designed by original vision and located in phuket, ‘kata rocks‘ is all about contemporary tropical living. conceived as an ultra-exclusive apartment resort, the emphasis is on clean and uncomplicated spaces that pay homage to the view. 34 oversized apartments, duplexes and penthouses, all terraced to take advantage of the natural slope, are fully serviced by all the facilities you would find in a five star resort.

sloping up from massive slabs of granite at the shoreline, each of the ten blocks are carefully positioned in three dimensions to ensure all sky villas have a clear, unobstructed view over the andaman sea. this has been aided by extensive computer modeling which has been used to prove and fine-tune the design.

on the water front, four ‘honeymoon suite’ ocean lofts along with the dynamic ‘kata rocks club’ with its 35m swimming pool, open onto the very rocks that give this resort its name. on the top two floors of each block, ocean penthouses offer the height of luxury and space and can be called ‘villas in the sky’.
