BLU PINE Villa & Pool Access

The rooms at BLU PINE Villa & Pool Access are villas, cottages, suites and other rooms, several of them with a pool or garden view. The Superior Cottage measures 35 m² and sleeps up to two guests, the Deluxe Room with Pool Access measures 44 m² and the Deluxe Pool Access measures 50 m².

The Tropical Villa Suite and the Deluxe Villa both measure 64 m², and the Deluxe Villa is one of the villas at this resort. Several rooms offer a choice of bed set-ups, such as a double bed or two single beds. The Double Single Use room sleeps up to three guests, while the Double Or Twin Deluxe Villas accommodates up to five guests, so a group can stay together in one room.

The resort has an outdoor and an indoor swimming pool, a children's swimming pool, a spa with sauna and massage, and a fitness centre. Parking is free on site, and there is an airport transfer, a shuttle service and car hire for getting around Phuket.

Restaurants, a poolside bar, room service and a buffet breakfast cover food and drink, and the front desk is open 24 hours. Guests can also use concierge, currency exchange, luggage storage, laundry and dry cleaning services, a business centre, and the property is wheelchair accessible. Tours can be arranged, and rooms can have a balcony or terrace, while the grounds include a garden alongside the pools.

BLU PINE Villa & Pool Access is in Kata, a beach area on Phuket island. The area has a busy sandy beach, street-food stalls and small shops along the roads behind it, and a quieter atmosphere further from the sand. Kata is calmer than Patong, and the beach road links it with Karon, the neighbouring beach to the south along the same west coast of the island.

Kata Beach is a short walk from the resort. Big Buddha Phuket, the large Buddha statue on a hilltop, is 1.6 km away, and Chaithararam Temple (Wat Chalong), one of the most important temples on the island, is 4.9 km away. Phuket International Airport is 32.8 km away, and Bangla Road, Patong's busy nightlife street, is 8.6 km away. The resort offers a shuttle service and car hire, and a minibus station is 400 m away.

A day could mix a swim at Kata Beach, a visit to Big Buddha Phuket and an evening at the Karon Night Market, with Karon Beach on the same coast. The resort's own pools and spa make a good place to finish the day, and those who want more nightlife can head north to Bangla Road in Patong.
