A Phuket Villa with a Real Kids Pool Area
A large family pool with a dedicated shallow zone for young children — designed in, not improvised.
Villa Princess Maria has a large 20×6m pool with a dedicated shallow kids area as a built-in feature. Parents and grandparents can sit at the pool edge or in the sala while younger children swim safely; older children and adults use the deeper end. The kids pool area is part of the original design, not an afterthought, and is one of the reasons families choose Villa Princess Maria over the more architectural sister property Villa Princess Stephanie.
Why Families Pick Villa Princess Maria
Built-In Shallow Kids Zone
A graduated shallow zone at one end of the main pool — designed in from the start. Young children swim safely while older guests use the full pool.
Pool Sala for Supervision
A covered sala beside the pool gives parents and grandparents a comfortable shaded position to watch the children without sitting in direct sun.
Pool Toys and Equipment
Inflatable rings, kickboards, and child-size goggles available on arrival. Towels everywhere. Parents arrive empty-handed.
Optional Pool Safety Fence
A removable pool safety fence is available on request for stays with toddlers — added before arrival, removed before departure.
The Family-Pool Problem in Most Phuket Villas
Most luxury villa pools in Phuket are designed for adults and infinity-edge photographs. Families discover on arrival that the depth starts at 1.4m, there is no shallow end, and watching small children in the water requires standing in it. Villa Princess Maria was designed differently: family stays are the brief, and the pool reflects that.
How the Pool Works for Mixed-Age Groups
In practice the layout means three groups can use the pool simultaneously: young children in the shallow zone with a parent at arm's reach, older children and teens swimming in the main body, and adults in the deeper end or on the loungers. Mealtime works similarly — chef sets out children's lunch on the pool sala while adults take a longer table on the dining terrace.
