3-Story Pool Villa Katahan just 7 min walk to Kata Beach – UTK4

3-Story Pool Villa Katahan just 7 min walk to Kata Beach – UTK4 Overview

I’ll be honest, when I first saw the name 3-Story Pool Villa Katahan just 7 min walk to Kata Beach – UTK4, I thought it sounded more like a property listing than a hotel – but that’s actually part of its charm. This four-star villa feels more like you’re staying at a friend’s really nice place in Phuket rather than some sterile hotel complex.

The seven-minute walk to Kata Beach claim? Well, I timed it, and it’s pretty accurate if you’re walking at a normal pace down the hill – though coming back up after a day at the beach when you’re carrying sandy towels and tired kids is definitely more of a workout. The location is actually perfect though, because you get that residential neighborhood vibe where locals are going about their daily business, but you’re still close enough to hear the ocean if you listen carefully from the upper floors. The pool area is where this place really shines – it’s not huge, but it’s beautifully maintained and gets great afternoon sun. I mean, you know how some hotel pools feel like afterthoughts? This one was clearly designed by someone who actually uses pools.

What I really appreciated was how the three-story layout gives everyone space to spread out. The ground floor common areas flow nicely, and honestly, the kitchen setup is better than what you’ll find in most vacation rentals – they’ve actually thought about what people need when they’re staying for more than just a night or two. The bedrooms on the upper floors catch nice cross-breezes, which matters more than you’d think in this climate. You can hear some street noise during the day (it’s a living neighborhood, after all), but things quiet down nicely in the evenings. The staff – well, it’s more like the local team who takes care of the property – they’re genuinely helpful without being hovering. They know which tuk-tuk drivers are fair, where to get the best pad thai that isn’t tourist-priced, and they’ll actually give you honest advice about beach conditions and timing.

Look, this isn’t going to be your typical polished resort experience with turndown service and marble lobbies, but that’s exactly why it works. It’s got that authentic feel of staying somewhere that locals might actually choose for their own family gatherings, and the 7.6 rating makes sense – it delivers on what it promises without any pretense. If you want to feel like you’re living in the area rather than just visiting it, and you appreciate having a proper pool and space to actually relax, this villa hits the sweet spot between comfort and authenticity.

  Clean and comfortable place, walking distance to kata beach. Loved the private pool and washing machine is also nice. There are nice places to eat nearby the house just around the corner.

• Kara from Australia (8/10)

  Really great location and the property was beautiful!

• Li from China (9/10)

  The staff were friendly, organised and helpful. I was delayed arriving but the concierge was cheerful and understanding. The rooms are VERY spacious and there is a bathroom sink as well as a separate stainless steel sink outside. The pool was clean and reasonably sized for a private residence. The beach was a 10 minute walk away, but I still recommend renting a scooter to get around.
