Location and what's nearby

Keemala sits on the quieter, jungled side of Phuket, backed by rainforest on one side with the sparkling Andaman Sea to the west. Beyond flitting between the pool and the calming, leafy corners of the resort, you’re close enough to several beaches that popping down to sun yourself on the sands won’t be a chore.

In the rainforest around you, there are several beautiful waterfalls for visiting, and the iconic Big Buddha of Phuket, who sits atop his statuesque perch to the south, is less than an hour’s car ride away. Down in Phuket city, roughly 30 minutes away, there are the bustling markets and buzzing nightlife venues that Thailand is famous for, so be sure to take a trip to the city to see what all the fuss is about.
