Kata Rock Clubhouse in Kata Beach Phuket

Kata Rocks Clubhouse

    Kata Rocks has only one restaurant serving Mediterranean and seafood cuisine, but with rooms so well designed for in-house dining, you won’t need more. Tables are along with the iconic infinity pool, so make sure you come a bit before sunset to enjoy some of Kata Rocks’ famous cocktails (they even have their signature gin). As the sun disappears, the pool lights turn on, and the atmosphere becomes even more romantic, the perfect setting to enjoy the superb cuisine.

Locals tend to go to Laem Hin or Mor Mu Dong. Service is known to be a little slow, but it’s still an excellent place to stop for seafood if you are around this area.
