Features

As a family-focused resort, Katathani has a stunning amount of kids' activities.

Beach
An unblemished white-sand strip
Free from the clutter of beach-club cabanas and lounge chairs, this beach offers pure white sand, rolling blue waves, and little else. That peaceful view can be seen from the resort's Thani Wing rooms, the spa's rooftop, beachfront pools, some restaurants, and several other areas.
Pools
Six sunny pools on the grounds and four attached kids' pools
Aside from the beach, the resort's main attraction is the six pools dotting the grounds. Blue-bottomed, free-form pools bordered by palm trees, lounge chairs, and beige patio umbrellas invite guests to loll the day away. The most popular pools run right up to the beachfront, letting guests float in calmer waters while gazing at ocean waves. The kids' pools give families a chance to splash around in shallower waters.
