World’s first super yacht hotel – Kata Rocks

The Sky Villas at Phuket’s newest and most spectacular luxury resort take aspirational escape to an entirely new level. The ‘hundred-million-dollar super yacht on land’ offers guests the opportunity to experience life on a super yacht – without the sea legs.

While Thailand hosted its inaugural yacht show earlier in February this year, Kata Rocks adds on to the country’s luxury lifestyle, offering the best of luxury sea travel on land in a part of the world famed for glamorous surroundings.

With extraordinary sweeping views, the yacht-like villas offer floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors opening onto private infinity pools, ranging from 7 to 14 m long.

Futuristic super yacht design influences are evident, with wall to wall glass bringing the sunset inside, and a bed and sunken bath overlooking a glimmering Andaman Sea – all working together to create the sensation of floating on a luxury private vessel.

With stylish surroundings, Smart TV’s lower from the ceiling over lavishly linened beds, with bathtubs offering a stunning view.

Private chefs are on hand creating dishes for guests to enjoy in the privacy of their villa, while celebrity DJ’s get the party started.

Each villa is equipped with latest interactive iPad technology allowing guests to control the world of the Sky Villa at the touch or swipe of a button.

Located near Kata in Phuket, a clean-cut resort town, these super-yacht inspired villas are 43 in total, making up one, two, three and four-bedroom residences. Enormous, sun-filled and beautiful, they offer fully fitted kitchens and living and dining areas. There is also an oceanfront restaurant, a magnificent 35–metre infinity swimming pool with poolside bar and its own jetty to allow access to visitors arriving by private yacht.
