Chanalai Hillside Resort

Perched atop a small hill overlooking the Andaman Sea, just off the main road and a hop, skip and a jump from Kata Beach, this attractive, Thai-style hotel offers a wonderful family retreat to Phuket. This is the perfect spot for diving, snorkelling, and enjoying the sandy beach, and the surrounding area offers a variety of shops and restaurants in addition to a traditional Thai market. The hotel's spacious guest rooms are decorated with modern furnishings and traditional Thai accents, each with a private balcony overlooking the tropical gardens or the sea, as well as air-conditioning, satellite television, tea and coffee facilities, and Wi-Fi internet access. Guests can spend lazy afternoons lounging by the secluded, quiet pool with a swim-up bar, or splashing around with the kids in the free-form pool.
