(Hong Kong, 1 August 2019) – Children are finishing up their school year and families throughout Asia are beginning to plan time away to recoup and connect. Combining all the elements of the ideal holiday itinerary in one simple location, ROBINSON Club Khao Lak answers the top five needs* every Chinese family has been known to look for in their Summer getaway, putting parents’ minds at ease with a hassle-free, all-encompassing resort.
Thailand ticks all the boxes for families looking for a cost-effective, sun-filled holiday with fun for all ages. With luscious greenery, beautiful beaches and poolside fun, ROBINSON Club Khao Lak is located on the west coast of Thailand between the shores of the Andaman Sea and Khao Lak National Park nature reserve.
According to a recent travel survey, the top five things for guests when booking a family trip are all answered for by ROBINSON’s Khao Lak resort.
1. Exploring New Cultures
At ROBINSON Club Khao Lak, guests can book fascinating excursions (provided by ROBINSON’s parent company TUI) to local sights and beautiful nature spots in the surrounding of the resort, experiencing true Thai culture. Allowing families to explore the nearby waters, local villages and rainforests, excursions start from 2,200THB and 1,100THB for children. Guests can navigate through caves and lagoons on Panak Island, Hong Island and the iconic James Bond Island, on a full day excursion on the Andaman Sea. Travellers can head to Khao Sok National Park, one of Thailand’s natural treasures, visiting the lake, trekking through the rain forest and dining in a floating bamboo hut. Finally, fully immersing guests in Takua Pa culture for the day, families can meet locals, hunt for fresh produce at the market, drop into a nearby school and feast on traditional Thai dishes made by the culinary teachers.
2. Relaxation
Statistics show that 65% Chinese travellers prioritise relaxing time whilst on vacation and at ROBINSON Club Khao Lak, family travel and relaxation really can go hand-in-hand, thanks to ROBY Club, which allows parents to enjoy child-free time whilst providing highly personalised care, adventure games, excursions, tournaments, and performance programs to guarantee a smile on every child’s face. There is age-appropriate care for the age groups 3-6 years, 7-12 years and 13-17 years. For parents travelling with babies (0-2 years) the ROBY Baby set can be booked free of charge.
Once the kids are catered for, relaxation can begin with exclusive WellFit® wellness and spa treatments with licensed trainers, masseurs, physiotherapists, and beauticians. Facilities include a Finnish sauna, Sanarium and both indoor and outdoor dedicated relaxation zones with an adults-only relaxation pool. Guests can head to the WellFit® spa and experience the signature FeelEnergy Massage; a ritualistic mix of traditional massage techniques, Shiatsu elements and Ayurvedic strokes. This stimulating massage features specially chosen lounge music and fragrant essential oils, whilst the masseuse alternates between hard and softer pressure to relax both the body and spirit.
3. Trying Something New
With a huge variety of age-appropriate sports and fitness activities, tourists will find one of the biggest attractions in Khao Lak 40 metres under water, thanks to a once in a lifetime diving experience**, also suitable for guests who have never dived before. Escaping everyday surroundings to explore the vivid colors, pristine beauty and fascinating aquatic creatures of the underwater world, participants can sign up for a one-day tour including two guided open water dives and if guests are lucky, an up close meeting with a variety of rare tropical fish. For absolute beginners there is also a free trial dive in the resort's swimming pool twice a week.
4. Quality Time
According to an Agoda report, quality time with each other is the biggest driver for family travel. The ROBINSON Club Khao Lak embraces this and encourages guests of all ages to join together through the group signature Sportstainment program, a perfect combination of sports, games and fun for all the family. With an unparalleled variety of activities, from beach volleyball and water polo, to table tennis and trend-led sport Crossboccia® (a freestyle version of boules), small groups or larger teams can take part in organised competitions, battle between generations, or simply play for fun.
5. Escaping Routine
The Khao Lak resort offers free entry to a variety of events, including evening theatre performances. To break up a day by the pool, popular JeKaMi quizzes (meaning ‘open to everyone’) are hosted poolside; and guests can experience Taste Jam, an on-site street food festival, held exclusively on the first and third Tuesday of every month. Imaginative mobile stands deliver juicy beef burgers, premium finger food and delicious cocktails to-go.
And to limit any stress, ROBINSON offers the option of a cash-free getaway, with drinks, food and activities all covered. Full board made by ROBINSON comes with a rich breakfast, lunch and dinner buffet in the main restaurant including coffee specialties for breakfast, fresh juices, soft drinks, beer and table wine as well as two bottles of drinking water per room per day. There are also three specialty restaurants and five bars***, including a beautiful beach bar, overlooking the long stretching sands and serving sundowners every evening; guests can reserve a table on the outdoor terrace at the Main Restaurant, then end the evening with cocktails served on the beach.
