The 11 Best Luxury Hotels in Kathu

Pool villas only: Two resorts in the district do without rooms lacking their own pool. The Rosewood Phuket gives each of its pavilions, villas and houses an infinity or plunge pool, and at the Keemala Phuket each villa on the rainforest slope has a pool with 21 to 30 m² of water.Rosewood Phuket · Tri Trang BeachBig pool landscapes: The infinity pool at the Hyatt Regency Phuket Resort, with private cabanas, gives you the view straight across the sea. At Le Méridien Phuket Beach Resort, some 4,700 m² of pool water are spread across the resort, and the InterContinental Phuket Resort counts five pools, including one with warm and cold zones.

For lap swimmers and adults: On Surin Beach, the Twinpalms Phuket has a 50-metre pool that never closes. The Avista Hideaway Patong keeps its onyx-black Hillside Pool for adults, and the Andara Resort Phuket has a 40-metre infinity pool on the clifftop. Right on Kamala Beach, the infinity pool of the Twinpalms Montazure Phuket sits at beach level.

Award-winning holistic care: Rosewood's Asaya wellness concept debuted at the Rosewood Phuket, with tailored programmes, Chi Nei Tsang and aqua sound therapy. On Kamala Beach, the InterContinental Phuket Resort's Sati Spa focuses on Asian healing arts, from Ayurvedic massage to tai chi, and won an award for it in 2025.Keemala Phuket · Mu Ban Jasmine KamalaFor couples and active guests: In 2025 the Keemala Phuket received Condé Nast Johansens' Award of Excellence as “Best Hotel Spa”; its signature rituals tell the story of four invented clans. At the Avista Hideaway Patong, rooftop yoga and Muay Thai training cost nothing extra, and the Jivana Spa was honoured at the World Luxury Spa Awards 2024.

At no extra cost: you pay the same rate as booking direct with the hotel – the suitespot benefits come on top, free of charge.

Spa with a view: The Nahm Spa, home to eight private spa suites, sits atop the Hyatt Regency Phuket Resort, and the spa at The Surin Phuket consists of individual cottages among granite boulders. At the Dinso Resort & Villas Phuket, the Jamuna Spa uses Tok-Sen, a technique with a small wooden hammer.

From 111 € at the Hyatt Regency Phuket Resort to 930 € at the Rosewood Phuket, that's the range in the district; today's rate for the Avista Hideaway Patong is available from our travel advisors. The table sorts all eleven hotels by bay; for availability and live rates, see the hotel list below.

Included at all eleven: breakfast for two every day, an upgrade when available, and early check-in and late check-out when occupancy allows. You need two nights at the Hyatt Regency Phuket Resort, the Twinpalms Phuket and the Twinpalms Montazure Phuket; everywhere else, it all applies from the first night.

Credit: 125 US dollars at the Rosewood Phuket, 100 US dollars at the InterContinental Phuket Resort and the Andara Resort Phuket, among others, and 50 US dollars at both Twinpalms properties. Stay five nights or more and the Rosewood adds the airport transfer.Hyatt Regency Phuket Resort · Kamala BeachInstead of credit: The Keemala Phuket treats you to lunch for two plus 10 percent on spa treatments, while The Surin Phuket includes a Thai massage for two per stay.

Loyalty points are available at six of the luxury hotels in Kathu: IHG One Rewards covers the InterContinental Phuket Resort and the Dinso Resort & Villas Phuket, World of Hyatt at the Hyatt Regency Phuket Resort, Marriott Bonvoy at Le Méridien Phuket Beach Resort, plus ALL (Accor) at Avista and I Prefer at Andara. The other five are independent.

When to go: From November to April the west coast is at its best, when the sea is calm and evenings end in Andaman sunsets; over Christmas, the villas go fast. Between May and October the district turns green and relaxed – lovely for the waterfall, the spa and long days by the villa pool.

How long to stay: For a 5-star hotel in Kathu we recommend seven nights, perhaps divided between two bays – a few nights above Patong, a few in Kamala.
