Kamala Beach

A peaceful paradise on the west coast of Phuket that attracts couples, families and those seeking peace and quiet. With its gently curving coastline and breathtaking views over the Andaman Sea, this beach provides the perfect backdrop for relaxing days away from the hustle and bustle. Many hotels in Kamala Beach are slightly elevated and offer impressive panoramic views over the sea. As a result, most accommodations do not have direct access to the beach, but many hotels provide free shuttle services so that guests can easily reach the fine sandy shore. A nearby highlight are the modern beach clubs, which offer stylish relaxation and are only a short drive away from the lively Patong Beach - ideal for those who want to immerse themselves in the occasional nightlife.

The northern part of the beach offers the opportunity to snorkel and explore the underwater world. Water sports are also available, although the pace here is much more relaxed than on Phuket's busier beaches.
