Phuket is about to become more than just your favourite beach destination. Come Q1 2019, the island is going to get its very own US$40 million family waterpark and entertainment complex. 

Blue Tree Phuket, as it is called, is located within easy reach of Phuket’s popular central west coast and meets the growing demand for inland tourism on the island. The integrated complex will feature a mix of retail, destination dining, waterpark, beach club and health and fitness facilities.

“We are delighted to be announcing what we feel will be a key component in Phuket’s tourism future as we are confident Blue Tree will appeal to families looking for high quality entertainment,” said Michael Ayling, former managing director of Laguna Phuket and general manager of Blue Tree Phuket. “Phuket’s tourism market has changed considerably over the past 10 years. We now see strong demand for inland attractions driven by Thai families, residents of the island and the growth of the independent-travelling international tourism market. All three markets have one thing in common: a need for high-quality, family-focused entertainment away from the beach. This is what we will deliver.”

In addition to the entertainment offerings, Blue Tree Phuket will also feature 17 restaurants and food outlets to cater to all tastes and budgets.
