Kata Station Boutique Hotel, Kata Beach sits in the Kata area of Phuket, a short walk from the sand of Kata Beach. Kata is one of the lively beach areas of the island, with restaurants, bars and shops along the streets behind the sand, so evenings are easy to fill. A pharmacy, convenience stores and ATMs are close to the hotel too, so everyday errands are simple to do on foot.

The Phuket Big Buddha, a large seated statue on a hilltop, is 1.7 km away. Chaithararam Temple, also called Wat Chalong, is 5 km away and is one of the most revered Buddhist temples on the island. Karon Beach is the next beach along, and the Kata Walking Street Night Market is close by, with food stalls and evening shopping.

A good day could start on the beach at Kata, continue with a visit to the Big Buddha, then go on to Wat Chalong, and end at the night market. Kata Noi Beach, the neighbouring beach, is also a good place for a swim, with the sea a short walk from the hotel area. The sights are spread across the island, so a taxi or hired car makes the day easier. Phuket International Airport, the closest airport, is 32.1 km away.
