Sunwing Bangtao Beach
Phuket, Thailand
It’s a tough decision at the Sunwing Bangtao Beach – relax on the sands all day, or join in with the likes of aqua aerobics, petanque and pool games.
The hotel’s a top pick for families. Not only do you get four pools, two kids’ pools and clubs for kids and teens, but there’s also a busy roll call of activities. Think treasure hunts, movie nights and kids’ shows.
You only have to pad through the tropical grounds to reach the beach. It’s a typically Thai affair, with white sands and swaying palms. There are eateries on the sand, and along the street outside the hotel.
Holidays here come with 24/7 support on the TUI app and by phone. You won't have a TUI rep visiting your hotel, but can still get in touch around the clock. Find out more about our service while you're away.
