This time, the room we stayed was not very well cleaned at first. To be honest, we were even surprised at once! Earlier return to the room, cleanliness, everything is arranged, etc. After the first day of cleaning, we thought what we imagined. Plus, traditionally cream and coffee have not yet been reported. I asked the staff to fix this situation. It seems to have reported. The next day, it was repeated exactly. Then I was forced to contact the reception desk, after which they organized a meeting with the manager for me. I explained the situation to her, she walked with me to the room, where she saw confirmation of my claims. We must pay tribute, the reaction was timely! Our room probably hasn't been cleaned like that since its first day of use. In the following days of stay, everything was just really licked, arranged, filled and supplemented. Another issue that I immediately discussed with the manager is the issue of replacing three of my breakfasts, with an additional charge - for dinner. Let me explain. I went on a dive, respectively, three included in the price of my breakfasts burned out. I offered to change them with a surcharge for dinners, for my wife - who stayed at the hotel. I was refused. I think that this is not serious and a similar issue, in principle, we solve without difficulties. This is an appeal to the hotel management. I hope that next time, in case of contact, it will be resolved.
For the FOURTH time in a row we have been in this hotel and it speaks for itself! All previous reviews, here, earlier. Everything is good: the territory, five swimming pools, three bars, two restaurants. Cleanliness of the territory. We note positively, but we saw soft, non-wet mattresses on the sun loungers. I already wrote about this and previously told the staff, it was not quite comfortable to lie on the squeezed-out sunbeds. Now it's normal. The food deserves special praise and its quality does not change with each visit! Again, the presence of its own, fenced off by water, hotel beach is positive. Zero line to the sea. Thanks......

We made a deposit upon check-in. And after the eviction, the balance of the deposit had to be returned to the card within 14 days. But the money never came to us! Remained on the account of about 2500 baht (5000 rubles!). We have already called the hotel, they say contact your bank, which we naturally did, the hotel simply ignores the mail! It turns out the hotel stole 2500 baht from us. This spoiled the whole impression of the work of the staff, I would really like to get our money back !!!
The hotel itself is good, I liked the stay. We can't say anything bad about the hotel itself, but!

Have rested 3 times in this hotel from 2012 to 24 days and every time it gets worse. The rooms should already be reconstructed - (goose bumps and cockroaches are present in every room where we lived). The hotel is doing a full load - there are no sun beds for everyone, cocktails at the bar are diluted (and this was only noticed in 2019). Accommodation prices are increasing every year. People smoke on the next balcony so that you have a full smoke screen in your room. Massage at the hotel - as luck would have it. Sometimes it's lazy and nothing. Housekeeping is ridiculous to even describe. (in 24 days - not one general. Nobody even thinks about the need to wipe the railing on the cormorant from bird droppings. The electrician is organized very strangely. If you turn on the light, the TV goes out. ((Every year there are a lot of people and the fact that we loved this beach and the hotel - it will evaporate. The most interesting thing is that the compliment from the hotel fruit was only once. In previous years, at least 3. And then. Change the shower gel and soap - it smells awful.

Lived with my husband from November 1 to November 14, 2019 in room 6302. Room overlooking the pool and mountains, quiet, secluded. Room cleaning is top notch. Tea and coffee sets were replenished daily, as well as water (used glass bottles are collected by the staff and replaced with new water). In the hotel bottles you will find shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, hand soap, body lotion, in the boxes you will find toothbrushes, a shaving machine, a comb, shower caps, cotton swabs, and in the closet there are slippers and bathrobes. The hotel has gorgeous breakfasts, including a lot of fruits, pastries, delicious yoghurts. Massage at the hotel cost 300-400 baht (by the time of our departure it was cheaper than on the beach), manicure - 250 baht, pedicure - 300 baht. Taxi to the airport - 700 baht. 3 times a day from the hotel to Patong a shuttle runs, one way 100 baht, round trip - 150 baht. The restaurant by the sea organizes festive evenings with a show program and live music, a table for two about 2500 baht. There is a pedestrian path between the hotel and the sea, on the left - the village and the shop 7/11, on the right there are restaurants and cafes (I highly recommend Lilla Island). On Friday and Monday (approximately from 14:00 to 19:00) there is an exit market not far from the hotel, where you can buy fruits, souvenirs, delicacies, clothes

On the way from the bus stop to the hotel there is a vacant lot and a busy road. Sometimes cleaning is too late. A bit tired rooms and lack of lighting in them.
