Hidden away in the lush rainforest of Kamala on the west coast of Phuket, Keemala is one of those very special places you’ll remember forever. Perfect for honeymoons, special celebrations or simply the chance to escape from the world, you can do it all at this exceptional resort, featuring some of the most incredible accommodation you’ve ever seen!

Here you’ll find an exquisite array of bespoke pool houses and villas – individual havens of opulence. Each features its own indulgent swimming pool and is perfectly positioned to offer the most breath-taking views. What’s more, you won’t find these incredible abodes anywhere else; each one has been uniquely designed to reflect the ancient cultures of the fictitious clans of Thailand, bringing their beliefs and philosophies to life through enchanted design.

Set upon a lush green hill, seven Tree Pool Houses await, inspired by the We-ha (Sky) Clan. Seemingly suspended above the ground, each stunning raindrop-shaped hideaway offers two floors of luxury, with exceptional views of the rainforest and resort. On the lower level is an exquisite lounge and dining area, where woven hanging pod chairs feel as if you’re floating on air! Upstairs, the magnificent Master bedroom features the most sensational king-size bed (or twin beds if you’d prefer), centrally positioned for majestic morning views.

Step out to your private balcony and cuddle up on the suspended lounger, big enough for two and best enjoyed with an ice-cold drink in hand! You’ll also discover a spacious and stylish bathroom in your Tree Pool House, complete with a super relaxing standalone bathtub. There’s also an additional guest washroom, and even an outdoor shower to really make the most of those views! And then of course there’s your private pool, for relaxing dips against that breath-taking mountain backdrop.

Or why not take inspiration from the Rung-Nok (Nest) Clan, and experience total indulgence in an exquisitely crafted Bird’s Nest Pool Villa? Suspended on stilts, these eight rainforest retreats will cocoon you in luxury as you look across the trees, the mountains and even as far as the ocean. Each single-storey Bird’s Nest Pool Villa comes complete with a magnificent Master bedroom, featuring an oversized king-size bed topped with a fairy-tale canopy for pure romance.

Your large terrace features two irresistibly comfy loungers, perfect for catching some rays while you sit aloft among the trees. Cool off afterwards in your private pool and soak up the incredible experience of swimming in a tree canopy! Each villa also features a spacious bathroom, with a monsoon shower and a bespoke standalone bathtub – hewn from stone and ideally positioned for bubble baths with a view.

There’s also the option to stay in one of Keemala’s Clay Pool Cottages, inspired by the Pa-Ta-Pea (Earth) Clan. Set back down on the ground, these equally exquisite cottages have been designed to reflect earthiness through the use of natural materials and straw-topped roofs. 16 cottages feature one bedroom, while two cottages offer two bedrooms – perfect if you’re part of a larger group.

Finally, the seven incredible Tent Pool Villas reflect the nomadic ways of the Khon-Jorn (Wanderer) Clan, where an ingenious tent-like structure sits atop a luxurious villa below! Wake up in your oversized king-size bed to views of the rainforest and resort, before taking a dip in your private pool, or meeting with friends at the fabulous Cha-La Pool Bar.

As well as your magnificent villa, Keemala has much more in store to help you relax, unwind and enjoy. Treat yourself to a heavenly treatment at the Mala Spa, or ease your mind and body with some yoga, Pilates or meditation. If you want to get more active, there’s circuit training, Thai boxing, and a selection of fitness activities on offer.

After all that work, indulge in some fine dining with Keemala’s ‘Feast for the Senses’ at the Mala Restaurant. Soak up the relaxed yet sophisticated atmosphere as you enjoy local produce and ingredients picked fresh from the resort’s organic garden and cooked to perfection by top chefs, and be sure to sample a bottle or two from the extensive wine list. Keemala’s Destination Dining even offers dinners for two or intimate Champagne picnics in hand-picked locations for that very special occasion.

You’re also just a stone’s throw from the tranquillity of Kamala Beach, while the vibrancy of Patong Beach and the dynamic action of Phuket is just a short distance away. Nobody would blame you, however, for spending every moment in the evergreen wonderland that is Keemala, where the rest of the world simply fades to a distant memory as pure relaxation takes over.
