Just beyond the hotel sits a wide beach with remarkably white, soft sand; the area tends to be busy during high season and hosts numerous surf schools and board rentals in the low season.
About Kata Beach
Kata Beach is a 1.5-kilometre stretch of soft sand and clear blue water on Phuket’s west coast, making it one of the island’s most beautiful beaches. The beach offers activities for everyone: surfing and paddleboarding in the water, Thai massage under palm trees, and mini-golf at Dino Park nearby. The beach tends to be quieter than nearby Patong, creating a relaxed atmosphere perfect for families.
Local restaurants, street food stalls, and bars line the shore and surrounding streets, offering dining options from casual to upmarket. Sunset views are iconic, with an island silhouette creating perfect photo opportunities. Kata gets busy from December to May (high season), but offers excellent weather all year round. Water conditions vary seasonally: calm and swim-friendly during high season, but choppy with waves ideal for surfers in the low season.
What’s Great For Kids
The kids club is free and supervised, taking children 6 and under. Babysitting is available for a fee. Two to three outdoor pools plus a children’s pool. The main pool has a swim-up bar for parents. Pool access rooms let you walk straight from your terrace into the water.
Family rooms, sea view options, and interconnecting rooms available. Beachside Ska Bar restaurant serves food with your feet practically in the sand.
Good for: Families wanting direct beachfront and a calm, unhurried atmosphere.