The hotel is within walking distance of the smart bus stop, Fantasea Park. There is a market across the street on Mon and Fri. Not far from the hotel is a street with restaurants, bars, shops and massage parlors. Huge green area with 4 swimming pools, 2 restaurants, access to the sea. The hotel has taken into account all the wishes indicated during the booking. Spacious room that has everything you need: kettle + tea / coffee facilities, which are generously replenished daily, bottled water, refrigerator, safe, toiletries in the dispenser, large shelf for storing suitcases.

Excellent hotel on the first line. Good restaurant, many swimming pools, one of which (with a bar) is open until 22-00. We lived in the second building on the third floor with a direct view of the sea (which was almost invisible due to lush vegetation). The room is spacious, all the necessary accessories are available (toothbrushes, shaving razors, etc.), as well as an iron and ironing board. The bed is not really big and comfortable, the linen is good.

This resort region has a special place. The former Muslim fishing village is suddenly in high demand among tourists. And all because on a crowded island it was Kamala beach (Phuket) that turned out to be the most suitable for a relaxing holiday, as if somewhere on Koh Samui or Ko Phangan. It especially attracts travelers who have not come for the nightlife and dubious pleasures a la Pattaya. It is located in the western part of the island, north of the bustling Patong. There are not so many luxurious hotels here, mainly "three" and "four". But let's talk about everything in order.
How to get to Kamala
Arriving in Phuket by international plane or you change to a taxi or minibus. The latter will cost half the price - about four hundred baht. It is even cheaper to get to the capital of the island by bus, and from there take another flight to Kamala beach. Phuket Town is a good transport hub, connected to almost every corner of the island. The only problem is that buses run quite rarely, about once an hour. They are blue and travel through Kamala and Surin to Bang Tao. The distance between the airport and Phuket Town is approximately the same - about twenty kilometers.
Why do they go to Kamala beach?
Phuket is so popular with tourists that it is quite difficult to find a cozy place where the locals are not too spoiled by vacationers and the prices are not so high. But it is here that all these bonuses are combined, and there are practically no minuses. Therefore, people who stay here for a long rest - at least three to four weeks - tend to come here. And if in the season the south of this resort can be filled with people - due to the influx of people who wish from Patong - then its northern part is still a reserved corner. Although the resort infrastructure is not very developed, most hotels have everything you need. It is also a paradise for divers. After all, Kamala Beach (Phuket) boasts beautiful coral reefs, located not very far from the coast.
Sea rest
It is good to swim and sunbathe in Kamala. The beach is quite long - it stretches for one and a half to two kilometers along a very picturesque bay covered with palm trees, so there is enough space for everyone. and small. The descent into the water is gentle, but the waves are not very strong. Sun beds and sun loungers are expensive. They are mainly concentrated in the south and in the center of the resort. There they cost about two hundred baht a day. There is a developed tourist infrastructure, many water activities and massage parlors right on the shore. A little further you can go to any beach bar, order something - and lie on their inventory as long as you want. But already in the very north you will have to do with your own or hotel beach towels. But there are almost no people here, and the water is very clean and transparent. This is because in the north of Kamala Beach there are almost no different skis, bananas and scooters. But do not forget that during the rainy season it is dangerous to swim here, because very strong underwater currents begin.
What else to do here
Firstly, this resort has the famous Phuket theme park "Fantazea", where people come from all over the island. There are grandiose performances, where not only hundreds of people, but also animals take part. There is also a wonderful restaurant Golden Kinnarii. Its amazing buffet is legendary. To get there, you need to buy an entrance ticket to the park and pay extra for a visit. Secondly, one of the fashionable entertainment in Kamala is a parachute flight to view the resort from above. And if you do not dare to do this, then you can climb to the top of the Khao Phonthurat hill. There is an excellent observation deck from where you can see the entire Kamala beach, which you can do from there are amazing. After all, the resort is covered with tropical forests, climbing the rocks.
