Kata Rocks hotel: Bringing a minimalist vibe to Thailand

Sleek and chic, offering a minimalist vibe, Kata Rocks is a magnificent hotel that offers extraordinary and spellbinding views of the Andaman Sea in Thailand.

Set on a spectacular panoramic location, Kata Rocks offers a superb spa, design-led apartment sized rooms including spa suites, all with private infinity pools.

Boasting 34 one, two, three and four-bedroom ‘sky villas‘ stacked across the hillside – these are big, bright and beautiful, and come with fully-fitted kitchens, living and dining areas. There are also floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors opening onto private infinity pools, each of which is a minimum of seven-metres long. The furnishings are sleek and Italian-made, here it’s all white-on white: there are white linens, and white umbrellas shading white sunbeds beside a white-tiled pool.

There is also an oceanfront restaurant, 35-metre swimming pool with poolside bar, a sublime spa housing everything from energy pods to light-emitting treatment beds, which combine beautifully with Ila products and traditional Thai wellness philosophies.

Guests at the luxury Phuket hotel can walk directly onto the Kata Beach or the rocky headland – “the rocks” from which the resort takes its name, and where cocktail events and private parties can also be held. During the high season, the resort has its own jetty to allow access to visitors arriving on their private yachts.
