Kamala Beach located on the west coast of Phuket, Thailand, offers a more relaxed and peaceful atmosphere compared to the busier Patong Beach nearby. Known for its wide stretch of golden sand and calm waters, it’s a popular spot for swimming, sunbathing, and enjoying a laid-back beach holiday. Here are our favourite luxury hotels in the area.

Kamala Beach, Phuket
Paresa

Nestled on a cliffside high above Kamala Beach (where the hotel has its own beach club), Paresa enjoys an address on the ‘Millionaires Mile’ stretch of coast overlooking the Andaman Sea. Its name means “heaven of all heavens”, giving a good indication of the kind of views, service and facilities you’ll have here. Stay in one of 42 villas with private pools and cool, chic decor. Try your hand at some watersports (there’s a free shuttle to the beach), swim in a rose quartz energy pool, dine at the signature Talung Thai restaurant, or opt for some native cookery classes at Paresa’s own culinary school.
