KATACOVE LUXURY VILLA
Accommodation for three couples or six pax twin share
The villa itself consists of 4 separate buildings with a built up area of 3400 sq. ft. on 9000 sq.ft. of land. There are 3 villas and attached bathrooms. The exteriors of the buildings are light beige sandstone. The villa has been designed to be as much as possible in harmony with nature, which means lots of balconies, large windows, high ceilings, trees, shrubs and of course magnificent views of the sea. All the doors and windows slide back into the walls giving a very open, spacious feeling. The bathrooms, kitchen, etc are very modern. A lot of attention has been paid to the bathrooms and each of the bathrooms adjoining the bedrooms has outside showers in a very natural setting. Katacove villa is designed by a Japanese interior designer so the influences are a combination of Japanese, Balinese, and Thai. There are many artifacts, statues, carvings, doors etc, from Bali in the villas and the garden. The general level of finish is equivalent to an Aman resort. We will walk you through the villa. You park your car in the parking area on top of the hill and walk down a gradually descending private path to the front gate, which is an old and large Javanese door. After entering you walk down about 8-10 graduated steps to a white sandstone walkway, which is flanked, on both sides by lotus ponds. Behind the lotus pond on your left is the service building which includes the kitchen, store room and servant's room. Behind the pond on your right is a Villa 3 with an attached bathroom. The bathroom is next to a huge rock, which forms one of the sides of the outdoor shower. Villa 3 has its own private patio and garden with views of the sea and much foliage. Access to Villa 3 is across stepping stones in the lotus pond.
Returning to the entrance walkway you keep walking a few more meters to a large rock, which you proceed around and down (about 3 meters) to the two front buildings, both of which are almost on the cliff overlooking the sea. Villa 2 (front left building) has a bedroom on the ground floor just next to the swimming pool. In front of this room is a patio and a small garden. The ground floor rooms in the front buildings have a unique feel to them in that you feel very connected to the sea. The 1st floor of Villa 2 is the main living/dining area and has a large balcony with a spectacular sea view. It has an extra high ceiling and is very spacious.Villa 1 (front right building) has a large study on the ground floor which opens on to a covered patio and the swimming pool. The bedroom is on the 1st floor and has its own balcony and large bathroom including bath tub and outside shower (with a great view).Villa ones bedroom has a high quality teak wood floor; the other Vilas have white terrazzo floors; and the living room/dining room polished beige sandstone. Entrances to the living room and Villas 1 & 2 bedrooms are through Balinese doors. All the rooms are individually air-conditioned and come equipped with window/door screens and fans if you don't want air conditioning at night. There is the latest stereo equipment; state of the art computer set up, and top of the line cable TV system. Also there is an excellent live in cook and two cleaning maids.
In front of and to the right of Villa 1 and adjacent to the swimming pool, is a Balinese Sala (pavilion) with panoramic views of the Andaman sea, the rocky shoreline in front of our villa, and our villa's swimming pool and front garden. The sala, which is constructed on the rocks, can seat 6 people comfortably and is used for yoga sessions, lunches, sundowner cocktails, and general relaxing.
Another unique item is a large flat rock in front of our villa from which swimming in the sea will be possible during the calm season (Dec-May).
The developer, next to The Boathouse on Kata Beach proper, has constructed a club for villa guests which includes a new seafood bar/restaurant called Gung, changing rooms, and beach chairs/umbrellas so there is direct access to Kata Beach . Surfing lessons are on Kata Beach also. There is easy access to good restaurants (with good wine cellars) at The Boathouse, Gung, and others on Kata Beach , all of which are within easy walking distance from the villa. Patong Beach , the center of night life in Phuket, is 20 minutes away by car.
