Keemala, Phuket

Description: Keemala

Nestled in a lush tropical rainforest, Keemala is a brand new luxury eco-resort, enjoying a spectacular, secluded location, a short distance from Kamala beach. Set in the midst of lush gardens, with streams, waterfalls, and dense tropical vegetation, this fabulous property offers exclusive accommodation in four types of uniquely designed cottages, villas and tree houses.

The award-winning design of each of Keemala's four types of unit echoes the construction techniques of a regional tribe or clan: the Clay Pool Cottages reflect the earthiness of the 'Pa-ta-pea' Clan, the Tent Pool Villas echo the 'Khon-Jorn' Clan, while the Tree Pool Houses and the Bird's Nest Pool Villas are built in the style of the 'We-ha' and the 'Rung-Nok' clans, respectively. Inside, bespoke cane and timber furniture, exclusive fabrics and unique fittings mirror the style of the exteriors.

While each villa has a large private pool, Keemala also has a communal pool at its centre for relaxing with fellow guests. Other facilities include an enormous fitness area, a spa with organic and traditional treatments, and yoga and meditation zones. The in-house restaurant specialises in healthy, wholesome cuisine, based on the finest organic produce, and there are four main dining venues, as well as exclusive in-villa dining. A fabulous bar and a unique wine cellar complete the gourmet picture.
