Keemala

Award-winning Keemala is a gorgeous, holistic retreat amid nature. The resort features 38 pool villas, each with a distinctive design inspired by the ancient tribes of Phuket: clay cottages of the earth clan, tent villas of the nomadic clan, tree houses of the sky clan, and the bird’s nest villas of the wonder clan. All villas are jaw-dropping, with four-poster beds outdoor bathtubs, and with stunning views of the rainforest, mountains, and the Andaman Sea. Keemala has a lagoon-shaped swimming pool, a rooftop restaurant serving fresh, local food, a wine cellar, bar, library, and a spa with eight pod-like treatment rooms offering holistic therapies including reiki and sound baths. You can also join the complimentary daily activities, such as yoga, tai chi, meditation, photography tours, and cocktail making. This luxe resort is located on the west coast of Phuket, surrounded by tropical forest, close to the popular Kamala beach, but far away from the crowds. There is a complimentary shuttle bus to the beach four times a day.
