SAii Resorts, the free-spirited lifestyle brand from S Hotels and Resorts PCL, has always strived to make a positive difference to the lives of its experience-seeking guests. Every vacation creates a gateway to personal enhancement – a chance for curious travellers to discover different cultures, explore new environments and try exciting activities. For young people, travelling can even spark a passion that lasts a lifetime. With a choice of upper-upscale resorts in southern Thailand’s most intriguing and idyllic island destinations, SAii Resorts presents outstanding opportunities for couples and families to combine a dream vacation with educational experiences for all ages, including cultural discoveries and marine conservation, arts & crafts, wellness adventures, energizing sports and world-class wellness.
SAii Phi Phi Island Village, which is nestled in 70 acres of lush, tropical gardens on Koh Phi Phi Don, is the perfect setting for guests who want to immerse themselves in the natural wonders of southern Thailand – above and beneath the waves. This eco-sensitive sanctuary features a dedicated Marine Discovery Centre, an interactive environmental hub where marine biologists are engaged in a wide range of responsible activities such as coral propagation, shark conservation, clownfish breeding and more, with colourful displays and live exhibitions.
Wildlife and nature lovers can learn all about these programmes, including the SOS (“Save Our Sharks”) initiative which sees the resort work hand-in-hand with experts from the Phuket Marine Biological Center to care for bamboo sharks in southern Thailand – from incubating eggs and nurturing them at the Shark Nursery Pond, to releasing the juveniles back into their natural habitat. Active travellers can also head out and explore the enchanting marine environment with expert-led boat trips and mangrove kayaking expeditions.
Youngsters who want to be immersed even deeper in the marine world can visit the PADI-certified dive centre, which offers a “Bubblemaker” scuba diving course – an introductory session that lets little ones (eight or nine years old) learn how to breathe underwater, swim with fins and perform underwater tricks. SAii Phi Phi Island Village is an oasis of adventure; with water sports, tennis, swimming, yoga and many more energising pursuits, every guest can find a new skill or rediscover a lost love.
Rates start from THB 5,250++ per night and kids aged 0-4 years stay free-of-charge (in existing bedding including breakfast).
SAii Laguna Phuket, the free-spirited family resort on Phuket’s sunset coast, presents the perfect option for parents who want to keep their children entertained, inspired and educated during their vacation.

Mafeung & Mafai’s Junior Beach Club & Camp, the resort’s colourful kids’ club, offers a regular schedule of daily activities from 9am to 5pm, starting with invigorating exercises like kids’ Zumba, stretching, aerobics and Thai boxing, followed by arts & crafts classes such as canvas painting, t-shirt design, sand art and paper mosaics.
