With Phuket currently going through its quiet season against a backdrop of an increasing supply of new hotels, the choice of accommodation on Thailand’s premier island destination has never been bigger or better. The trick, of course, is to choose your hotel wisely.
For families and independent travelers, OZO Phuket, a newly opened mid-scale property, makes the grade on many levels.
In terms of its location at Kata Beach, OZO guests couldn’t wish for more. Apart from being generally recognized as the island’s most beautiful bay, Kata is also well positioned for exploring Phuket’s other attractions, including nearby Karon and Patong beaches, as well as numerous offshore islands, golf courses and the amazing Hanuman World zipline park.
OZO’s simple but thoughtful interior and exterior design, and its unmistakable laid-back holiday atmosphere also tick the boxes. Accommodation includes 255 guest rooms and suites across nine different categories in a series of five-storey buildings.

Although not set directly on the beach, the hotel is just a short stroll away from the northern end of Kata’s golden sand and surf via a keycard accessed side gate.
The hotel entrance is actually located right on Kata Road, which means guests are close to some great local restaurants, shops and entertainment zones.
That said, many guests no doubt prefer to spend most of their time within the hotel itself. Its extensive landscaped gardens include two separate pools – one designed for kids with its twin water slides and volleyball net, the other a freeform main pool for adults to lounge around and relax in. This area is unquestionably one of OZO’s most attractive features.
