Family beach vacations are even more enjoyable when you stay at one of Phuket’s many beachfront resorts.
Few experiences compare with stepping straight from your resort onto soft sand or falling asleep to the sound of the ocean.
A beachfront resort makes family vacations feel wonderfully easy, with the sand just steps away and the freedom to return to your room whenever little ones need a nap, snack, or change of clothes. With pools, kids’ clubs, family-friendly dining, and activities for all ages, everyone can relax and enjoy more time together.
Although several top resorts and hotels sit just across the road from the beach, the island’s west coast offers a wide choice of true beachfront properties for memorable family vacations in Phuket.
Below we have listed some of Phuket’s best beachfront resorts for family beach vacations or romantic getaways.
The resorts are listed from north to south.
