BEST VISITING MONTHS

COST

WHY STAY

Tucked into the misty hills of Phuket’s Kamala Valley, Keemala is a sanctuary where rainforest, sea, and sky converge. Perched above the Andaman coast, the resort offers sweeping views and a sense of quiet seclusion, a place to pause, breathe, and reconnect with nature. Surrounded by verdant foliage and the calls of tropical wildlife, Keemala invites guests to step into a world where privacy, serenity, and the rhythm of the natural landscape define every moment.

Keemala’s architecture is a story in itself, inspired by Phuket’s cultural heritage and the mythical tales of four imagined tribes: the Earth, the Wanderers, the Sky, and the Nest people. Each of the 38 pool villas reflects these traditions, blending harmoniously with the jungle and hillside. From the earthy Clay Pool Cottages to the whimsical Bird’s Nest Pool Villas, every space transports guests into a realm of imagination, where design, material, and setting are in dialogue with the surrounding landscape.

Wellness flows through every facet of Keemala. The Mala Spa draws on ancient healing practices, offering treatments that restore body, mind, and spirit. Yoga, meditation, and ritual baths complement the villas’ private pools and open-air terraces, creating a holistic sanctuary where each stay is as restorative as it is luxurious.

WHY WANDER

Keemala is a sanctuary for body, mind, and spirit. Yoga and meditation unfold in open-air pavilions and forested clearings, where the sounds of birdsong and rustling leaves guide each breath. The Mala Spa offers rituals rooted in ancient healing traditions, from herbal therapies to therapeutic massages, allowing guests to pause, restore, and reconnect. For a deeper immersion, the Holistic Living Retreats provide curated experiences in mindfulness, movement, and rejuvenation, weaving wellness seamlessly into every moment of your stay.

For those drawn to the wild, the surrounding rainforest becomes both playground and classroom. Guided jungle treks and nature walks reveal native flora and fauna, while expert guides share stories of the valley’s ecology and conservation efforts. Adventure seekers can soar along zip lines, climb the cliffs nearby, or explore Phuket’s turquoise coastline at Patong and Surin beaches.

INDULGE IN

The resort’s restaurants celebrate Thai flavors with locally sourced ingredients, from aromatic herbs and spices to seafood caught along Phuket’s coast. Each dish is crafted with care, balancing tradition and innovation, whether it’s a fragrant curry, a jungle-inspired salad, or a tropical dessert beneath the canopy.

GETTING THERE

Keemala is tucked into the hills of Phuket’s Kamala Valley, a serene escape away from the island’s bustling beaches. The journey begins at Phuket International Airport, where a scenic drive of approximately 40 minutes winds through coconut groves, rainforest, and gentle hills.

WILD INITIATIVES

Keemala is designed with deep respect for the land it inhabits. Architecture and villas are integrated into the jungle rather than imposed upon it, preserving native flora and fauna. Rainwater harvesting, energy-efficient systems, and eco-friendly materials reduce the resort’s environmental footprint, while locally sourced ingredients and artisanal craftsmanship support the surrounding communities. Every element—from the clay-brick cottages to the herbal spa rituals—is conceived to harmonize with nature, creating a luxury experience that nurtures both guests and the ecosystem around them.
