Katathani Phuket Beach Resort
Updated 1 July 2026
- Baby

- Kid

Katathani sprawls along almost the whole of quiet Kata Noi, one of the prettiest and calmest beaches in south Phuket. Six swimming pools, three kids pools and a couple of small water slides mean the children rarely run out of water, and the two-level Club Tully kids club is a genuine highlight. It is a big, well-run classic that families return to year after year, helped by a beach that stays gentle for much of the dry season. The trade-off is a location away from the busier hubs, which for many parents is exactly the appeal.
Our verdict
A big, well-loved classic on one of Phuket's calmest beaches, with six pools, three kids pools and a two-level kids club families return to.
The rooms
The Pool Access Family Room sleeps two adults and three children under twelve, with a bunk bed, trundle beds and a small fenced plunge pool on the terrace. Families tend to prefer the Bhuri Wing across the road, which sits closest to the kids pool and Club Tully. Cots are available on request, and the sheer choice of room types makes it easy to match your family size.

Six pools, small slides and Club Tully keep water-loving kids happy all week.

Parents also ask
Is the kids club free?
Yes, the two-level Club Tully is complimentary, with supervised crafts, games and play areas for a range of ages.
Which wing is best for families?
The Bhuri Wing sits closest to the kids pool and Club Tully, so you avoid crossing the road with tired children, though the Thani Wing is right on the beach.
Is Kata Noi safe for swimming?
It is one of the calmer south beaches and lovely in the dry season, but from May to October rip currents build, so obey the flags and use the pools when red flags fly.

Rooms are large and calm, and the Family Studios and two-bedroom suites are built for parents who need space and a door to close at nap time. Most rooms sleep a family of four comfortably, cots and bed rails come free on request, and interconnecting options let bigger families spread out. Ground-floor rooms with direct lawn or pool access save a lot of pushchair wrangling.

Themed family rooms with a partitioned kids area are the pick if you want the little ones to settle while you stay up.

Centara Grand Beach Resort Phuket
Deluxe Family Rooms and family suites sleep four, and many connect so larger groups can open a door between two rooms. Cots are free on request, and the layout keeps most families a short walk from the water park and the kids clubs. Ask for a room facing the pools rather than the road if you want the little ones to nap without street noise.
