Facilities

In addition to the stunning and sprawling grounds, brimming with native flora and fauna and the Lagoon Pool of everyone's dreams, there is also a terrace swimming pool that's perfect for relaxing and playing, refreshments in hand, plus an outdoor kids activity zone, bursting with things to do. 

Pools and marsupials aside, though, let's delve into what we think parents really want to know—ultimately, is there a kids' club?

InterContinental Planet Trekkers Kids Club caters to young adventurers aged 4-12. The vibrant indoor playroom is bursting with fun activities, while the curated selection of destination-inspired experiences throughout the resort sparks curiosity and ignites the imagination.

It's the perfect place for little ones to explore, learn, and create unforgettable memories during their stay, and it allows the parents to delve into all the resort has to offer. We're talking the Sanctuary Cove Country Club for an oasis of health, fitness and well-being essentials, plus access to world-class golf courses and more.
