Planning a holiday that keeps both kids and parents happy can be a challenge – but Club Med Phuket makes it feel effortless. Just an hour from Phuket International Airport and steps from the peaceful shores of Karon Beach, this lush, garden-wrapped resort is the ultimate tropical escape for families of all ages.

Recently, Stephanie and her 4-year-old daughter, Sofie, enjoyed a magical stay at this all-inclusive resort on their special mummy-daughter trip. They were among the first guests to stay in the newly built Family Oasis rooms, which overlook the vibrant and thoughtfully designed Splash Park, created especially with young families in mind. Read on for all you need to know about their stay!

  • Wonderful Family-Friendly Acommodations

    Refurbished & Intelligently Designed

    Their spacious ground-floor suite was a perfect retreat after a full day of activities. With a private terrace, separate sleeping space for Sofie, and clever design touches throughout, the room offered both comfort and convenience. Some rooms even come with playful themes, child-friendly amenities, and welcome gifts—perfect for making little guests feel extra special.

  • Inclusive Activities For All Ages

    Kids Splash Park & Family-Friendly Fun

    Sofie’s favorite part of the trip? The Splash Park! She spent hours splashing, sliding, and laughing beneath the watchful eyes of attentive lifeguards, while Stephanie relaxed nearby on a sun lounger. The Family Oasis Snack Bar kept them fueled with light bites and cold drinks all day—French fries were Sofie’s go-to, while Stephanie cooled off with a crisp Chang beer.

    The digital wristbands were a game-changer, doubling as room keys and payment, so no need to carry cards or cash. The Club Med app helped Stephanie plan their days with ease, from activity schedules to kids’ club drop-offs and adult fitness classes.

    With 25+ sports and activities available for all ages, every day brought something new. From tennis, golf, Thai boxing, and yoga to the iconic Club Med flying trapeze, there was always something exciting to try.

    Stephanie took part in a beginner golf lesson and even gave archery a shot—both fun, approachable, and led by friendly instructors. The days flew by, and soon she lost track of time—a true sign of a great holiday.

  • Amazing Kids Club At Club Med Phuket

    Unaccompanied Fun For All Ages

    Club Med Phuket’s Mini Club Med was a hit with Sofie. Every morning at 8:30 am, she happily joined her new friends for a full day of fun sports, crafts, games, and splash time. The caring and energetic G.O.s (Gentle Organisers) made her feel right at home.

    • Petit Club Med (ages 2–3) and Baby Club Med (4–23 months) available for an extra fee
    • Mini Club Med (ages 4–10): 8:30am–5pm & 6:30–8:30pm
    • Teens Club Med (ages 11-13)
    • Club Med Chill (ages 14–17)

    Even when the weather turned, Club Med had it covered with indoor activities like creative workshops, games, and sports in air-conditioned spaces.

  • Wonderful Food & Beverage Options

    Plus Nightly Entertainment & Shows

    All the food and beverage facilities you can think of, with two standout options:

    • Mamuang Restaurant: A buffet-style spot with live cooking stations and rotating international menus (Sofie never missed the daily ice cream!)
    • Chuda: A more refined à la carte experience for when families want to slow down

    Evenings were full of entertainment—from fire shows and fireworks to family-friendly parties and performances.

    Drinks and snacks were always within reach, thanks to:

    • Sanook Bar: A lively, family-friendly space
    • Zen Pool Bar: A peaceful, adults-only retreat
    • Splash Bar: Convenient all-day snacks and drinks from 11am–5pm
  • The Verdict: Club Med Phuket

    The Ultimate Family Escape In Thailand

    From the warm welcomes and signature Club Med energy to the thoughtfully planned kids’ activities and indulgent spa treatments (available at an extra cost), it felt like a true holiday for both parent and child.

    Stephanie and Sofie stayed for 3 nights and 4 days, only stepping outside the resort once, for a peaceful walk along Karon Beach, famous for its soft golden sand and calm, rolling waves. For families looking to venture out a bit more, Club Med offers curated excursions to elephant sanctuaries, thrilling waterparks, and authentic Thai cultural experiences — perfect for making even more magical memories together.

    Ready for a family getaway where kids have the time of their lives and parents actually get to unwind? Book your stay at Club Med Phuket — just ask Stephanie and Sofie, it’s a trip they’ll always remember.