Where to eat
Even if there are no such grandiose shopping malls with food courts like in Patong, their absence is more than compensated by various stalls with delicious and fresh Thai food. In addition, the main street of the resort is replete with restaurants and cafes where you can eat for a lot of money or not. And on the beach itself there are a lot of pockeys and other hawkers. French and Italian cuisine is very popular in Kamala, so if you have the means and want to eat with a real chef, visit places such as La Carbonara, Basilico and White Orchid. Delicious especially seafood, prepared in the restaurants "Rockfish", "Sweet Dreams" and "Ponds".
What and where to buy
As already mentioned, there are no large shopping centers, but small shops are everywhere. Tourists buy here everything they need for rest - mattresses, towels, mats, slippers, swimwear and more. Souvenirs, simple clothes and shoes are also sold at affordable prices. Since the beach "Kamala" (Phuket) - reviews confirm this - is a Muslim part of Thailand, the main market here is open on Fridays. Come and you will not regret it. You will not find so many different delicacies, including dried exotic fruits, as well as branded items at ridiculous prices.
What to see
In the south of the resort there is a rather interesting Buddhist temple with beautiful modern paintings illustrating the life of Gautama. A cozy park with a memorial to the victims of the 2004 tsunami is located nearby. It is known that the village of Kamala was razed to the ground by this terrible disaster, and then completely rebuilt again. In addition to the Fantasea Park, where a theatrical and circus performance of the ancient prince of Kamala with dances, various special effects and a demonstration of ancient Thai magic unfolds, you can visit other shows that take place in the Palace of the Elephants. And on Fridays, the most famous bar in the area, Skila, organizes a disco with professional DJs.
Resort hotels
Hotels on Kamala Beach (Phuket) are mainly located along Beach Road. Unlike most of the island's resorts, there is no road between the local hotels and the sea, so here you can find hotels on the first line from the sea. Among the luxurious five-star palaces, the most popular are Ayyara Resort, Cape Sienna Hotel and Villas and Naka Phuket. Ayara Kamala is located on a hill, quite far from the beach, but its rooms offer beautiful views, and a free shuttle takes you to the sea.
But "Cape Sienna", on the contrary, is located on the ocean. Therefore, all of its rooms and villas (some have not only their own kitchens and private pools, but even wine cellars) - overlooking the sea.
Fours are usually located across the street from the beach. The best of them are Aquamarine and Swissotel. The latter is interesting in that it is located not too far from the Phuket Jangseylon shopping center, and besides, it has its own mini-water park.
Hotels on the Kamala beach (Phuket, 1st line) are also three-star. There are few of them, they are unpretentious, but very functional. An example is the Kamala Beach Inn. There are many cheap guesthouses and apartments in the resort, such as Tara Hotel, Baan Hostel, and so on.
Thailand, Kamala beach (Phuket): reviews
This corner of the island is very popular with couples, lovers and young people looking for privacy. The beach is more loved by the French, Germans and other Europeans, there are not very many Russians here. But those who have visited this land call Kamala the best place in Phuket. Few tourists, clear water, white clean sand, and everything you need. A lot of shade from the palms that grow everywhere. There are even semi-wild beaches where you can hardly meet people. Besides, it doesn't get boring here. The people are mostly decent. Reviews about hotels in Phuket (Kamala Beach) are very positive. A stay in five-star hotels is called an elite vacation, complete relaxation and luxury-style pastime. But there are also excellent responses about cheaper hotels, especially about the ratio of price, quality and service. Some hotels have a good view of the sea, while others have all the conditions for a romantic vacation or rest with children. Come!
These photos were taken from a small area, which can be found if you follow from Kamala beach towards Surin (well, or vice versa, from Surin to Kamala), not far from Kamala, not reaching Laem Sing beach, there will be a small natural area from which this splendid view of the entire Kamala beach.
Kamala Beach is a stunning beach in every way!
For us, Kamala Beach has become a source of harmony, beauty of nature and a relaxing atmosphere.
First of all, it is very beautiful, it immediately catches your eye as soon as you come to the beach. Here, tall palm trees lined up along the perimeter of the beach strip are so harmoniously combined with sea water of a delicate blue-turquoise color and soft white sand, which, in the sun, shimmers and plays in different shades, from snow-white to light beige and even gray -yellow.
