Arinara Bangtao Beach Resort

Arinara Bangtao Beach Resort is a family friendly beachfront hotel set directly on Bang Tao Beach on the west coast of Phuket. With 202 rooms and suites, an oasis style swimming pool at its heart and a private stretch of one of the longest beaches on the island, the resort is built for relaxed island holidays where the sea breeze and soft white sand are only a short stroll from your balcony. The property describes itself as the best family friendly destination on Bangtao Beach, offering stylish accommodation, easy going dining and plenty of fun facilities for every age.

The self contained, sea sided architecture is designed for comfort in harmony with the natural surroundings. An enormous oasis concept swimming pool, known as the heart of Arinara, sits just one step from many of the balconies, making it easy for families to gather and for independent travellers to enjoy a calm, well serviced setting close to the water. Verdurous gardens wrap around the buildings, giving the whole resort a green, restful feel.

Rooms and suites

Rooms are spread across low rise two storey buildings surrounded by green gardens, with spacious sizes starting from 50 up to 78 square metres plus large balconies and Southeast Asian decor throughout. The line up covers deluxe rooms in pool view and garden view, grand deluxe rooms, studios, pool access rooms, premium and grand pool access rooms, plus junior suites and the flagship Arinara suite. Many rooms feature two separate king size double beds, giving comfortable space for a family of up to four, along with a cosy living area with couches and a private balcony. Pool access categories open directly onto the water, while garden view rooms look out over tropical greenery, so guests can pick between watching the pool activity or settling into quiet garden serenity. Every room comes with the modern comforts you expect from a resort of this level.

Pools, beach and dining

Water is the centrepiece here. The freeform swimming pool is the main gathering spot, with a fun play area for children and calmer corners for adults, and it is only a few steps from the private beachfront. On the sand, the Bali inspired Beach Club serves international favourites reworked with locally sourced ingredients, while a relaxed, family friendly Beach Bar offers drinks and light refreshments for all ages. The beachfront kitchen is open daily from noon until midnight, and the resort places a clear emphasis on sustainable, freshly harvested produce from land and sea. For couples, the resort also arranges a romantic beach dinner, and it can host weddings and meetings by the shore.

Facilities for families

Beyond the pool and beach, Arinara Bangtao Beach Resort is well set up for longer stays. There is a fitness centre, a kids club with a dedicated kids room, a childrens swimming pool with a pool slider, a kids playground and a ball house, plus a games room with a pool table, table tennis and board games. Practical services include 24 hour reception and guest service, room service, laundry service, luggage storage, in room safe boxes, an on site ATM and complimentary Wi Fi in both rooms and public areas. Sustainability runs through the resort under its Elegant by Nature programme, which supports the local community and reduces the property environmental footprint through responsible operations.
