Wake to the Relaxing Sound of Waves At the Top 12 Accommodation Spots in Kamala Beach!
Waking up to the gentle hush of waves and sunlight filtering through the curtains is the kind of peace I’ve only ever felt in Kamala Beach. One morning, I stepped onto the balcony of my seaside stay and realised that this place gave me peace!
Kamala has a calm rhythm unlike anywhere else, and each visit leaves me wanting more. While I’ve stayed at a few incredible resorts tucked along the shore, I’ve also got my eye on several others that keep appearing on my socials and a handful of recommendations.
From stylish villas with plunge pools to cosy beachside bungalows perfect for slow mornings, Kamala offers something for every kind of traveller. So here’s my roundup of the top accommodation spots where restful mornings and ocean views are always part of the plan.

You’re literally steps from the sand at Kamala Rooms, and that’s what makes it feel so special. It’s lowkey, personal, and gives you that peaceful “beachfront hideaway” kind of experience without trying too hard.
The rooms are simple but cleverly equipped—think ceiling fans, proper kitchenettes, and a good balance of comfort and function. What I liked most was the quiet, no-frills vibe where you can make your own coffee in the morning or grab a seat at the nearby beach cafe and just zone out to the sound of the sea.
It’s also pet-friendly, which is rare this close to the beach, so you don’t have to leave your furry pal behind. And even though it’s peaceful, the rest of Kamala’s bars and restaurants are just a short walk away.
Pro tip: Bring your moka pot or favourite espresso gear. They’ve got coffee beans in the rooms and the setup to make a pretty solid cup right on your terrace.
Sunprime Kamala Beach

You’ll find Sunprime Kamala Beach right where you want it—smack on the beach, no long walks needed. It’s an adults-only stay, so everything feels quiet and super laid-back even when the resort is at full capacity.
There are four pools to enjoy, and one of them has a swim-up bar, which is always a win! Rooms are simple but spacious, and the daily housekeeping keeps them fresh.
You’ll love the buffet breakfast that spills out poolside in the morning—great variety and solid coffee to kickstart your day. The beachfront restaurant is also worth sticking around for, especially at sunset.
Pro tip: Don’t miss their weekly Thai cultural nights. They’re low-key but fun, and a nice way to get a feel for local music and food without leaving the resort.
Twinpalms MontAzure Phuket

Operating hours:
- Check-in: 2 PM
- Check-out: 12 PM
Cost: ฿฿฿
Free Amenities/Services: free parking, WiFi, breakfast, outdoor pool, beach access, air-conditioned, gym
Twinpalms is that spot that gives you the calm end of Kamala Beach without skimping on luxury. The suites are seriously roomy—more like beach apartments with kitchens and dining areas, so you’ve got space to breathe whether you’re solo or with family.
There are two pools to float between: one tucked into the property and one right on the beach. The service here is consistent and friendly, and while the breakfast isn’t overly fancy, it covers all the basics, and the made-to-order eggs are a nice touch.
You’ll also love how private it feels with fewer units—especially compared to the mega resorts next door. One of the best parts? You’re right between Intercontinental and Novotel, which means beach clubs and restaurants are steps away without the crowding.
Pro tip: Skip the standard one-bedroom suite if you’re travelling with others. Go for the two-bedroom to get a second bathroom and a more functional layout, and promise, it makes a big difference!
InterContinental Phuket Resort by IHG

InterContinental Phuket is all about refined luxury in a spot that still feels laid-back. You’ll love how the resort is split between lush greenery and beachfront elegance—giving you two tally different vibes in one stay.
The rooms are sleek, the beds are super comfy, and the sea-view options are worth it if you’re after sunset moments. What makes this place stand out is the consistent, personal service.
The Club Lounge access (for upgraded rooms) adds value with solid breakfast spreads, quiet happy hour cocktails, and afternoon tea. You also get thoughtful touches like local recommendations from the concierge team and responsive help in case of any hiccups.
Pro tip: Book a Club InterContinental room. You’ll get exclusive access to a quieter pool, better breakfast, and a personalised check-in that saves you time on arrival.

