Tranquil and calm, surrounded by forested hills, the beach at Kamala
is one of the most beautiful in Phuket. Despite rapid development
to the village over the last few years, the beach remains unchanged.
You won't find high rise hotels,
or shopping malls, because things
tend to be on a smaller scale than the sister beaches of Patong
and Karon. Instead you'll
find lots of small guest houses, restaurants,
shops, cafes, and perfect spots to watch the sun go down. You might
even see the buffalos taking an evening stroll...
Travellers revisiting Kamala will see a change from the sleepy
fishing village of a few years ago, but will find a better choice
of hotels and places to eat plus a new road which makes the beaches
down the coast easily accessible. Nightlife
is still low key - dinner on the beach catching the breeze, or at
restaurant by the sea, or drinks with new found friends at a local
cafe-bar, but with Patong Beach only a 10 minute drive away, it
doesn't need to be action packed. Kamala does have one big evening
attraction. Phuket Fantasea, an amazing Las Vegas style cultural
show complete with pyrotechnics, lasers and elephants. Well worth
seeing. For travellers seeking a compromise between hectic Patong
Beach and places with absolutely no facilities, Kamala is an
excellent choice.

Not a shopper's paradise, Kamala nevertheless has a number
of little shops and street stalls selling inexpensive beach
and sportswear and souvenirs. During the high season, vendors
set up along the walkway by the beach selling mainly beach
clothes, hats and low cost souvenirs.

Relaxed, unhurried, peaceful, Kamala is a place to take it
easy, feel the sand between your toes and appreciate the good
things in life. Eat some great seafood right on the beach,
at local restaurants or on the terrace of your hotel.

Informal open air restaurants, cooled by the evening breeze,
serving freshly cooked local food - that's Kamala style. This
former fishing village doesn't have the wide range of international
restaurants on offer at places like Patong, but it does have
lots of small friendly places to eat. (Read

While Kamala is one of the quieter beaches in Phuket,
there's still lots to provide a break from all that sun, sea
and soft white sand...
Have a ride on a Banana Boat which doesn't require any other
experience than a good grip and a sense of fun... (200 Baht
per person).
