Avista Phuket Resort and Spa is offering guaranteed sea views for couples or families in Kata, Thailand. Just a comfortable stroll from the shoreline of Kata Beach, Avista is 4-star property in the hills of Kata, overlooking the Andaman Sea.
On the south-west coast of Phuket is the town of Kata, hugged by an immaculate crescent beach of white sand and tropical palm trees. As a travel destination it is considered supreme for both families and couples, offering the beauty and climate of a tropical paradise like Patong without the racket and disorder of a high-traffic tourist area.
The northern end of Kata, which is closest to Patong and Karon Beach, is where most of the action in Kata happens. There is a huge range of shopping options, fine restaurants and nightlife spots—Kata embraces a full spectrum in all these areas, with everything from designer labels and 5-star menus to local markets and street vendors. There are also a number of different live shows in the area, including cabaret, Thai boxing, stunt shows and night-time theme parks.
While the Patong and Karon beaches to the north are close (15 minutes or so by tuk-tuk), and both worth a visit, Kata Beach is a 1.5KM stretch of divinity. It’s one of the most popular beaches in Phuket and offers year-round temptations. Watersports like snorkelling, surfing, kayaking, parasailing and windsurfing are regularly practiced on Kata Beach, but it is a haven for any who love the sun and the sand.
Off the beach there are various options. Nearby Kata Temple (Wat Kittisangkaram), golf courses, elephant treks, bungee jumping, and go-karting are just a few examples. The surrounding hills offer great opportunities for exploration and romantic trysts. The hillsides of Kata also overlook the Andaman Sea, with a horizon that extends as far as the eye will let it.
Avista Phuket Resort and Spa resides amongst these hills, enjoying uninterrupted sea vistas. This stylish 4-star resort has an outdoor pool, a gym and a day spa. It features a full recreation room with pool, table tennis, table football and darts, as well as a restaurant and pool bar. For family visits, Avista has put together a kids’ club so that visiting children can play together.
The resort has over 140 guest rooms, but only 22 of them are Avista Club Rooms that offer stunning Thai sea views. These rooms are lavishly decorated and come with all standard amenities—mini bar, refrigerator, coffee-making facilities, Wi-Fi, LCD television, DVD player, desk, and bathrobes. The Club Rooms span 42.9 square metres, house a King-size bed and have a separate bathroom.
