Hidden among Phuket's lush jungle lies Keemala. This unique resort, inspired by the stories of ancient Thai clans, offers stays that are more like works of art than traditional villas. Think tree houses and nest-shaped suites, all with private pools and views of verdant valleys or the azure sea. Here everything is about peace, well-being and connection with nature - whether that's during a treatment at the Mala Spa, a meditation session at the edge of the jungle or while relaxing in your own villa. Keemala feels like a world unto itself, away from the hustle and bustle of Phuket.
The hotel is open all year round.

Built with local materials, the Tree Houses and Clay Cottages are inspired by the four ancient tribes of the area, providing a cultural and visual experience you won't find anywhere else.
Each of the 38 private pool villas at Keemala is perfectly integrated into the surrounding landscape and connected by jungle paths. Infused with natural elements and unique designs, the villas are inspired by the mythological cultures of Phuket's first inhabitants. Stay in a Clay Cottage, inspired by the 'Pa-ta-pea' clan, or in a Tent Pool Villa with spectacular views. For something truly unique, choose one of the seven Tree Houses, which seem to float. For the ultimate indulgence, choose a Bird's Nest Pool Villa.
Our favourite is the Tree House! Besides the experience of sleeping in a tree, you also have your own private pool.
Enjoy your own pool by your room in privacy.
Learn the ancient art of yoga from an experienced practitioner in a pavilion among the trees or book a revitalising spa treatment. If you prefer something more energetic, make an appointment with the on-site personal trainers and work your way into shape under the trees.
Children of all ages are welcome, but the hotel is more suitable for older teenagers.
Order a pinto set for breakfast at your villa. Elements of the meal are served in bowls stacked in an impressive three to six tiers.

The chef's mission is to deliver simple but exquisite culinary delights that are sustainable, organic and locally grown.
