All About Kata Noi Beach in Phuket

Why Kata Noi Is Special

Kata Noi Beach is 800 meters of white sand framed by palm trees and granite rocks. It feels like a secluded paradise.

3 reasons to choose Kata Noi:

✔ Calm waters 300 days a year (thanks to a natural bay)

✔ Some of the best sunsets on the west coast

✔ Fewer tourists than in neighboring bays

Things to Do

Pros and Cons

👍 3 reasons to go:

Where to Stay

Tips for the Perfect Holiday
