A Perfect Getaway at Zenmaya Phuket

A Perfect Getaway at Zenmaya Phuket

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Zenmaya Phuket in Thailand with my 7-year-old son, Leonardo, and we couldn’t have asked for a more kid-friendly and enjoyable experience! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the resort’s thoughtful attention to families, especially those traveling with young children.

One of the highlights of our stay was the variety of activities available for kids. Leonardo had an absolute blast at the resort’s popular pool foam parties – a fun and lively event that added a unique touch to our vacation. It’s an excellent way for kids to have a great time, and we loved seeing him interact with other young guests in such a festive atmosphere.

Zenmaya rocky beach is abundant with fish

The resort’s beach was another fantastic feature. With clear waters and abundant marine life, it’s a perfect spot for snorkeling. Leonardo was fascinated by the colorful fish, and I felt confident knowing the beach area was safe and easily accessible. It’s the ideal setting for a relaxing yet exciting day by the sea.

We were also thoroughly impressed by the lovely staff at Zenmaya Phuket. The team went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable, especially when it came to entertaining and looking after Leonardo. They were always happy to engage with him, whether it was during the pool foam party or simply offering friendly greetings throughout the day. Their warmth and attention to detail truly made a difference in making us feel at home.

Views over Patong Bay from our pool room

Our room was another highlight of the stay. Generously sized with modern amenities, it provided us with all the comfort we needed. The icing on the cake was the private access to an infinity pool, where we could enjoy a peaceful swim while taking in unobstructed views over Patong Bay. It was a perfect retreat after a day of fun-filled activities.

When it came to dining, Zenmaya Phuket certainly didn’t disappoint. The on-site restaurant offered a great variety of dishes, and the food was consistently delicious. Whether it was local Thai delicacies or international favorites, we were always satisfied. However, the breakfast buffet was the true standout! The feast of fresh fruit, pastries, hot dishes, and made-to-order stations made for an indulgent start to each day. It’s clear that they prioritize quality and variety to cater to both adults and children.

Breakfast buffer complete with Nutella!

In summary, Zenmaya Phuket exceeded all expectations for a family vacation. With kid-friendly amenities, a fantastic pool scene, amazing beach access for snorkeling, a generous room with an infinity pool and unobstructed views over Patong Bay, and a top-notch dining experience, this resort is the perfect place for families to unwind and create lasting memories.

We can’t wait to return!
