Right on Kata Beach
The resort sits on the beachfront at Kata Beach, one of Phuket's more manageable stretches of coast. Guests step from the property straight onto the sand — no road to cross, no shuttle required.
Outdoor pool and fitness center
The outdoor swimming pool is the main gathering point on-site. A fitness center is also available for guests who want to keep up a routine. Both are included in the stay.
Rooms with real sea views
Several room categories — including the Deluxe Sea View, Queen Room with Terrace, Suite with Ocean View, Hideaway Suite, and Beachfront Suite — have genuine sea-facing outlooks, not just a sliver of water between buildings.
The Penthouse: 146 m² for two
The Penthouse Suite is the largest option at 146 m², with two separate bedrooms — one queen, one twin — sea views, a coffee machine, and a flat-screen TV. It's the only room type that sleeps more than two guests.
Restaurant and bar on-site
An on-site restaurant and bar mean guests can eat and drink without leaving the property. Room service is also available, so meals can come to the room.
