Ayara Kamala Resort & Spa

Perched on Kamala Bay on Phuket’s west coast, this resort sits on a quiet promontory with its own rustic beach. It’s minutes from Kamala Beach and Laem Singh Beach, about 20 minutes to Patong and Phuket Town, and close to the Tsunami Memorial and Phuket Fantasea. A family-friendly beachfront resort & spa for chill sea-side stays.

The property is a boutique hillside resort of 42 rooms and villas designed around the ‘Ayara’ concept—gentle, roomy and inspired by elephants. Rooms blend contemporary and traditional touches: black tiles, luxuriously marbled bathrooms, wooden and earthy tones, private balconies or patios and pillowtop beds. Expect in-room fridges, LCD TVs, DVD players, sofa beds and bathrooms with separate tubs and rainfall showers. Ratana Spa and a spa tub offer professional treatments, while pickleball and tennis courts sit among lush greenery.

Take a dip in the outdoor pool, hit the fitness center then unwind in the sauna or spa. Poolside bar and two lounges keep drinks close, and a complimentary beach shuttle makes the sand easy to reach—wake up to sea-breeze mornings. Other perks include Wi‑Fi throughout, parking, concierge and babysitting/childcare services. Airport and ferry shuttles available for a surcharge.

Business center, 24-hour reception and limo/town car service are on hand, with Wi‑Fi available throughout the property.

The Cradle restaurant serves authentic Thai dishes alongside international favorites, using quality local ingredients and homemade recipes. Dine on the terrace for horizon-facing views, enjoy poolside bites and cocktails, and start mornings with a complimentary breakfast.
