Kata Beach is a popular year round vacation spot for families. It is a long curved beach with plentiful sun loungers and beach vendors to cater for the crowds. By day, relaxation , massages and watersport are the main drawcards on the white sands of Kata Beach . Snorkellers can also venture further out to Ko Pu - a small island offshore with several reefs on the way.
At Kata Beach , several hotels and resorts line the roads back from the beachfront with all tastes and budgets catered for. There are very few absolute beachfront resorts , the best by a distance is Mom Tri’s Boathouse Wine and Grill Bar (The author's favourite restaurant in the whole world). Villa Royale on the headland at the Southern end of Kata Beach offers beautiful tropical garden settings, beachside dining, great swimming pools and wonderful sunsets. The large low key expanse of Club Mediterranee set in gardens and palm trees along the north end of Kata Beach has prevented over-development of this beautiful beach. Modest guesthouses can also be discovered just a few minutes walk from the beach.
At night, most visitors seem content with dining, shopping and visiting a few nightspots. Kata village is an international affair with restaurants offering cuisines from around the globe – including Italian, Scandinavian and Steakhouses - as well as many Thai seafood cafes with traditional local feasts. Nightlife is low-key, ranging from small bars to the famed Easy Rider Club with live bands in the busy tourist season from November to March.
