There are few holiday desitinations as welcoming and luxurious as Thailand to head to this summer and the guys at TUI have a superb selection of Thai holiday deals to choose from. From navigating ancient temples and diving headfirst into buzzing street food scenes, all the way to lounging on pristine beaches and indulging in pure luxury hotels, Thailand serves up every single excuse you could possibly need for an absolutely epic trip.
Dubbed the ‘Land of Smiles’ thanks to its famously welcoming populace, Thailand goes way beyond just friendly faces. Trying to cram this country into a neat little nutshell is simply impossible – it’s a place defined by its incredible, exhilarating diversity, with every region offering something new. At the very heart of it all, you’ll find the spiritual backbone in its myriad shrines, temples, and monasteries, known as ‘wats’, providing cultural depth at every turn. And then there are the beaches. Check out our pick of 6 of the best TUI Thailand holidays below:
Apsara Beachfront Resort and Villa, Khao Lak
Finding that sweet spot between contemporary style and killer sea views is key to a memorable coastal escape. The Apsara Beachfront Resort and Villa absolutely nails it, delivering a blend of modern good looks coupled with the kind of impressive sea views that you’ll want to soak in every single day.
This is a stylish hotel that boasts some seriously prime real estate, sitting right on Pakarang Beach, meaning you’re just steps from the sand and the soothing sound of the waves. Lounging options are plentiful, with a standout infinity pool that seems to merge right into the ocean horizon – an absolute must-visit spot. They’ve also got pools specifically for the kids, keeping the whole crew happy. For a dose of pure relaxation, the Apsara Spa is well worth seeking out, especially for one of their signature Royal Thai Silk treatments.
Interestingly, the hotel splits its offering across two distinct zones. There’s the resort side, made up of rooms housed in low-rise buildings, each with its own set of facilities. But if you’re looking to step things up, cross the walkway to the contemporary villa side, where you’ll unlock access to a load of extra features and amenities designed to elevate your stay even further. It’s a stylish, well-equipped spot designed for soaking up that beachfront life.
Cape Sienna Phuket Gourmet Hotel & Villas, Phuket
Set in a part of Phuket known as Millionaire’s Mile, the Cape Sienna Phuket Gourmet Hotel and Villas live up to the promise of their postcode.
This property offers up views like they’re going out of fashion. It’s positioned on a headland, overlooking Kamala Bay, so the vistas of the Andaman Sea are uninterrupted.
There’s a swimming pool, a spa and a rooftop bar here, as well as a couple of restaurants. Design-wise, it’s all white walls and oversized canvases that wouldn’t look out of place in a New York penthouse.
Le Meridien Khao Lak Resort & Spa
The Le Meridien Khao Lak Resort & Spa is set to impress with its seafront location, spacious grounds and three sizeable pools.
The Le Meridien Khao Lak Resort & Spa has a standout pool – complete with fountains, sunken sunloungers and swim-up bars – you can see all the way down to the white-sand beach.
Accommodation options include family-sized suites and superior double rooms. They’re all decorated in a contemporary style, with calming shades of cream and blue.
Arinara Bangtao Beach Resort, Phuket
The Arinara Bangtao Beach Resort has a king-sized beach on its doorstep. And it’s only a 10-minute drive from the Laguna Canal Village shopping centre.
This place sits on a big, wide band of beach – one of the longest in Phuket. It’s dotted with a small amount of seafood joints and a watersports hut offering surfing lessons and paddleboards.
Traditional Thai décor lends the hotel its good looks, with dark-wood furniture decking out everything from the deluxe swim-up rooms to the restaurants.
Aonang Villa Resort, Krabi
Perched beside dramatic limestone peaks and a white-sand beach, the outlook’s set to scenic at the Aonang Villa Resort.
When they built the Aonang Villa Resort, they had both beach and bars in mind. The hotel’s set on Ao Nang’s prom, so the sands are steps away. Plus, the bars and restaurants of the strip are just around the corner.
Exotic touches are everywhere. You’re greeted by a big, bright-purple tree in reception. The pool resembles a lagoon, cocooned by palms. And, in the background, you’ll see the soaring cliffs that Krabi’s famous for.
TUI BLUE The Passage, Kho Samui
TUI BLUE The Passage bases you by one of Koh Samui’s most scenic belts of sand, and it serves up two palm-fringed pools.
This TUI BLUE hotel is the perfect pick for a laidback Thai getaway. The seaside postcode and a pair of pools make downtime just a finger-click away. Thai cooking classes and weekly yoga sessions throw in a taste of the local culture, too.
Our TUI BLUE collection is full of hotels that combine best-in-class service, authentic local cuisine and activities to suit you. And this particular property comes with the Smaller Hotel highlight – that means things are cosy and more intimate, and there’ll be a more home-like feel to the place.
