Keemala Resort  

Perched on rolling hills above Kamala Village in Phuket, this 5-star hilltop resort looks over woodland and the Andaman Sea. It’s about a 4-minute drive to Kamala Beach and roughly 7 minutes to Surin Beach; Bang Tao and Patong are each around 7–7.4 km away. Phuket International Airport sits about 25.4 km from the property.

Only 38 private-villa style rooms, each with its own plunge pool and private balcony or terrace. Expect smart TVs, multimedia setups, deep soaking bathtubs, rainfall showers and complimentary wired and wireless internet. Minibars are stocked with complimentary soft drinks, local beer and snacks. The grounds are lush and intimate, with duplex Tree Pool Houses and non-smoking accommodation throughout.

A full spa and wellness centre offers massages, body treatments and facials alongside a fitness centre and sauna. There’s an outdoor pool and a poolside bar for easy, sea-breeze lounging. Concierge and wedding services are on hand, plus a tour desk to arrange day trips. Valet parking is available and an airport shuttle runs for a surcharge.

Grab international plates at the on-site restaurant Mala, sip at the bar or unwind by the pool with a cocktail. 24-hour room service is available, and a complimentary English breakfast is served each morning from 7:00 AM to 11:00 AM.
