Kamala Beach

Kamala Beach is situated in the exotic island of Phuket. Kamala Beach is surrounded by forested hills and is one of the most scintillating beaches in Phuket. The village of Phuket has seen many rapid developments over the last several years, but Kamala Beach remains untouched. This well-enclosed beach with a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere is frequented by retirees or long-term visitors. There are numerous small hotels, villas and apartments surrounding Kamala Beach. These hotels and apartments offer a great view of the Kamala Bay and beyond the meandering roads.

You will not find sky-rise buildings or modern shopping malls, but that is where the real charm of the beach lies. You can bask in the sunshine or take a dip in the cool translucent water. The conditions at the Kamala Beach are ideal for numerous water sports. There are abounding eateries here that offer international cuisines for tourists who visit from different parts of the world. The food offered is world-class and the tourists flock in great numbers to this beach just to get a taste of the exotic food and drinks that are available.

If you are lucky, you might even see buffaloes taking an evening walk. The nearby Patong Beach is high on nightlife and dazzling atmosphere, but if you are willing to relax and enjoy a peaceful holiday, then Kamala Beach is the one for you.
