Kata Holiday Villas & Apartments

Kata, on the west coast of Phuket, blends into Karon to its north and is, after Patong and Karon, the islands most popular beach for tourists. Kata has two beautiful beaches separated by a headland; the main beach has lovely white sand stretching for almost two kilometres while its baby sister a little further south, Kata Noi, is a lot smaller and quieter.

The main beach at Kata is split into two distinctive areas; Kata Centre at the north end that has a wealth of traditional Thai massage shops, small boutiques and restaurants, whilst the southern end of Kata is home to large beach resorts, the most dominant one being the Kata Beach Resort. In between the two spreads the large Club Med Resort set back from the beach and mainly hidden from view by the palm trees lining the beach.

There is a huge variety of restaurants spread throughout Kata all within easy reach, from small road side local Thai food stalls to one of Phuket’s most famed restaurants – Mom Tri’s. Nestled on the hillside near Kata Noi, Mom Tri’s Kitchen, not only provides an award winning gourmet menu, an impressive wine cellar with over 750 labels, but luxurious comfort and stunning views over Kata Noi.

The nightlife in Kata is much more subdued than Patong, a few kilometres north, but has plenty of lively and friendly bars sprinkled around the area. Although there are no large shopping malls in Kata there are plenty of shops selling tourist trinkets and convenience stores open 24 hours a day.

One of Kata’s best attractions is the recently renamed Karon Viewpoint that has spectacular views over the three beaches of Kata Noi, Kata and Karon – don’t forget your camera!
