Keemala Resort Opens in Phuket, Thailand

Keemala, a new resort in Phuket overlooking Kamala Village and the Andaman Sea, has opened just in time for the end-of-year holiday season.

Keemala features four villa choices all complete with private pools and a range of both sea and mountain views.

The sixteen ‘Clay Pool Cottages’ reflect the earthiness of the ‘Pa-Ta-Pea’ (earth) clan who believed in a strong connection to the earth and harnessed agriculture as their trade. With a selection of one and two-bedrooms, the cottages range in size from 126m2 to 180m2 and with rates starting from THB 19,050+++ and THB 26,640+++, respectively.

The tent-like structure and wildlife inspired prints and textures of the seven ‘Tent Pool Villas’ reflect the nomadic way of life of the ‘Khon-Jorn’ (wanderer) clan who consisted of foragers, performers and traders. With a master bedroom and separate living space, the villa size is 140m2 and with rates starting from THB 21,200+++.

The seven ‘Tree Pool Houses’ use building techniques to give the impression that the structures are suspended from trees to represent the ‘We-Ha’ (sky) clan who worshipped the universe. This quirky two-floor villa design is 169m2 and can accommodate up to four guests. Rates start from THB 23,350+++.

The ‘Rung-Nok’ (nest) community inspired the design of the eight ‘Bird’s Nest Pool Villas’. This group enjoyed an opulent way of life, thus the exclusive interwoven design of their homes. This villa offers the most exclusive experience of all the villa types, with a total space of 185m2 and with rates starting from THB 25,500+++.

“We are thrilled to welcome our first guests to experience the uniqueness that is Keemala. Whether staying with us or just visiting the resort for a special occasion, we truly look forward to offering luxury services and creating memorable experiences for our guests to cherish. We are excited to showcase not only our unique designs but also the cultural richness and vibrancy of Phuket,” said General Manager Dominique Ronge.

At Keemala, guests and visitors can enjoy a diverse range of health and wellness activities. Mala Spa offers carefully curated spa treatments using natural, paraben and cruelty free spa products by VOYA, Siam Botanicals, and Spa Ritual.

Those seeking to unwind from the stresses of modern day life can select three-day and six-day Holistic Living Retreat packages that are personalised to individual needs, and typically include massages, wellness consultations, body enhancing exercises, and daily spa cuisine.

Those desiring more specialised retreats and treatments can reserve sessions with guest practitioners for such treatments as Arvigo Therapy, Dissolve Therapy, Tibetan Singing Bowl Healing, Clinical Aromatherapy, and Acupuncture.
