In 1987, M.L. Tridhosyuth added the 36 hotel rooms and changed the name to The Boathouse Inn and Restaurant. The Boathouse's reputation for excellent cuisine is such that Executive Chef Tummanoon shares his expertise with guests at weekend culinary workshops. Since its opening The Boathouse has served guests from around the world, including royalty, diplomats and rock stars. The opening of the Boathouse Art Gallery and the selection of The Boathouse as the venue for regular meetings of The Chao Phraya River Club have made it popular with resident expatriates looking for a more cosmopolitan and sophisticated lifestyle than Phuket generally offers. Rooms also have satellite TV with remote control, a program of in-house movies and piped music, radio and individual safes.
Bathrooms have bath tub and shower, hair-dryer, bathrobes and a range of the finest toiletries.
Valet and laundry service are available. In addition to our private pool and health centre, The Boathouse offers the Island Lounge and Library for cocktails at sunset, the Boathouse Boutique, and a Jacuzzi. In a peaceful tropical environment, we feature a small fitness room, and traditional Thai massage by a team of certified professionals. Executive Chef Tummanoon also shares his expertise with guests at weekend culinary workshops. Only one hour jet from Bangkok and 45 minutes from Phuket International airport, The Boathouse enjoys an idyllic location right on unique and unspoiled Kata Beach.
