Where to Stay in Kata Noi Beach?
Kata Noi Beach is the lesser-known sister of Kata Beach, which is a stunningly beautiful beach with incredibly soft white sand. There are actually only two hotels really on the beach, Katathain Beach Resort and The Shore at Katathani, but there are quite a few at a short distance.
Who is Kata Beach For?
- Kata Beach is good for those who want everything nearby but find Patong too busy and overwhelming.
- It is ideal if you want to stay at a remote beach because you have no transportation.
- Everything is more or less within walking distance (unless you booked your hotel on the back road!).
What’s Good?
- Superb beach with beach chairs with umbrellas, drinks, food and massage available
- Good for first-timers
- Amazing sunsets
- Kata has a lot of restaurants, shops and hotels
- Easy to go around without a car or motorbike
- Lots of hotels in the cheap to mid-price range
What’s Not?
- It can get hectic during the high season.
- Narrow streets and permanent traffic make it pedestrian-unfriendly
- Lack of parking
- Only two hotels with beach views
Katathani Beach Resort
Katathani Phuket Beach Resort is a fantastic choice for a relaxing getaway on Kata Noi Beach, one of Phuket’s most serene and beautiful spots. Stretching along 450 meters of soft, golden sand, the resort offers breathtaking sea views from many of its well-appointed rooms.
Despite its large size, Katathani manages to maintain a peaceful and laid-back atmosphere, making it ideal for families and couples alike. The resort features multiple pools, a variety of dining options, and easy access to the beach.
