs some new equipment. We actually left for 2 nights of our 4 night stay to stay elsewhere as it was a huge disappointment after such an amazing first visit. Wouldn't rush back personally but a lot of other guests seemed to be enjoying it.

Luxury Hotel relaxation

Beautiful luxurious hotel set in beautiful surroundings in tropical woodland above Karon beach. Everything you need for a relaxing break away from the huddle and bustle - friendly and helpful staff - great pools and pool bars - two restaurants. Daily replenishment of bottled water was a nice touch. Shuttle to beach ( walk of 15 mins) was handy - although Beach is beautiful it is very busy and a different vibe - nice for a change but not as classy as the Hotel.

The hotel is beautiful and spacious, with many options within the resort itself. It’s surrounded by lush plants as well. The view from the top was gorgeous and is a nice escape from the bustle of Phuket. The breakfast and dinner options were great as well. The staff were lovely and accommodating! Something to note is that the hotel is located on a hilly landscape, which can make it difficult for some guests who are unable to walk up and down hills (they do offer shuttles to/from your room if you call reception). The hotel also offers a shuttle to Karon beach, but we did wish that the shuttle ran every hour for more convenience (only runs 4x a day and we ended up having to walk or taxi instead). In the morning, the area around our room was quite noisy (sounded like very loud insects), but otherwise was fine. Thank you so much!
