Kata Palm Resort and Spa offers 180-room property in a quiet corner of Kata. The grounds resemble a Thai royal palace with soaring pavilions, teak furniture, ornate gold carvings, and billowing gauze curtains. Kata Beach is a five-minute stroll or free shuttle away. Most guests gravitate toward the lushly landscaped pools. The main pool feels like a jungle stream as it meanders past towering palms and faux ancient ruins. The spa and kids club add to this property's tremendous appeal.
