Phuket Beach Guide

Kamala Beach

Formerly a quiet, predominantly Muslim fishing village, Kamala is a beautiful spot in which to relax and enjoy the still peaceful village atmosphere of this scenic, unspoiled beach.

A small but good selection of bungalows, small hotels and lively local restaurant's can be found in the closely settled southern end of the bay, where fisherman can still be seen launching their boats and nets daily. More secluded resorts nestle higher up amongst the trees on the headland, capitalising on the wonderful sea and mountain views, and only a few minutes walk to a sandy white beach on the northern end.

A twice-weekly village market -- currently held each Wednesday and Saturday afternoon -- provides ample colour and fun for the visitor. You'll have the opportunity to mingle with friendly local residents, and to sample locally produced fruit, vegetables and delicious snacks. Also in Kamala is FantaSea Phuket, a cultural theme park that presents a nightly extravaganza show, and is the only one of its kind on the island.

If relaxation in a small seaside community is what you're after, you'll find Kamala a delight.
