Families make up one of the largest and most loyal segments of villa guests in Phuket and Koh Samui. When parents travel, they look for more than just a pool and a place to sleep — they want a space where their children feel safe, entertained, and cared for. By adding thoughtful kids’ amenities, villa owners can not only increase bookings but also build long-term repeat customers.
Why Families Choose Villas Over Hotels
- Privacy & Space: Parents prefer villas for multiple bedrooms, private pools, and living areas.
- Home Comforts: Kitchens, laundry, and flexible dining make villa stays less stressful than hotels.
- Safety: A secure environment where children can play without crowds.
But what truly sets a villa apart is how it caters to kids’ needs.
Top Kids’ Amenities That Win Families Over
1. Private Pool Safety & Fun
- Shallow areas or pool fences reassure parents.
- Pool toys and floats make kids happy.
2. Indoor Entertainment
- Smart TVs with kids’ channels, board games, books, and toys keep children busy.
- Dedicated playrooms or cozy corners add extra charm.
3. Baby & Toddler Essentials
- High chairs, cribs, stair gates, and bottle sterilizers save parents the trouble of packing.
- Families are more likely to book when these are included.
4. Outdoor Play Options
- Garden space, swings, or even a small play structure turn your villa into a playground.
- Families often choose villas with space for kids to run freely.
5. Family Dining Options
- In-villa chef services with child-friendly menus.
- Kid-sized cutlery and dining setups create a welcoming touch.
6. Extra Services Parents Appreciate
- Babysitters, nannies, or kids’ activity packages (crafts, games, swimming lessons).
- These premium add-ons allow parents to relax — and they’re willing to pay for it.
How Kids’ Amenities Boost Bookings
- Higher Occupancy: Family groups often stay longer and travel in off-peak seasons (school breaks).
- Premium Pricing: Villas with family-friendly setups can charge more per night.
- Better Reviews: Parents appreciate the thoughtfulness, leading to stronger ratings and repeat stays.
- Word of Mouth: Families love to recommend truly kid-friendly stays to friends.
