Katamanda
Location: Kata Beach
Katamanda is a high-end luxury villa estate set in lush jungle overlooking Kata and Kata Noi Beach in southwest Phuket - Thailand's premiere resort destination.
Many of them are visual feasts. All are distinctly individual. Some have walls adorned with apsaras and beautiful Khmer wood carvings; some come with tasteful Asian layouts with original hangings, Cambodian silks, carved figures, bas-reliefs, tapestries and large flat TV screens. Others have a more Mediterranean feel, and one can only be described as laid back Balinese. They all contain everything you need and much more.
The estate is also extremely well-managed, totally secure and all villas are cleaned daily.
Katamanda is perfect for the more savvy, self sufficient traveller - those who have enough taste to pick a beautiful area, and enough vision not to stay in a resort or hotel. Nice as resorts and hotels can be, they do tend to come with certain rules and various restrictions.
Those who opt for Katamanda prefer to stay in a place with their own front door. A home away from home that isn't yours, but quickly feels like it is. This not only allows complete independence but also offers an experience that is liberating, and economically, makes a lot of sense.
For those who enjoy a quieter pace than the Patong Beach area, Kata boasts a selection of excellent restaurants and funky shops all just a gentle stroll away.