And here are the happy newlyweds
Secondly, Kamala beach is not crowded and calm. In addition, there is no carriageway right behind the beach, which gives additional silence. All this contributes to a calm, measured and relaxed rest.
The length of the coastline of Kamala Beach is almost 2 kilometers, which is not small, and the beach is about 20-30 meters wide, not much, but these meters are quite enough for relaxation. In addition, due to the fact that the beach smoothly turns into the embankment, visually, the beach strip seems much wider.
The sea water is clean. The beach is also quite clean and well maintained. There is natural garbage from palm trees and carried by the sea wave, but we did not notice household garbage on the beach, it is clear that the beach is regularly cleaned.
For a quieter relaxation and sunbathing, the north side of the beach is more suitable. It is quieter here than in the central part of the beach. Here, at the farthest, northern point of the beach, is the 4-star Hotel Novotel Phuket Kamala Beach. The hotel is adjacent to the public part of the beach. Casuarin trees give a good coolness, which also act as a source of a pleasant smell.
The central part of the beach has all the necessary beach infrastructure. There is a toilet and shower, as well as some beach and water activities - banana and jet ski riding, parasailing over the sea surface. You can rent a boat or kayak. And for even greater relaxation, order a massage and relax under the gentle and skillful hands of Thai girls.
In search of coolness, you can take advantage of the natural shade emanating from the palm trees that grow along the perimeter of the beach strip, or rent a sun lounger and parasol, there are a great many of them in the central part of the beach. The price is 200 baht per day for two sun loungers and an umbrella.
The southernmost part of the beach is not suitable for a beach holiday, it is a wilder place, the coastal area is dirty and boats are crowded.
And thirdly. If you have already forgotten, then, under these points we list the advantages of Kamala Beach)). Thirdly, Kamala does not end on one beach, Kamala can rightfully be called a fully developed provincial town of the same name. An embankment runs along the length of the beach, and in the center of Kamala there are several streets, where an abundance of cafes and restaurants, bars and massage parlors, small shops and retail outlets, as well as exchange offices, hotels and guest houses are concentrated.
A narrow promenade runs along the beach, one part of which is occupied by hotels, therefore it is calmer and more conducive to walking.
In the central part of the beach there are cafes and restaurants, some of which are located right on the beach strip.
Near the embankment, in the central part of Kamala, there is a small green park, which houses a cafe, a playground and a historical monument - Tsunami Memorial Park.
Monument to the victims of the 2004 Tsunami
Moving higher from the park to the center of Kamala, you will certainly come out to the bustling Rim Hat Rd street, along which there are numerous outlets, shops, massage parlors, exchange offices, cafes and restaurants, as well as hotels and guest houses.
Cons of Kamala Beach
For us personally, the only disadvantage of the beach is the rivers flowing into the sea. There are several of them on the beach. These rivers are far from ideal, dirty, but not smelly. However, swimming in the sea, you completely forget about it. In addition, the confluence of "stinking rivers" into the sea on the beach strip is inherent in most of Phuket's beaches.
Entertainment and attractions of Kamala
One of the main and outstanding entertainments of Kamala is carrying out a colorful and large-scale show "Phuket Fantasy". Phuket FantaSea is a whole theme park, in an entertaining performance of which beautiful scenery, many actors and trained animals are involved.
On Fridays, an evening outbound market is organized in Kamala (in Phuket it is called a night market). At the market, you can buy clothes and souvenirs, as well as enjoy Thai cuisine, the dishes of which will be prepared in front of your eyes.
You can also walk to the Temple of Kamala (Wat Kamala). The territory of the temple is quiet and comfortable. And the bright buildings with red tiled roofs and the sculpture of Buddha are made in the traditional Buddhist style and are unlikely to leave anyone indifferent. The temple is located in the southern part of the beach, near the school.
Where to stay in Kamala
There is a wide variety of accommodations near Kamala Beach, ranging from the most expensive and respectable 5-star resort hotels to budget hotels and guesthouses. All accommodation facilities on Kamala are possible.
How to get to Kamala beach
From the airport by taxi, or you can rent a motorbike or car. Well, or, what is the fastest and easiest, you can order an individual transfer in advance. At any time of the day, at the airport, a driver will be waiting for you with a sign where your name and surname will be written. To order a taxi, it is enough to provide your flight details.
