Some family resorts talk about keeping children entertained. Sunwing Bangtao Beach builds the holiday around it.
Set directly on Bangtao Beach in Phuket, this spacious resort gives families the rare luxury of having plenty to do without needing to organise every hour. There are pools for energetic splashing, a kids club for creative play, watersports for bigger adventures and enough space for parents to find a quiet moment of their own.
The kids club gives little travellers their own holiday
At the heart of the resort is the Lollo & Bernie Club, where children can join age-appropriate activities and make new friends while parents enjoy a little time to themselves. The dedicated Teen Lounge gives older children their own space too, so the resort isn’t only designed around toddlers and younger kids.
That matters on a family holiday. Children get activities they actually want to join, rather than being expected to follow the same schedule as their parents. Adults get the chance to swim, read and enjoy a massage.
Babysitting is available at the Lollo & Bernie Club or in your room, giving families a little more flexibility when they need it.
Six pools mean everyone can find their favourite spot
Sunwing Bangtao Beach has four outdoor swimming pools, two outdoor children’s pools, a pool slide and an outdoor jacuzzi. In other words, there’s no need for every family member to want the same kind of pool day.
Younger children can splash in shallow water, older kids can make a beeline for the slide and parents can settle into a slower afternoon nearby. The Pool Bar keeps drinks and easy refreshments close at hand, while the resort’s open spaces make it simple to move between swimming, sunbathing and playtime.
When the heat rises, water aerobics and other activities add a little structure to the day. When it doesn’t, there’s always the option to do absolutely nothing.
Bangtao Beach brings the sea to your doorstep
The resort’s location on Bangtao Beach means the sea is part of the daily rhythm. Start with a walk along the sand, cool off in the Andaman waters or try one of the watersports available at the resort.
There’s something wonderfully simple about a beachfront family holiday. You don’t need to pack everyone into a taxi for your first swim of the day, and forgotten beach toys are easier to forgive when the room is only a short stroll away.
Back at the resort, pétanque, table tennis, fitness facilities and water activities give families plenty of ways to fill the hours between breakfast and sunset. Younger children can stay busy, teenagers can find their own pace and parents can join in as much or as little as they like.
Family rooms make space for everyone
The accommodation is designed with family stays in mind, including the Studio, Royal Studio and Two Bedroom Family Suite. The family suite gives everyone more room to spread out, with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a king bed, double sofa bed and two single beds.
That extra space changes the feel of a holiday. There’s somewhere to store the suitcases, somewhere for the children to sleep and somewhere for the adults to enjoy a quiet drink after bedtime.
The Studio also includes a kitchenette and private balcony or terrace, offering a practical setup for families who appreciate a little more flexibility during their stay.
Even mealtimes keep things easy
Families can choose between two restaurants, Piak’s Kitchen and Fino Restaurant, with the Pool Bar and Lounge Bar adding easy options for drinks and relaxed snacks.
Piak’s Kitchen is the natural gathering point for family meals, with a broad menu designed to suit different ages and appetites. Children can keep things simple, while adults can take their time over a proper meal. Later, the bars create space for a sunset cocktail or a quiet drink after a day in the pool.
Sunwing Bangtao Beach understands that family dining needs to be flexible. Some nights call for everyone around one table. Others call for an early dinner, an ice cream by the pool and an easy bedtime.
The easygoing Phuket family holiday
Sunwing Bangtao Beach is made for families who want more from a holiday than a room near the beach. Here, children have their own spaces, parents have room to breathe and the whole family can move between the sand, the pools and the kids club without overthinking the day.
For a Phuket escape filled with swimming, playtime, beach walks and the occasional quiet cocktail, keep Sunwing Bangtao Beach on your family holiday shortlist.
