Supalai Scenic Bay Resort And Spa, SHA Extra Plus

Supalai Scenic Bay Resort And Spa, SHA Extra Plus Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to Supalai Scenic Bay Resort And Spa, SHA Extra Plus, honestly, the name felt like a mouthful — but the setting? Absolutely worth remembering. This four-star resort sits tucked away in the Ao Po area of Phuket, which is actually one of those quieter corners that most tourists miss. You know what struck me immediately? The way they’ve managed to create this peaceful bubble while still being accessible to the island’s main attractions. The resort truly captures the essence of a serene tropical escape.

The Location Sweet Spot

Here’s the thing about Ao Po — it’s not where the party crowd goes, and that’s exactly why couples love this place so much. I mean, you’re close enough to the action when you want it, but far enough away that you can actually hear the waves at night. The resort faces Por Bay, and I spent way too much time just watching the long-tail boats drift by. There’s free private parking on site, which honestly saved me from the usual Phuket parking headaches. The location offers the perfect balance between accessibility and tranquility.

Room and Amenities

My room had this view that made me understand why they put “Scenic Bay” in the name. The accommodations are comfortable without being flashy — think clean lines, decent space, and that tropical resort vibe without going overboard on the bamboo furniture. What I really appreciated was how quiet everything was, especially considering there’s a playground on the property. The fitness center is actually well-equipped too, not just a couple of dusty treadmills like some places. Every detail has been thoughtfully designed for guest comfort.

Food and Activities

The breakfast buffet covers all the bases — American classics alongside local options, so you’re not stuck with just toast and jam if you’re feeling adventurous. I have to say, the restaurant staff really knew their stuff about local dishes. As for activities, well, the canoeing was surprisingly fun — they’ll set you up with everything you need to explore the mangroves nearby. It’s one of those experiences that feels authentically Phuket without the tourist trap pricing. The variety of dining and recreational options ensures every guest finds something they enjoy.

Why Guests Love It

Look, this isn’t going to be the most Instagram-famous resort on the island, but that’s actually its strength. The spa treatments are reasonably priced and genuinely relaxing, not just expensive for the sake of it. What really sets this place apart is how it caters to people who want that tropical getaway feeling without the chaos. Couples especially seem to get it — there’s something about the pace here that just works for romantic trips. You can be as active or as lazy as you want, and either way, you’ll probably end up on that bay-facing terrace with a drink, watching the sunset and thinking this was exactly what you needed. This resort delivers an unforgettable experience.

• Sujith from United Arab Emirates (8/10)

  I had an incredible stay at this property. The location is perfect, offering a peaceful retreat away from the city, but with convenient free shuttle services available. The amenities were top-notch, with spacious, clean rooms and fantastic facilities, including free kayaking and superb swimming pools. The staff, especially GM Mr. Chokdee, were exceptionally polite, helpful, and attentive. And the food? Absolutely delicious! I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway with excellent service and great facilities.

• Polgár from Hungary (7/10)

  Food and the pools were nice.

• Philipp from Germany (9/10)

  The pool and the private beach was nice. The rooms are comfortable but the beds are very hard. The restaurant had a nice atmosphere and nice dishes.

• Anna from Sweden (7/10)

  Only spent less than 20 hrs here as our first stop in Thailand before heading to the islands. It is a nice resort, great views, clean rooms. Nice pool.

• Tania from United Kingdom (9/10)

  This hotel should be getting consistent 5 star ratings, the location is a tropical paradise with palm trees, nature and on a white beach. We stayed in a spacious villa which was amazingly decorated and furnished with a terrace, the pools were amazing, breakfast and all meals were amazing with a wide variety and reasonably priced, a main cost 200 TB about €8, local Chang beer is 140TB. There is a complementary shuttle bus to Phuket town twice a day which sits 11 people but has 18 seats (go figure) you need to book this the day before and is free. The journey takes 1 hour each way due to traffic. Book to ensure you get a place as the staff wont offer it to you. There is a poorly stocked shop on site that sells large bottles of water which i recommend you buy as you are only supplied with 2 small bottles of drinking water per day in your room otherwise you have to pay for more ! A beautiful idylic tropical location, great for relaxing and getting away from the very commercialised town centre of Phuket, highly recommend if you want to feel like you are on the island of Phuket as it was before all the tourists came. We recommend buying a thai sim at the airport and downloading the Grab app which is the Thai and Vietnames equivalent of Uber and works the same way, the transfer to the hotel then costs 700TB instead of 1600TB if the hotel book it for you. Wifi is great .
