A TRUE OASIS IN THE HEART OF KATA BEACH, PHUKET





From December 26th to January 3rd, I stayed with my husband and sons at the Baray Villa Resort & Spa at the Sawasdee Village Hotel in Kata Beach.

Located just off the main road (Route 4233) to downtown Kata Beach, The Baray Villa & Spa is a true hidden gem that will no doubt soon be swarming with Jet Set types once word gets out about this great luxury boutique class hotel that just opened in November 2008.

At the center of the Baray Villa complex there is an exquisite long canal-like swimming pool. Each villa has access to the central pool from a private "lagoon" pool from which villa guests can swim out into the canal. At one end of the large pool sits the islamic themed swim-up "Oasis Bar." At the other end, a massive architectural waterfall wall back stops the canal pool .

The Baray Villas are incredibly spacious, tastefully decorated and genuinely comfortable. The hotel staff members are as gracious and helpful as one can hope for, offering a wonderful Thai hospitality experience.

The Baray Spa is also beautifully laid out and has an extensive menu of services with excellent massage therapists.

  1. Thanks for sharing. Looks fantastic. What are the beaches like and are there day trips you can take to other beaches?

  2. The Katah beach is very pleasant however it is an "organized beach" with chaises lounges and umbrellas. My teenage sons loved it! However I much prefer secluded beaches which in Phuket are harder to find.It is best to visit off season, rent a private boat and go explore the smaller island.
