Top 5 Reasons James Bond Stays at Kata Rocks

Four-bedroom Sky Pool Villa Penthouse

Kata Rocks, Phuket’s premier luxury resort and residence, would love to welcome James Bond (or the actor Daniel Craig for that matter) to the resort.

While he has yet to officially make a reservation, we know he would love to stay at Kata Rocks and experience the resort’s unique brand of six-star Phuket luxury living.

So without further ado, the top five reasons why James Bond would feel right at home when staying at Kata Rocks are as follows:

Four-bedroom Penthouse Sky Villas

Kata Rocks’ luxury Sky Villas are exactly the style that Mr Bond is accustomed to. He would check in as one ‘Mr Smite’, an urbane and wealthy UK-based property developer, to maintain his cool undercover persona. Of course he would be ensconced in a four-bedroom Penthouse Sky Villa. There he would swim in the private 14-metre swimming pool during the day, then sip his nightly martini in an outdoor terrace Jaccuzi while watching another stunning Phuket sunset in the evening.

“Shaken and not stirred…”

Everyone who has ever watched the Bond movie franchise knows that 007 is a devoted martini drinker, and a demanding one at that. We got you covered on this one James. The professional cocktail ‘mixologists’ at Kata Rocks would make sure that he is served martinis exactly how he likes them. That would be with three measures of Gordon’s gin, one of vodka and half a measure of Kina Lillet vermouth. Always shake well until it’s very ice-cold, and then add a large thin slice of lemon peel.  Now you know.

Dining on the Rocks

Dining on the Rocks is so James Bond; it would definitely suit 007’s style and verve. An oceanfront dinner in front of Kata Rocks is Phuket luxury living at its best. This would be a romantic, discrete and very private candle lit affair shared with an attractive companion. Both could be dressed to the nines in formal evening wear, however in this setting James would probably choose smart casual for comfort. The menu would cater to his eclectic culinary tastes and of course exceed his high expectations.

The Gym at Kata Rocks

James Bond is usually very fit (except when played by an aging Sean Connery or Roger Moore). The Gym at Kata Rocks’ state-of-art fitness facility would appeal to James’ inner geek, and he won’t have to bring his mate ‘Q’ along to help him train. Mr Bond would be guided by a simple Internet-based application (LFConnect) that is easily downloaded to his smartphone. The intuitive touch screen technology guides Kata Rocks guests, secret agents or movie stars through both Power Plate resistance exercise stations and Life Fitness cardio machines.

The Infinite Luxury Spa

Bond movies can be violent and James does take an occasional beating. Fortunately The Infinite Luxury Spa at Kata Rocks is equipped with chromotherapy chambers and coloured light therapy (colourolgoy), Italian-made Iso-Benessere water massage beds for aiding spinal integration, Metronap rest pod, Thai herbal steam room and infrared sauna for recovery and relaxation after thumping bad guys. A quick sun treatment using a Sun Spa Esthederm bed would also help 007 stay tan for the camera.
