Kamala Beach holidays offer a traditional taste of southern Thailand, with idyllic beaches, turquoise waters and tasty seafood.
Slice of paradise
Looking out over the Andaman Sea from Phuket's western coast, Kamala Beach retains a peaceful village vibe – a contrast to the noisy nightlife of south Thailand's better-known hotspots. A Buddhist temple sits quietly in the town, while the palm-lined shore's dotted with laidback eateries that serve up authentic home cooking.
Simple sands
Kamala Beach may have fewer activities on offer than other beaches – think traditional Thai long boats rather than high-octane watersports – but the sands are unblemished and the waters are warm. A small row of beachfront restaurants keeps snacks and menus at the ready. This is the perfect place to simply relax and daydream beneath the coconut palms.
