A lost-world themed beachfront resort on Wong Amat built around a huge water-park-style pool — the default pick for families who want the kids entertained all day.

🏖️ Tourists Updated June 2026

Best for

  • Families with kids
  • Travelers who want a resort they needn't leave

If you’re travelling with kids, Centara Grand Mirage is built for you. This themed beachfront resort on Wong Amat is organised around an enormous lagoon-and-water-park pool that can swallow a whole holiday.

The vibe

Think family resort you never need to leave: water slides and a lazy river, a kids’ club, multiple restaurants and a private beach. It’s large and lively, and in school holidays it’s busy — but that energy is part of the appeal for families.

Who it suits

Squarely aimed at families. Couples after calm will prefer somewhere like Cape Dara nearby; city-lovers will want Hilton Pattaya in the centre.

Pros

  • Enormous lagoon pool and water features
  • Direct Wong Amat beachfront
  • Loads of on-site dining and kids' facilities

Cons

  • Big and busy, especially in school holidays
  • Away from the city centre
  • Premium family pricing
