The Boathouse Phuket-Sha Plus - Kata Beach (Phuket)

4-star beachfront hotel on Kata Beach with private pool and acclaimed seafront restaurant

Dining

The Boathouse Phuket-Sha Plus operates an award-winning seafront restaurant serving Thai and international dishes. Executive Chef Jonathan, with over 40 years of international experience, leads a culinary team that prepares a Chef's Weekend Menu with weekly changing dishes. Guests can book the Demonstration Cooking Class run by sous chef Jimmy in a room with full kitchen and panoramic beach views, or try the wine challenge: 1300 baht for unlimited tasting of five selected wines within one hour.

Rooms

The hotel offers 39 rooms and suites, including Ocean Suites with balconies offering unobstructed views of Kata Beach and the Andaman Sea. Junior Suites feature a large bathroom with a deep soaking tub, double vanity, and a separate lounge area with a desk. Each room has air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, a coffee machine, bathrobes, slippers, and daily complimentary bottled water replenished in the room and at the pool.

Location & Beach

The Boathouse Phuket sits at the southern end of Kata Beach, offering direct beach access from the infinity pool area - guests step through a door onto the sand within seconds. The beach itself is wide and clean, with shallow water suitable for swimming, and guests can rent sunbeds from local vendors directly in front of the hotel. Walking distance from the hotel are numerous restaurants, shops, and massage places, while Phuket International Airport is 45 km away (approx. 2 hours by car due to traffic).

Facilities

The hotel has a small infinity pool with sun loungers facing the ocean, plus a separate spa pool for relaxation. A fitness centre is available on-site for guest use, and free private parking is provided. The pool area includes a bar and restaurant service, with iced water and fruit kebabs brought to guests without being asked.

Services & Experiences

The Boathouse Phuket arranges tours, taxi transfers, and local recommendations through its concierge desk. Staff have been noted for going beyond expectations - one guest received a chicken porridge soup (not on the menu) when ill, and another was offered an iPad to watch a live football match. The hotel also provides an à la carte breakfast with both Thai and Western dishes, cooked to order rather than a buffet.
