Kata Beach

Kata Yai Beach

Kata Yai is the bigger of the two beaches, and is virtually all taken up by the Club Med. Most of the other accommodation is either on the road behind Club Med, or at the northern end of the beach clustered along Taina Rd along with a range of bars, restaurants, travel agents, supermarkets and the like.

Kata Noi Beach

The smaller of the two Kata beaches (Noi is Thai for small), Kata Noi beach is a great option to escape the crowds than can sometimes congest Kata Yai. There's not as broad a choice of guesthouses and hotels, but even if you choose not to stay here, Kata Noi isn't a long walk from Kata centre.

Kata Centre

A few places sit on the hill of the headland that separates Kata and Karon beaches and along Taina Rd that runs back away from the beach. Some seem to be suffering from a bit of an identity crisis as to which beach they are actually on, but they are equally convenient to both, which is sort of a plus.
