Rosewood Phuket – A secluded Phuket hotel with unique experiences for all the family

The Rosewood Explorers programme is notable not only because it’s free for children from the age of 3 (instead of the usual 4), but also for its thoughtful themed experiences, including Culinary Bonding (craft chocolate workshops and plant-based cooking sessions – yum!), Mind, Body, Soul (think laughing yoga, junior muay Thai and eco discovery walks) and Culture (experience Thai weaving, dancing and music). The kids’ club features climbing walls, a performance stage, reading nooks and a tropical-landscaped playground. For the older kids, there are half-day programs like “A Day in the Life of a Hotelier”, where a member of the Executive Team will guide them for a behind-the-scenes tour of the resort or the DJ Workshop where they can learn skills that will no doubt impress their friends!

JW Marriott Phuket Resort & Spa – Beachfront five-star luxury Phuket hotel

The five-star JW Marriott is a tempting choice for families who want a more peaceful holiday with a touch of luxury. Set along the quiet Mai Khao Beach on Phuket’s northwest coast and handily located near Phuket Airport, the resort offers families a large and lush retreat. The resort has three swimming pools, including one with slides and fountains as well as daily activities like batik painting at its kids’ club. Almost every service at JW Marriott has been adapted to appeal to children, including a cooking course and even spa treatments designed for kids. Be sure to pay a visit to the onsite turtle rehabilitation centre!

Sassy Mama Tip: It is easy to confuse the JW Marriott Phuket Resort & Spa with the Marriott Phuket Beach Club which offers family apartments nearby (there is a shuttle bus connecting the resorts). Note that if you book the Beach Club, you can use the JW facilities for an extra fee.
