The best Phuket hotels with a water park or water slides on site

The hospitable island of Phuket is one of the most popular resorts in Thailand. There is entertainment for every taste, but many families with children prefer hotels with their own water park or water slides. Their presence provides the child with a rich leisure time throughout the vacation, and parents - saves costs and eliminates the need to look for new entertainment every day. Unlike Turkey, there are not many hotels with water parks in Thailand. Most of them are luxury resorts of categories 4 * and 5 *, focused on family vacations. In the high season, they have to book rooms in advance, since the relatively modest selection of such accommodation options ensures their high popularity. We offer you an overview of the best hotels in Phuket with water parks and water slides.

Splash Beach Resort is the only hotel with a real water park

There is only one water park on the island - Splash Jungle Waterpark. It is located on a quiet and relatively unpopular Mai Khao beach, which is known among tourists mainly because of its location near the airport and the ability to take atmospheric photos with low-flying planes on it.

The water park belongs to the Splash Beach Resort, which makes it the only option on the island with a real water amusement park. Everyone is allowed access to the water park, the cost starts from 1,350 baht per adult and 630 baht per child 5-11 years old when booking on the site. If necessary, provide a round trip transfer worth 400 baht.

Most Splash Beach Resort rooms include access to the water park. The hotel’s official website says that free admission is provided to anyone who book directly through the website. If the application is part of a group reservation - the tour operators have group reservations, the water park is not included in the price. However, the reviews of tourists in 2019 say something else: free access to the water park is provided to absolutely everyone who lives in the Splash Beach Resort, regardless of room category and type of reservation. The only condition is to put 500 baht on spending on an electronic bracelet:

cell rental;
towel rental;
rental of gazebos;
food and drinks in a cafe.

The use of sunbeds, pools and all, without exception, slides is free. All unused money is returned at the end of the day, it is impossible to transfer it on the bracelet the next day - it burns out. According to guest reviews, visiting the water park is unlimited: you can walk at least every day and repeatedly leave its territory during the day.

Prices in the water park are higher than in the streets:

tea - 95;
fresh - 120;
towel - 100;
the standard serving of french fries is 170.

Features of the water park

The water park is relatively small - 22,400 m², in size it can be compared with similar parks in Kuala Lumpur and Singapore. At the same time, it boasts a developed infrastructure and interesting design, since it was built by a real industry giant - WhiteWater Industries. This company was engaged in the creation of the legendary Disneyland and Sea World Park in America, all in all, on its account more than 4,000 implemented entertainment projects around the world.
