Offering a welcome break from the hustle and bustle of city life, at Aleenta Phuket parents can relax and unwind while little ones splash in crystal clear, calm waters, breaking up the day with visits to the playground, Children’s pool or with a Kids Club session (making time for a sneaky spa visit!). Further afield, stunning natural wonders including Khao Sok National Park are in easy reach, promising hidden lagoons, Castaway beaches and rich, cultural experiences. Two restaurants, alongside kitchenettes in larger villas, offer the ultimate in dining flexibility, with half and full board options available plus lots of local restaurants. A far flung beach break at it’s finest, Aleenta Phuket is the perfect tropical retreat for all ages

Transfer
A nice, easy transfer awaits at the other end, as Aleenta Phuket-Phang Nga Resort & Spa is just a 25 minute drive from Phuket International Airport
