In a major development for Asia-Pacific family tourism, global resort brand Club Med has announced the official opening of its Lai Thai Family Oasis at Club Med Phuket, making it the brand’s first-ever dedicated family zone in the Asia Pacific region. The launch marks a bold step in redefining the concept of family vacations through immersive design, thoughtful amenities, and child-centered recreation.
The new Family Oasis officially opened its doors on April 6, 2025, following two years of resort-wide enhancements. Positioned in Thailand’s iconic island destination of Phuket, the Family Oasis is expected to draw growing interest from regional markets such as Vietnam, where demand for luxury, family-friendly travel is on the rise.
Lai Thai Family Oasis: A Sanctuary for All Generations
Infused with traditional Lai Thai motifs, the new space offers a vibrant blend of Thai culture and modern family comforts. The Oasis includes a Splash Park, complete with colorful slides, water canons, spray zones, giant buckets, and a poolside snack bar—ensuring an exciting yet safe experience for toddlers and children.
The accommodation area is equally family-forward: Each room comfortably accommodates two adults, two children under 11, and a baby, while offering features like mobility-friendly access, ground-floor terraces opening to the park, and upper-level balconies with scenic views.
Family Programs, Kid’s Clubs, and Multi-Zone Resort Access
The Lai Thai Family Oasis is a core component of Club Med Phuket’s new three-zone layout, which includes a serene Zen Area and a vibrant Heart of the Resort. The resort also offers a wide variety of sports, cultural workshops, and wellness activities, making it a comprehensive destination for multigenerational travelers.
Families can take advantage of Club Med’s signature Kids Club, offering childcare and activities for children from 4 months to 17 years, supervised by trained G.O.s (Gentil Organisateurs). According to Club Med, this new space caters to growing demand for multi-generational vacations and safe, all-inclusive experiences tailored to young children, especially across markets like Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, and beyond.
Phuket Positioned as Family Travel Hub for Asia Pacific
The Phuket resort’s revitalization project, which began in 2022, has now fully materialized with the opening of the Family Oasis. With its immersive design, activity-packed infrastructure, and inclusive services, the Lai Thai Family Oasis is not only expected to bolster Phuket’s reputation as a family destination but also to serve as a template for future Club Med expansions in Asia-Pacific.
Enhanced Travel Experiences Across Thailand and Vietnam
Club Med’s focus on cultural design and accessibility, with mobility-friendly rooms and customized activity kits for various age groups, aligns with global travel trends prioritizing experience-based, immersive, and intergenerational travel. The brand’s choice to announce this launch via Vietnamese media channels, including outlets in Ho Chi Minh City, signals the importance of Vietnam as an outbound tourism market for Thai luxury resorts.
Bookings and Regional Availability
Travelers in the Asia Pacific region can now book the Lai Thai Family Oasis directly through Club Med’s official website, though terms may vary depending on local market access and travel policies. This media release, distributed primarily within Vietnam, may also be picked up by regional tourism news outlets, offering extended visibility throughout Southeast Asia.
Club Med Phuket: Redefining the All-Inclusive Family Vacation
With this launch, Club Med Phuket stands at the intersection of luxury and leisure, providing families with thoughtfully crafted experiences grounded in cultural identity, wellness, and recreation. It sets a new benchmark for family travel in the Asia Pacific and places Phuket firmly on the map as a leader in resort-based family tourism.
