Mai Khao Beach's shopping scene is relatively modest, which pairs well with northwestern Phuket's peaceful and laidback atmosphere. The 11-km-long beach has many upscale resorts lining its beachfront, with a few satellite businesses to serve their guests.

Some of Mai Khao Beach's most notable shopping options – Turtle Village and Mai Khao Plaza – are within walking distance of 5-star resorts in the central part of the beach. Standalone shopping opportunities include convenience stores and local grocery stores, most of which are on Road 3033, which runs parallel to Mai Khao Beach.
