Aurora Villas Kata: villas in Kata

Aurora Villas Kata: eight villas on the hill above Kata

Aurora Villas Kata is a gated project of only eight villas set on a hillside above Kata Beach. The estate covers about 7,205 m² of land, so each home sits on a generous plot with gardens and changes in level separating it from the neighbours. The developer is Uni Power Holding (UPH), a company based in Singapore. The latest stated completion target is Q3 2027.

What sets Aurora apart from the rest of Kata is its architecture. Instead of the usual boxy volumes, the facades follow soft curves, terraces step down the slope in tiers and living rooms open up behind floor-to-ceiling glass. The design team cites the work of Kerry Hill as its reference. Most of Kata is built up with condominiums and small hotels, and private homes of this scale with a view over the bay are rare here.

Who it suits: large families who need separate staff quarters and space for guests, and buyers looking for a home on the level of a private residence rather than one more villa in a standard estate.

Villa types

There are three types of homes. Each has its own infinity pool, garden and a terrace facing the sea.

Type B: 4 bedrooms, about 514 m²

The most compact format, with four villas of this type. Living space is about 514 m² on plots of 479 to 596 m², with four bedrooms and five bathrooms. The living room, dining area and kitchen share one open volume under a 6-metre ceiling. Prices start at THB 61.58 million.

Type C1: 6 bedrooms, about 885 m²

Two villas on plots of 645 to 761 m². Six bedrooms, eight bathrooms and a separate maid's room, with extensive use of marble in the finishes. Prices start at THB 99.61 million.

Type C2: 7 bedrooms, from 1,218 m²

The two largest residences, with 1,218–1,229 m² of space on plots of 819 to 958 m². Seven bedrooms, ten bathrooms, two maid's rooms, a private spa and a gym. Prices start at THB 139.38 million.

Amenities

Shared life on the estate centres on a clubhouse at the edge of the slope, with a restaurant, a lounge and an open deck for sunset views. Residents also get:

• a fitness room and a spa;
• a co-working area;
• a landscaped park and paths between the villas;
• covered parking;
• round-the-clock security and CCTV.

The Kata area

Kata lies on the south-west coast of Phuket and is made up of two bays, Kata Yai and Kata Noi. It is one of the calmer beach areas on the island: families live here, surfers come in the rainy season and evenings are spent in small restaurants by the water. Karon with its long beach and markets is next door, and the Promthep Cape viewpoint is to the south. The hills above Kata are valued for their views over the bay and Koh Pu island, which are clearly visible from the Aurora terraces.

Purchase terms
