One for the Family
Off to Thailand with the kids? Novotel knows just how to entertain and pamper guests of every age group, making the brand an ideal choice for multigenerational travel.
Happy kids are the key to exceptional family holidays. At its hotels and resorts in top destinations around Thailand, Novotel creates memorable experiences for all ages, with delightful kids’ zones, special activities, generously sized family rooms, and balanced menus. On top of that, Novotel has rolled out a special family treat across its hotels and resorts: children under the age of 16 who share a room with their parents or grandparents can enjoy free lodging and breakfast at no extra cost. Located on a hillside rising above the west coast of Thailand’s favorite holiday island, Novotel
Phuket Resort is cocooned in more than three hectares of tropical landscaped gardens. While the property lies just a short stroll from the busy shopping strip of Patong Beach, life’s simple pleasures await on the grounds. Adults can take a dip in the three-tiered pool with a view or admire sunset from the terrace, as their children frolic at the poolside outdoor playground or the in-house Kids Club. Open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., the latter offers a roster of immersive activities such as herbal gardening, face painting, and arts and crafts such as batik painting. A babysitting service is also available on request.
Nearby, Novotel Phuket Karon Beach Resort
and Spa is a short stroll away from the island’s third-longest beach. Though it’s just a five- to 10-minute drive from the excitement of Patong, this is the place to get away from it all. Food is a highlight, with scrumptious breakfasts at Horizons Café, casual poolside dining at Joe Kool’s, and Thai favorites at signature restaurant TAI. The resort’s three lagoon-style swimming pools include one for children with a water slide, and Kids Club offers a wide selection of games and daily activities to keep your little ones occupied from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. each day.

Elegantly designed with a contemporary twist on traditional Thai style, Novotel Samui Resort Chaweng Beach Kandaburi is a favorite for families seeking the perfect blend of island solitude and kidfriendly activities. Teak-accented guest rooms feature spacious interiors and large balconies, with the 20 family rooms adding even more space and bunk beds for the little ones. Three restaurants prepare exceptional international cuisine and local delicacies, with the postcard-worthy sea views from @ Beach Restaurant & Bar reinforcing the island-paradise vibe. A two-and-a-half hour drive from Bangkok brings you to Novotel Rayong Rim Pae
Resort, which overlooks the Gulf of Thailand from the powdery sands of Rim Pae Beach. This coastal retreat in a leafy garden setting offers spacious rooms for families, alongside a separate children’s pool, toys and games at the kid’s playground, and a host of water sports and beach activities to choose from. The resort is also a convenient jumping- off point for excursions to the islands of Koh Samet and Koh Chang. Families staying over the weekend can choose to extend their quality time with late checkout at 5 p.m. on Sundays.