By public transport with a change in Phuket Town.
From Phuket Town
By songteo (local buses) following the Phuket - Bangtao - Surin - Kamala route. Fast, direct, direct. The fare is 40 baht.
From Bangtao and Surin beaches
On a songteo. Or on foot. The road from Surin Beach is close and will take about 30 minutes, passing over the sea and along the cape. From Bang Tao beach further, but walking is quite real.
From other beaches and points of the island, also with a transfer in Phuket town, a rented bike or taxi / tuk-tuk.
How we travel cheap!
After Phuket's most famous and crowded beach, Patong, Kamala's long wide beach is a breath of fresh air. A beach framed by picturesque casuarines ideal for swimming and relaxation... Even in the rainy season, there are people here - though mostly locals, rather than tourists who try to surf on the intensified waves.
Compared to other cities and towns in Phuket, Kamala is more like small traditional thai village... Of course, there is also a tourist infrastructure (where can you go without it nowadays), but you don't have to go far to find a secluded place to relax, where you can enjoy authentic Thai food in a modest restaurant, which is mostly attended by locals. not tourists (and this is an indicator of quality and inexpensive food).

The coast stretches for almost 3 kilometers. The beach can be roughly divided into 3 areas: south on both sides of the hill, center and north. The southernmost tip of Kamala is not suitable for swimming. At low tide it gets very shallow, and the bottom is bare with stones. Two rivers flow into the sea on the south side, and fishermen moor their long-tailed boats here. Slightly south of Kamala, across the pass, is the secret Hua Beach. It is completely wild, there is almost no infrastructure.
The central part of Kamala starts from the tsunami monument and continues to the north. The sand is of different sizes, in some places it is quite fine, in others it is larger. The entry into the sea is gentle and without stones, which is suitable for swimming with children. At low tide, you need to walk to the depth. The color of the water is not as beautiful as on Surin or, the sea sometimes seems unclear, although it is clean. The central part of the beach is lined with casuarines and palm trees, which provide natural shade. This is where the main beach infrastructure is located: sun loungers and umbrellas for rent, drinks stalls and water sports. The price for a set of two sun loungers and an umbrella is 200 baht per day. There are places here where you can sit with your mat in the shade of the trees and relax comfortably without fear of getting burned. Paid toilets and showers are provided by nearby restaurants.
The very north of Kamala is quieter than the central part. There are not many people here, you can sit on a mat in the shade of trees, and swimming is just as comfortable as in the center, the ebb is hardly noticeable. A stream flows into the sea, which dries up in high season and does not bother tourists.
The south of Kamala beach is not suitable for swimming
Kamala beach hotels
There are not many hotels in Kamala. All of them are located near the sea. In the very south, on the mountain, there are also private villas. The sea around them is not the best: the tide is noticeable, the bottom is with stones, but the hotels provide shuttles to their own beach club with a good sea, and the views from the rooms and restaurants are gorgeous. In the central part of Kamala, you can stay in a three-star hotel, in four only adults from the age of 16 and in a children's hotel with entertainment for young guests. In the northern part, right on the beach is located, and a little to the side - with water slides.
Photo shoots are organized on Kamala
Attractions and entertainment
The coastline is popular with newlyweds from China. In the morning, photographers run around happy married couples and make them pose even in the midday heat. Photo sessions take place closer to the north of the coast, where it is less crowded. There are not so many water sports on Kamala as on and, you can ride a jet ski, fly with a parachute. The bay is suitable for a relaxing beach holiday, long swims and a charming sunset sitting on the sand or in one of the restaurants near the beach. There are no problems with drinks and Thai food right on the coast: in the central part every day, rows of makings and cafes are located. On the beach itself there are peddlers selling corn, ice cream and other snacks. There are several massage points right on the beach and salons along the streets.
Beach makers serving cocktails
In the southern part of the beach there is a Buddhist temple - Wat Baan Kamala. On the territory of the shrine, you will find a bell tower, monastic cells, a school and a main building with painted walls and a statue of Buddha. The beauty of the temple cannot be compared with or. Wat Baan Kamala stands out for its rustic charm and tranquil seclusion. If you have time, take a look at this Buddhist temple, just do not forget to cover your shoulders, neckline, knees and stomach. It is customary to take off your shoes when entering the building.
