For pure relaxation: A 15-minute drive from the airport and a hop and a skip to Phuket’s longest beach, Anantara Mai Khao Phuket Villas (anantara.com) is the perfect five-star family holiday in a secluded yet convenient spot. Bliss out in the spa, where children over five can accompany you and have an aromatherapy massage. There’s a large resort pool, plus private villa pools. The Turtle Club is free for ages four to 12. Speaking of which, they can arrange for you to visit the marine turtle shelter next door at the Marriott. And if you’re lucky, you might even see a turtle-releasing ceremony by conservationists.
