Kata is a beach town on the Andaman Sea coast of Phuket, built around a wide bay of sand, with small restaurants, shops and bars along the roads behind the beach. Its evenings are calmer than those in Patong, and daytime here revolves around the beach. Karon Beach lies on the neighbouring bay, so the two beaches are easy to visit in one day.

Kata Beach is 1.7 km from the resort, and Big Buddha Phuket, a large white statue on a hilltop, is 1.1 km away. Wat Chalong, one of the most important temples on the island, is 4 km away, and Patong Beach is 8 km away. Phuket International Airport (HKT) is 32.6 km away, and getting further afield usually means a taxi or a hired car, since the island's roads link the beaches, the temples and the airport.

A good day here starts with a swim at Kata Beach, continues to the Big Buddha and Wat Chalong, and ends with dinner back on the coast. The hill around the statue gives wide views across the island. For a livelier evening, Bangla Road in Patong is the place to go, and it is reached by road from the resort.
