The white sands of Kata Noi Beach – one of Phuket’s finest – are just 800m away, while the larger Kata Beach lies just a little further to the north. Both Kata Noi and Kata Beaches are famous for lovely sunsets and excellent surfing conditions during the south-west monsoon months of May through October. Making the most of those spectacular vistas, some of the island’s best restaurants have sprung up on the beachfront and headland around Kata Noi. Meanwhile, the resort town of Kata offers several more dining, shopping and entertainment choices.
As Thailand’s largest and most developed island, Phuket boasts more than 30 fine-sand beaches and a wealth of activities to keep travellers enchanted and entertained. Flip through the villa’s guidebook and ask your villa manager for local travel tips and recommendations.
