About Club Med Phuket
Club Med Phuket is an all-inclusive family resort on Kata Beach in the southwest of Phuket. It has 305 rooms and suites in three and four storey buildings set in gardens across the road from the beach.
What sets it apart is that it is one of the few true all-inclusive resorts in Phuket, with meals, drinks, activities and kids clubs bundled into the price. It suits families with children who want plenty to do, and couples can use the adults-only pool for quieter time.

Activities and entertainment
Kids clubs cover all ages: Mini Club Med for ages 4 and up is included, Club Med Passworld is for teens, and Baby Club Med (4 to 23 months) and Petit Club Med for toddlers cost extra and must be booked ahead.

Phuket’s driest and calmest weather usually runs from about November to April, which is peak season. From around May to October the southwest monsoon brings more rain and rougher seas on the west coast beaches, when red flags often mean swimming is unsafe, but prices are lower and showers often pass quickly.
Beyond the resort, Phuket offers boat trips to Phang Nga Bay and the Phi Phi Islands, the Big Buddha viewpoint, the colorful streets of Phuket Old Town and a long chain of west coast beaches from Mai Khao in the north to Kata and Nai Harn in the south.
Who it’s best for
- Best for: families with children of all ages and active travelers who want an all-inclusive price with lots of activities.
- Consider another resort if: you want a beachfront hotel with loungers on the sand, a private pool villa or water sports beyond snorkeling.
Getting there from Phuket International Airport
