Family holidays to Phuket

Friendly hotels

Most of the family hotels in Phuket settle in the south-west of the island, near Patong. Looks-wise, they’re of a similar theme, peddling palm-shaded pool areas, modern Thai décor and al fresco bars. They also line up plenty of activities — from hotel kids’ clubs and pool games to cookery classes and film nights.

Patong Beach

There’s lots going on in Patong Beach — which explains why so many family hotels take root here. Globetrotting restaurants, miles of sand and night markets cater for all generations. Patong Beach is also the starting line for a whole range of daytrips, including cruises to the Phi Phi Islands and trips to Buddhist temples squirrelled away in the mountainous forests of inland Phuket.

Kata Beach

Kata Beach is another child-friendly resort. It balances a long list of activities — from surfing to boat trips — with a laid-back air. Head in to town, meanwhile, and there’s a good helping of shops and restaurants. Plus, it’s just down the road from Karon Beach — the longest stretch of sand in Phuket.
