Opening on Kata Beach, Phuket, this month, The SIS Kata offers a swanky stay at a refreshingly low price point. The name means “Stay In Style” and the resort’s 124 guest rooms and two suites come in a nautical white and blue color scheme with contemporary chevron patterns throughout.
For bookings before Jul 31, room starts at just B2,199/night ($90/night), inclusive of breakfast for two, applicable for stays through Oct 31.
The highlight of the property is the spectacular inifinity free-form swimming pool, with its 3,000 underwater lights.
You’ll also find six restaurants and bars on-site that serve up local dishes with international twists and take advantage of the Kata sunset over the Andaman Sea. For craft cocktails and beers, there’s the trendy Z Bar Plus, while Stella bar helps you detox with healthy salads and juices.
Several airlines fly between Singapore and Phuket. Tickets start from $133 on AirAsia, and $200 on Tigerair.
Alternatively, you can check out the Thailand outpost of Ibiza’s legendary Cafe Del Mar at Phuket’s Kamala Beach (about 40-min drive from Kata Beach) or take a boat out to the exclusive resort hub of Naka Island from Ao Por Pier to camp out in style.
