Kamala Beach is located on the west coast of Phuket, just north of Patong, away from the crass commercialization. It is a haven for those who prefer a quiet and relaxing atmosphere. The southern end of the beach can get busy in the high season but the northern end remains peaceful throughout the year. The Beach Road (on the southern end) has a number of small hotels for the budget travellers. Although the northern end is mostly underdeveloped, the mountainous headlands in the south are dotted with uber luxury villas and resorts. This area of Phuket is a major spot for exclusive resorts and vacation homes for the celebrities and elite.

Although Kamala does not attract tourists in the same numbers as the other beach destinations in the island, it has a certain aura which prompts a decent amount of high-quality tourists to come here year after year.
