Years ago, it used to be the place to dine and party at one of the many beach clubs, but all were declared illegally built and removed one day. Pansea Beach next to it is a beautiful but private beach only accessible to the guests of the two 5-star hotels sharing it: The Surin and Amanpuri.
The dining scene seems to be changing faster than the seasons. Kamala was famous for the many small restaurants and bars set all along the beach on a 1 km strip. These restaurants are not always legally built, so they tend to come and go, making it difficult to tell which is open or closed when you arrive. However, there are still a few of them to enjoy in the middle area.
Those are nice for a slow and cheap continental breakfast by the sea. Boat Bar is a simple but always popular restaurant right on the beach, and the staff very friendly. They serve a great range of Thai food and Pizza at an excellent price.
Perfect for drinks at sunset too! There is still a bit of old-fashioned nightlife, and you are still in Phuket, after all. You can also find some quaint little bars where you can grab a small bite to eat and a refreshing cold beer, or enjoy a relaxing cocktail while you watch the sun setting.
Dotted along the beach road you can find several small souvenir shops, mini markets, tailor shops and others, and in between the small buildings you will find one entrance to Kamala Beach. On the main road that runs through Kamala Town you can find even more bars and restaurants, there are also several banks, a Big C supermarket, and a post office.
While Kamala Beach area is not one of the most touristy in Phuket, it does still offer a few attractions and entertainment venues that would be worth a visit during your stay at Villa Tantawan Resort. The park is massive with an area of , sqm 60 acres and includes a beautiful Thai culture theatrical show, a themed buffet restaurant, and a themed shopping street.
A masterfully designed beachfront oasis for VIP chill-out experiences. Distance from Villa Tantawan: 3 Km. The waterfall consists of 4 levels but people can only get to the second level.
The higher levels are too deep into the thick jungle. During the rest of the year it can get pretty dry due to the more sporadic rainfall. This is because the island is characterized by tropical hills covered in jungle, some over meters 1, ft high. This, in combination with the countless jungle trails, creates endless opportunities for jungle trekking and hiking on Phuket Island! The hills overlooking Kamala Beach, where Villa Tantawan is located, are among the best places to enjoy Phuket jungle trekking.
There are trails starting directly from Villa Tantawan or nearby. From there you can hike over the hill all the way to Kalim View Point and even Kathu waterfall. It's about a mile along the beach starting from the temple at the south end passing fishermen and their longtail boats, then the main beach with beach chairs and small restaurants.
The northern section is very quiet, as a large part of the land behind the beach is a Muslim graveyard. There are still a few little beachside shacks selling drinks.
It's not most people's idea of "busy" Phuket! I started the walk at the temple The temple end of Kamala beach is not so good for a swim, as a couple of canals drain into the sea there - all the chairs and hotels are further up the beach. Not far from the temple there were longtail boats and fishermen cleaning their nets.
I guess they had already unloaded the catch - you have to wake up really early to catch a fisherman in the act! Before 9am the heat is not too bad for walking, and there are patches of shade on the beach, shadows cast by trees, not by tall buildings - you don't see any huge hotels here, even the larger hotels at Kamala are quite low key.
Beach chairs were empty, although some of the restaurants were busy serving breakfast. The "main drag" along Kamala beach is a narrow path lined with small restaurants and hotels. The traffic mainly passes through on the main road which is about meters away from the beach. Most of the population of Kamala lives along roads to the east of the main road, rather than near the beach. The school is close to the beach, but if you wanted to see more local life in Kamala you'd have to get off the beach..
Much of the local population lives inland towards the hills.
