Family Resorts in Hua Hin & Cha-Am
7 Stays with Kids Clubs & Slides
Kids play all day!

If you count the toys in the water, the Marriott Hua Hin comes first. It's a beachfront resort in central Hua Hin, opened in 2016, with five swimming pools — including a big one with a giant slide for kids and adults alike — plus the Tree House, a treehouse-themed water playground for little ones. The beachfront kids club runs daily 9:00 to 17:30 with real activities, from gel-candle making to hat painting, so you can drop the children and head for the spa or the pool yourself. The resort is a walk from the BlúPort mall and the train station, so you get the beach and somewhere to wander in the evening in one spot.

Amari Hua Hin has the most family reviews on this list, over a thousand. What parents like is the large 38-metre main pool with a separate shallow kids pool so toddlers can get in without you hovering, plus an indoor kids club off the lobby that runs a long day, 7am to 7pm, with toys and staff to watch them. The policy that actually saves money is kids under 8 eat free. It's in Khao Takiab, right by Cicada Market, a four-minute walk; it isn't directly on the sand but there's a beach shuttle down to the water.

The Sheraton Hua Hin (it's actually on the Cha-Am side) is nine low-rise buildings wrapped around a 560-metre lagoon pool that winds through the gardens across the whole resort, with three separate kids pools and a water slide. The headline for families is StarClub, which the resort calls Hua Hin's largest kids club — an outdoor playground, a rock-climbing wall and a house full of games and art. The beach out front is the Cha-Am sand, with gentle waves that suit kids in the water. It's a way out of Hua Hin town, so it's a place to settle into the resort for a few days rather than wander the streets.

Mövenpick Asara is an all-suite-and-villa beachfront resort of 96 units set in tropical gardens with lotus ponds. It suits families who want space, because the smallest room starts at 60 sqm and there are two-bedroom suites and Pool Villas with a private pool that sleep the whole family. There are two seafront pools with a kids pool, a kids club and kids stay free, and the brand touch the children love most is the Mövenpick ice cream handed out free every afternoon. It's on the Khao Takiab beach, ten minutes' drive to town, and close enough to the Black Mountain Water Park to drive over for the day.

Wora Bura is a 4-star colonial-style resort on the Khao Takiab beach that families pick because it's genuinely on the sand at a gentler price than the 5-stars. There's a large, shaded main pool with a separate kids pool right by the beach, so you step off the pool onto the gentle Khao Takiab sand, plus a kids club and a playground. Rooms are done in dark wood with a calm feel, and there are Family Suites and beachfront villas for bigger groups. It's in Nong Kae, a 10–15 minute drive to town, close to Cicada Market and the Vana Nava water park.

Rest Detail suits families who aren't chasing a water park but want a beachfront house that sleeps everyone in one place. It has the highest score on the list, 9.4. The draw is the two-bedroom Beach Rest Pavilions with their own kitchen, and Pool Villas of three to four bedrooms, ideal for two families together or for bringing the grandparents. There are two pools with a kids pool, and the beach out front is the quiet, private Khao Tao sand. The mood leans toward calm relaxation — older kids can swim and play in the sand, but there's less laid on for toddlers than at the chains. Children aged 4 and over are welcome.

Springfield @ Sea is a 4-star beachfront resort in Cha-Am that families choose because it's the best value on the list, with rooms starting in the low ฿2,000s. What the kids like is the pool with a water slide and the outdoor Kids Park playground, plus an indoor kids club. What suits bigger families is the Family Suite — two bedrooms and two bathrooms, with room for the kids to run around. The beach out front is the wide, quiet Cha-Am sand, easy to stroll. It's part of the Springfield group that has a golf course, so golfing parents can bring the family along. It's in Cha-Am, about 25–30 minutes from Hua Hin town.
