Le Meridien Mai Khao – one of the kid-friendliest and most luxurious resorts in Phuket

Hiding on a romantic stretch of Phuket’s northwest coast, Le Meridien Mai Khao is a beach getaway and family oasis in one. From shallow toddler pools and a Family Kids’ Club to chocolatey body scrubs and complimentary meals for fledglings – this luxury hotel in Phuket ticks all the right boxes.

A natural setting for families and tranquillity-seeking couples

Just a 15-minute drive from Phuket International Airport and close to Phang-Nga Bay, Mai Khao Beach is flanked by fragrant casuarinas, perfect for a getaway adventure.

Ideal for long beach walks, it stretches for kilometres and lacks the throngs of tourists elsewhere in Phuket, making Mai Khao one of the most peaceful corners of the island. Nearby is Sirinat National Park, which is known for about 130 bird species. They live in tangled mangroves as well as fragrant pine and tropical almond tree forests that beg visitors to hop on a bicycle.

The national park is great for water sports as well, including kayaking and paddleboarding to off-shore reefs, where turtles moving their front flippers in wing-like motions can be spotted.

While the water gets deep quickly at Mai Khao Beach Phuket – hence it’s perfect for swimming – Le Meridien has glistening lagoons with relaxing decks and shallow pools with slides.

Guests who book a Premium Pool Access Room, a Junior  Suite, or a Premium Cabana Terrace Room can get several extra benefits, thanks to Le Meridien’s All inclusive and Family Bliss promotions.

Le Meridien Phuket Mai Khao Beach Resort

With 244 well-appointed rooms and suites of 13 types, which overlook gardens, pools, or the sea, holidaymakers are spoilt for choice.

Featuring sizes from 41sqm to 110sqm, all of Le Meridien’s spacious rooms have a balcony to relax on, steps from ocean waves washing ashore. Adorned luxuriously and subtly with a sustainable concept in mind, the earth-coloured rooms boast wood galore for a relaxed, homely ambience.

As the name suggests, the brand-new Premium Pool Access Rooms and Suites have private terraces with steps leading straight into the lagoon pool of this chic Mai Khao hotel. While the resort’s Two-Bedroom Suites are kitted out with pools for a good dose of privacy, the Family Rooms with bunk beds offer plenty of space to play.

Child-friendly facilities include the modern Family Kids’ Club, where little ones are bound to get excited. From treehouses and vertical gardens to cooking classes, cake decorating, and batik painting, there’s plenty to do to keep kids engaged. Active children can also enjoy beach games and Thai boxing lessons. And the best part, these resort activities for families are free!

One of the most luxurious hotels in Phuket, this beachside resort spares no effort to make children and parents happy. While the fully-equipped gym is for adults keen to burn a few calories, the on-site spa is for everyone, including youngsters discovering the benefits of relaxation. As well as soothing oil massages, Explore Spa offers Mini Me-massages, Little Me manicure and pedicure, plus chocolate body scrubs for kids.

Family fun does not end there. With culinary offerings that unite parents and children, Le Meridien is an excellent addition to Mai Khao Phuket restaurants. J’s is the place for all-day dining with a delicious choice of Thai and international dishes. The Phuket Corner focuses on local Thai staples, and the Ocean Kitchen shakes up the concept with casual Mediterranean cuisine, wood-fired pizzas, and poolside platters.

Aptly named, showcasing an all-wood design with nooks and crannies, The Nook serves light bites, while The Pool Bar’s trolley has gelato brimming with sweet and juicy flavours. Whichever restaurant you choose, each of them has a farm-to-table concept and an exclusive chef, an Iron chef Thailand competitor. What’s more, all of Le Meridien’s restaurants have special kids’ menus with complimentary dishes for those aged 12 and younger.

Complete with direct beach access, unbroken views of the sun dipping below the horizon, plus a brand DNA that’s all about chicness, culture, and discovery, Le Meridien Phuket Mai Khao Beach is one of the most luxurious resorts in Phuket.
