Travel blogger Holly O'Sullivan recently had the opportunity to write us a resort review about Club Med Phuket, which is located directly on the beach in Kata Bay.

The Club Med resort in Phuket, built in the style of traditional longhouses, is very popular. Surrounded by lush greenery and with a selection of pools, Club Med offers something for every type of holiday – whether for multi-generational family vacations or honeymoons.

Club Med Phuket offers three room categories: Deluxe, Club, and Suite. The Club rooms are ideal for families and offer garden views. The Deluxe rooms are more elegantly designed, feature a balcony or terrace, and are decorated in a traditional Thai style.

The suites are like a dream. With a huge en-suite bathroom, a large balcony, an additional bathroom, a living room, and a walk-in closet, they leave nothing to be desired. All suites offer views of the gardens and Kata Beach in the distance.

There are four kids' club programs (from 4 months old) that offer an incredible range of child-friendly activities, including an introduction to Thai culture through traditional arts and crafts.

At the Club Med wellness center you will find:

  • 5 treatment rooms (single or double treatment rooms)
  • 1 treatment room (single room)
  • 2 rooms with bathroom (single or double room) – Turkish bath; maximum 4 people – whirlpool bath;

    • The special 'Club Med Paradise' treatment includes: a 30-minute aromatic herbal treatment with whirlpool bath, a 30-minute body scrub, a 30-minute body wrap, and then a 2-hour body and face massage.

    Club Med offers numerous and varied activities, including a trapeze school, diving, a golf school, and a wide selection of day trips such as elephant safaris, excursions to the picturesque Phang Nga Bay, and much more. You can find all the offers here.

    Club Med offers the most impressive lunch buffet I have ever experienced. In the recently renovated restaurant, The Mamuang, you'll find a wide variety of culinary delights, from a build-your-own burger bar and traditional Thai cuisine to fish and chips and curries.

    In addition, Chu-Da, which is connected to the hotel via a walkway surrounded by pools and green spaces, offers a warm and cozy atmosphere with a selection of traditional Thai dishes.

    Club Med is located approximately 50 km from Phuket Airport. Some accommodation packages include airport transfers; however, these can also be booked separately with some advance notice. Further information can be found here.
