The Surin Hotel, Phuket

Linked by meandering walkways, the Hillside Cottages cascade down the tropical slopes, shrouded in rainforest. Be prepared for a steep climb. The Superior, Deluxe and Beach Cottages are lower down the hillside, closer to the beach and pool, and for those who prefer drifting off to the gentle lapping of ocean waves, the Beach Studios and Suites offer direct access on to the sand! We love the simple, understated style – Thai rustic serenity meets New England beach house chic!

The dramatic black-tiled swimming pool is always a talking point and when it comes to food, think authentic Thai, fabulous seafood and relaxed beach barbecues. Head to the Sunset and Beach Bars for cocktails and there are some great local restaurants close by. A fitness centre and the indulgent Surin Spa complete the scene! 

The Surin is all about the beach – and it’s one of the most serene and beautiful stretches of sand in Phuket. For families seeking calm waters, soft white sand and truly peaceful days by the sea, it’s an exceptional choice. The setting is naturally stunning, creating an effortless, back-to-nature feel that’s hard to replicate elsewhere on the island.

The Surin is best suited to families with confident swimmers and children who are happy with the simple pleasures of a beach holiday. This is not a high-energy, activity-packed resort; instead, it offers a slower, more relaxed pace where days are spent swimming, playing in the sand and enjoying time together.

A Simpler, More Relaxed Style of Family Holiday
Rather than a busy kids’ club schedule, The Surin focuses on space, tranquillity and quality time. It’s ideal for families who want to properly switch off in a beautiful setting, without the need for constant planning or structured entertainment.

Top Tip for Families
This is the resort to choose if you want days that revolve entirely around the beach. You can happily spend the whole day by the sea,swimming, relaxing and enjoying the surroundings without needing to plan anything else.
