Hotel Location
Centara Kata Resort is located on Kata Beach, part of a wider array of local beaches including Patong and Karon. Kata, however, is especially suited to families, with its shallow waters and huge amount of space spanning two kilometres. Like at Patong and Karon, however, there remain plentiful shopping and dining opportunities, while you can dip into the sea to try out some snorkelling or diving.
Other intriguing local attractions throughout Phuket include its best-known, the Two Heroines Monument - where the figures of sisters Thao Thep Krasattri and Thao Si Sunthon, who in 1785 courageously called on islanders to repel Burmese invaders, are immortalised. Meanwhile, the kids will love seeing animals like crocodiles, tigers, ostriches, and emus at Phuket Zoo. The aquarium there is similarly worth a look.
