The resort’s many family features are a kids’ club, movie room, Xbox 360s, and activities like Muay Thai classes and umbrella painting.

Rawayana West Villas & Kids Park

Location: Rawai Beach

Rawayana West Villas & Kids Park is a villa resort in Rawai built around one big selling point: an elaborate kids’ park with water slides, play areas, and themed rooms. If you have young children (especially ages 1-6), this place solves the “what do we do with the kids” problem. All 40 units are private pool villas with full kitchens, which works well for longer stays or families who want to cook. You’re 300 meters from Rawai seafront, though that’s not a swimming beach. Real beach time means driving 10 minutes to Nai Harn.

Diamond Cliff Resort & Spa

Location: Patong Beach

Diamond Cliff Resort & Spa is built into the hillside at the quiet north end of Patong Beach. The location is the whole point here: you’re across the street from the beach but away from the chaos of central Patong and Bangla Road. The resort has 284 rooms, suites, and pool villas spread across multiple levels on the hill, which means you get views but also stairs or a shuttle ride to your room. There are two pools (one with a water slide) and a full spa. It’s a good middle ground if you want Patong’s restaurants and nightlife nearby without staying in the middle of it. The resort is at the very north end of Patong Beach on Prabaramee Road. You’re directly across the street from the beach (2-3 minute walk), but this end of Patong is much quieter than the central stretch. Jungceylon and Central shopping malls are 1 km away, Bangla Road is also 1 km south, so you’re looking at a 10-15 minute walk or quick tuk-tuk ride to get to Patong’s main action. There are some restaurants nearby, but most dining and shopping require going into central Patong. You’re 17 km from Wat Chalong, 20 km from Phuket Town, and about 60 minutes from the airport.

Radisson Resort & Suites Phuket

Location: Kamala Beach

Radisson Resort & Suites Phuket is a family-focused resort about 600 meters from Kamala Beach. The main draw here is space. All 179 rooms are suites, which means you get separate living areas, something most mid-range hotels on Phuket don’t offer. The lagoon-style pool has a water slide that keeps kids busy, and there are three on-site restaurants so you don’t have to leave for meals. It’s a good middle option between staying right on Kamala Beach and the hillside hotels further back. The resort is on Moo 3 road, about a 7-8 minute walk to Kamala Beach. You’re not beachfront, which means you cross a quiet road and walk through a bit of the village to reach the sand. That’s actually the reality for most Kamala hotels unless you pay significantly more. The location puts you closer to Phuket Fantasea (5 minutes) than to Kamala’s main restaurant strip (10-15 minute walk south). A 7-Eleven is about 5 minutes away on foot. You’re 25 km from the airport (30-40 minutes depending on traffic) and about 8 km from Patong.
