Where to Stay in Kata Beach

Editor's Guide to Hotel Locations in Kata

Kata has some excellent hotel choices, just ask the large and rising proportion of returning guests, which is a testament to the standard of the hotels.

Hotels on the Beach

The south end of Kata beach is one of the few places in Phuket where hotels have direct beach access (no road between the hotel and the beach).

The whole of the middle part of the beach is taken by Club Med's low key landscaped grounds.

The north end is quite deserted apart from a couple of resorts located up the hill, set back from the beach.