There are many cafes along the beach in the central part
In the evening it is worth visiting the famous. There are many shops with souvenirs on the streets, you can take pictures in national clothes, see local crafts, a small terrarium and Bengal tigers, ride an elephant. You can visit the park with dinner, which takes place in the golden palace of Kinari. The show is held every day, except Thursday, in a stone palace with elephants. The village of Fantasi and the show will please the children. If you are resting as an adult, you should give preference.
What to do in Kamala?
In the central part of the coast, vacationers are offered water sports: parasailing, banana and aqua scooter. Long-tailed boats moor in the south for trips to Phuket's beaches. There are no places for snorkeling on Kamala; it is better to go to the islands for fish and corals.
In the low season from May to October, waves appear on Kamala. You can also rent a surfboard or take lessons with an instructor. For lovers of training in the south, in front of the pass, there is a Thai boxing camp, where both group and individual classes are held.
In the center of the beach, on the embankment near the Tsunami Memorial, there is a small park with a playground and sports equipment. It will be interesting for kids to ride a roller coaster or swing on a swing. Access to the playground and exercise equipment is free. From the hill, just north of the Novotel Phuket Kamala hotel, a gorgeous view of the entire beach opens. If you wish, you can climb there along the main road on foot, but be careful: there are no pedestrian paths.
View from the observation deck to Kamala
If you get bored in Kamala, take the city bus to explore Phuket Island. His stop is located near the local post office. Blue Songthaew travels on the main road from Kamala through Surin and Bangtao to Phuket Town. The bus will take you to the shopping centers Villa Market, and, and. Detailed route information
Restaurants and cafes
There are vendors selling drinks, popcorn, ice cream and other products along Kamala Beach. In the central part of the coast, restaurants and cafes, makashnits and stalls with, and are lined up in a row. Restaurants serving European food are concentrated in the streets near the Print Kamala Hotel and the Tsunami Monument. I can recommend the German restaurant Kokosnuss, which offers pasta, schnitzels, sausages, yoghurts, pastries and much more. On the shore with a gorgeous view of the sea, there is a good restaurant Mamma Mia with European, Thai cuisine, etc. Another favorite of mine, Ohlala restaurant, is on the main road. The menu offers Thai classics, dishes from the north of Thailand, including kao soi soup, papaya salad, and European food.
Beach street with shops and restaurants
For a special occasion, opt for the Plum Restaurant at Cape Sienna. On the open terrace there are ordinary tables and round gazebos surrounded by water. Prices in the restaurant are above average, but the view is simply amazing. The menu includes Mediterranean, European and Thai seafood cuisine. And if you want to have a cup of delicious Thai coffee, head to Doi Chang Coffee. You will find detailed information about Kamala restaurants.
Night life
Kamala cannot boast of active evening entertainment. Several bars are located on the streets of the central part of the beach and along the main road. Perhaps the most famous are Kamala Beer Garden and the sports Aussie Pub. Closer to the north, you will find two beach clubs - the Phuket branch of the famous Café Del Mar in Ibiza and the HQ Beach Lounge. During the day, the beach clubs play nice music, suitable for lunch, and towards the night there are parties.
Desperate party-goers should go, take a walk, look into bars, where, come off at a disco. Some hotels offer shuttle buses to Bangla Street or Jangceylon Shopping Center. will cost 300-400 baht per car one way. The ride takes only 10-15 minutes.
Markets and shops on Kamala Beach
The Kamala area cannot be called a paradise for shopaholics, but everything you need is there: exchange offices, markets, 24-hour mini-markets and a supermarket. scattered all over the beach, both on the promenade, near the Tsunami Monument, and several on the main road. There are two markets on Kamala: opposite on Fridays and at the pass to Patong on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
Big Sea Shopping Center
Groceries, ready meals, household chemicals, cosmetics and more can be bought at Big C Supermarket on the main road, Tesco Lotus Express or Superchip. Souvenirs and beach items can be found in shops on the waterfront and in the surrounding streets. Do not forget about: peddlers with elephants, tunics, bedspreads walk along the beach. Be sure to bargain with them.
