Kamala Beach is located on the west coast of Phuket, just north of Patong. It is a haven for those who prefer a quiet and relaxing atmosphere, especially when it comes to its beaches. This area of Phuket is a major spot for exclusive resorts and vacation homes for the celebrities and elite; in fact, the Kamala area is best known for the Millionaire’s Mile, a sea-fronting area populated by exclusive private vacation homes.

If you’re searching for the finest luxury villas in Phuket, Kamala is an ideal choice, and even the most elevated properties can put you within a short distance from the beach. So what can you expect when you stay in the area? A lot, to be exact, since you’ll be a short distance away from restaurants, bars, and other establishments. Here’s a sneak peek at one of Phuket’s most opulent enclaves.

Where To Go

Kamala’s location on Phuket’s west coast can only mean one thing: The sunsets are guaranteed to be nothing short of spectacular. The beachfront itself is home to establishments that use their views of the blazing Kamala sunset to their advantage, lending a relaxed yet memorable ambiance to any event.

1. Activities

The waves at Kamala Beach are known to be pretty strong, so it’s not surprising to see surfers on this part of the island especially during monsoon season. On days when the water is calmer, you can see a lot of visitors trying their hand at off-shore activities such as jet skiing and diving. A pro tip: The southern end of the beach can get busy in the high season, but the northern end remains peaceful throughout the year.

2. Dining

A few of Kamala’s premier fine-dining restaurants are located within the area’s well-known beach resorts. At the Intercontinental Phuket Resort, Hom showcases the unique food creations of chef Ricardo Nunes and his team, which focus on local produce, sustainable practices, and the use of fermentation. Meanwhile, Silk at the Andara Resort and Spa and Talung Thai at Paresa Resorts add contemporary touches to traditional Thai cuisine.

3. Nightlife

One of the highlights of Kamala is the famous Cafe del Mar Phuket, an extension of the iconic beach club in Ibiza. Here you will get the ultimate beach club experience, including decadent cuisine, refreshing drink selections, exclusive cabanas and a roster of international DJs providing the perfect music for the night’s festivities.

Where To Stay

While Kamala is home to some of Phuket’s finest hotels and private residences, it’s still recommended to book a full-service luxury villa in any of the area’s most exclusive estates and neighborhoods. Not only will this ensure safety and privacy for guests, but it also adds an air of exclusivity in knowing that you and your loved ones will have the villa all to yourselves.

On the prestigious Millionaire’s Mile, you will find Villa La Prana, which faces the sea from an elevated point of view. Villa La Prana has 7 opulent bedrooms, along with an infinity pool, spacious living and dining areas, a well-equipped game room, and a Thai-style poolside sala that’s perfect for al fresco meals and lounging.

At Kamala’s Laemson Estate is Villa Analaya, featuring a stunning poolside area inspired by Thai architecture and surrounded by expansive gardens. The main draw of the villa is the zero-edge infinity pool with a view, along with an alfresco dining area and an outdoor sala. With six well-equipped bedrooms and enough room for comfortable lounging indoors, Villa Analaya is a luxurious retreat from the ordinary.

Another Laemson Estate property is the elegant Villa Purissara, a five-bedroom villa with incredible views of the sea from the poolside deck. The villa can easily accommodate up to 10 guests and includes access to a private beach for swimming and kayaking. Other features include indoor and outdoor dining spaces as well as an exclusive spa room with massage tables for ultimate relaxation.

Villa La Thale and Villa Varya are not only close to Kamala, but also share access to the beach on their estate. Villa Varya is a five-bedroom property that has open-plan living and dining areas that lead to the breathtaking pool deck, complete with an infinity pool that faces the sea view. Villa La Thale, on the other hand, has five bedrooms, luxurious indoor living and dining areas, and a dedicated fitness room that also shares the gorgeous view of the waters below.

Apart from Millionaire’s Mile, other Kamala properties include the five-bedroom Villa ANDA and the 8-bedroom Villa AMANN, two sister beachfront villas providing unparalleled luxury and comfort for smaller groups. These villas, with their spacious living areas, luxurious bedrooms, and expansive pool decks, are ideal havens for the ultimate Kamala getaway, and can even be booked together for larger gatherings.
