Novotel Phuket Kata Avista Resort and Spa stands on a green hillside in Kata, above Phuket's west-coast beaches. Kata Beach is 200 m away and Karon Beach is 400 m away. Kata and Karon are quieter beach areas than Patong, with a family-oriented character; the hotel has sea, pool and garden views, plus facilities for children. The approach from the shore is steep, so the uphill return is a consideration if you plan to walk.

Free private parking is available on site, with no reservation needed. Phuket Town is 12.3 km from the hotel, making it a separate outing from the beach area.

Wat Kitti Sangkharam, a local Buddhist temple, is 1.3 km from the hotel; Phuket Big Buddha, a hilltop religious landmark, is 2.1 km away.
