Best Time to Cycle

Any time apart from mid-day is a great choice for a cycling tour. Wake up early enough, and you can explore Mai Khao and be back at your hotel in time for breakfast! What’s more, if you’re staying at one of those Pool Villas in Phuket, you can take a dip to cool off after your cycling expedition.

Renting a Bike

Figuring out a route, and renting a bike can always be a hassle when you’re on holiday. However, if you stay at a resort such as Anantara Mai Khao Phuket Villas you can trust the hotel concierge to plan this excursion out for you.

Scenic Route

The cycling trails in Mai Khao take you through some pristine and picturesque patches of green. You’ll make your way through a protected natural reserve and then continue through some exotic banana, papaya, and pineapple plantations. The route will eventually bring you to a quiet, peaceful stretch of unspoilt beach, where you can take a break and take in the stunning views of the ocean.
