Best Family Friendly Hotels in Prachuap Khiri Khan Province

This themed resort resembles a Thai village built around a lily-pond. Set in fourteen acres of lush grounds, Thai tradition permeates through to the 190 rooms and suites. Here, visitors will enjoy elegance and luxury with all modern amenities, including terraces or balconies. Guests can swim in a pool, walk barefoot over soft white sand, or keep fit with a game of tennis or table tennis. A spa treatment is the ideal prelude to a meal in an on-site restaurant serving international or local cuisine, or in the busy town centre, where excellent golf courses also await.

Less than half an hours’ walk from the beach, the accommodation at this IHG resort is formed of two wings: The Beach Wing and BluPort Wing. Whichever you choose you’ll have amenities like BOSE sound systems and iPod docks at your disposal, as well as soundproofed windows. Shared areas include the large outdoor pool, multiple restaurants (including Pirom Restaurant and Azure Restaurant & Bar), a newsstand, a florist, a souvenir boutique, a jacuzzi, a steam room and a fitness centre with a programme of classes.

Set among tropical gardens in the Kao Takiap area the Hyatt Regency Hua Hin is known for its royal legacy, golf courses and stunning beaches, and close to a shopping village, the hotel boasts an award-winning spa, gym, tennis court, water slide and several pools. Air-conditioned rooms and suites sport balconies, flat-screen televisions, free WiFi and iPod docks, coffee makers and mini-bars, with a business centre, laundry service and free parking also available. To complete their all-round sense of well-being, guests can choose between five restaurants and bars, including a beach location and a pool-side bar.

Originally the Hua Hin Railway Hotel, the Centara Grand Beach Resort dates back to the coming of the railroad, and today it’s considered a classic. Renovations and extensions have tastefully maintained its colonial-style rooms with wood furnishings, complementing its beach-side setting and landscaped gardens, while its central location in a popular part of town makes it ideal for sightseeing and shopping. A fitness centre and spa have brought the resort up to date, with restaurants, bars and a grill completing the process.

Stay just a few minutes’ from the Night Market and Hua Hin’s many highlights, at this Marriott Resort & Spa. It’s set within carefully manicured grounds and is built around a long winding lagoon (with bridges over), making it feel somewhat of a village. Onsite you’ll find five swimming pools and several dining options including a beachside seafood restaurant, the Greatroom and the Amber Kitchen. Double, king-size and family rooms are available, some with direct access (via sliding doors) to the pool and others with their own terraces. Quan Spa offers a range of treatments and packages.

Book a Junior Suite with a pool view, a Terrace Suite with a lagoon view or a one or two-bedroom Private Pool Villa with up to 200 square metres of space to yourselves. The Mövenpick Asara Resort & Spa is home to one of the best seafood eateries in town; the Baan Dum Ocean Front Restaurant, which hosts live music during the weekends and holidays. Head to the Kampu Restaurant for a daily chocolate hour, or for brasserie-style food at any time of day. Cocktails are mixed in the Ocean Bar and you can order artisanal cakes for a celebration (gluten-free options are available).