- Check-in: 2 PM

Cost: ฿฿
Free Amenities/Services: free parking, WiFi, breakfast, beach access, air-conditioned
Lillo Island Resort feels like that relaxed beach spot you secretly hope to find. The rooms are tucked away in a quiet garden area, which gives you privacy, but you’re still just steps from the sand.
You’ve got a safe and easy setup, which makes it perfect whether you’re flying solo or bringing the whole crew. What you’ll love most is the open-air beachfront restaurant—it’s casual, unfussy, and delivers food that’s worth coming back for.
The red curry has a proper kick, and the staff are warm, chatty, and they remember your name after the first visit. Sunset here is something else, so you should prepare a cold drink, find a table close to the shoreline, and you’ve got front-row seats to golden hour magic.
Pro tip: Ask for a beachfront table just before 6 PM. The sunsets at Kamala Beach hit differently from this angle, and you won’t be fighting for a view.
Sunwing Kamala Beach

Address: 96/66 Moo 3
Contact details: +6676371650
Operating hours:
- Check-in: 3 PM
- Check-out: 12 PM
Cost: ฿฿฿
Free Amenities/Services: free parking, WiFi, breakfast, outdoor pool, beach access, air-conditioned, bar, fitness centre
Sunwing Kamala Beach is built with families in mind, and you’ll notice that from the second you check in. The beach is just steps away, and the hotel grounds offer enough pools and kid-friendly areas to keep everyone entertained.
Your kids will likely spend more time in the water than in the room, and that’s a win! There’s an onsite restaurant with a solid breakfast spread, though it leans more on routine than variety.
For lunch, the Fino restaurant by the beach offers a more relaxed menu with fair prices. The real value is that kids eat free with every paying adult, which is great when you’re trying to manage expenses without compromising on convenience.
Pro tip: Plan your lunch at Fino before 5 PM. You’ll save money, and the crowd is thinner, giving you a better shot at a beachside table.

Calm Kamala Phuket does exactly what the name suggests—it gives you a quiet, well-designed space to fully unwind. The rooms are new, smartly laid out, and surprisingly spacious for the price.
You’re getting real value here, especially with little touches like an umbrella in the room or a bathtub in many units. It’s about a 10-minute walk to Kamala Beach, which keeps you close to the action without sacrificing peace and quiet.
The property only has a handful of rooms, which adds to the charm and makes it feel less like a hotel and more like your own little retreat. No noisy groups, no chaos—just your kind of pace.
Pro tip: Grab a room with a balcony if available. It’s a quiet space to chill in the morning or cool down after a beach day without needing to head out.
Kamala Resotel

Kamala Resotel gives you that sweet middle ground—affordable, comfortable, and close to the beach. You’re less than a 10-minute walk from Kamala Beach, yet tucked into a quiet street that keeps the nights peaceful.
The rooms are modern and well-kept, with balconies that open to the mountains for a relaxing view first thing in the morning. The rooftop infinity pool is easily the standout because it’s not just for the photos—it’s a chill spot to cool off, and you’ll love how the mountain backdrop adds to the vibe.
Breakfast here goes well beyond the basics with options like pancakes, fruit, noodles, and eggs made how you like them. Plus, the staff genuinely go the extra mile, especially when you need a little help or aren’t feeling 100%.
Pro tip: Grab a spot at the rooftop pool just before sunset. It’s usually less crowded then, and you’ll catch some of the best light and quiet views of the surrounding mountains.
Deng’s Guesthouse Kamala

Address: 96/22 Moo 3, Soi Police Station Kamala
Contact details: +66801286014

Deng’s Guesthouse is a solid pick if you want something affordable, clean, and right near the beach. You’re literally a minute away from the sand, and because it’s in the centre of Kamala, everything from street food to convenience stores is around the corner.
It’s the kind of stay where things are simple, but all the basics are covered. You’ll get daily beach towels, a fridge for your snacks, a smart TV, and either a balcony or patio, depending on your room.
The family rooms are surprisingly spacious, which is great if you’re travelling in a group or just like to spread out. What stands out most, though, is the genuine care from the staff—guests often mention how they step in to help, especially when travel plans go sideways.
Pro tip: There’s a restaurant downstairs run by the same lovely team—grab a table here for an easy meal after the beach rush, and don’t skip their Thai iced tea. It’s better than what you’ll find in most cafes nearby.
PapaCrab Boutique Guesthouse

Free Amenities/Services: free parking, WiFi, breakfast, beach access, air-conditioned
PapaCrab Boutique Guesthouse is the kind of place that makes you want to stay longer than planned. It’s simple but smartly run, and being just a two-minute walk from Kamala Beach doesn’t hurt either.
What makes it different is the small touches—refilled glass water bottles, luxe shower gel, and a peaceful vibe that feels more like staying at a friend’s home than a hotel. You’ll find the rooms comfortable with all the basics: solid air conditioning, comfy beds, and patios that are great for a quiet sit-down after a beach day.
Don’t expect bells and whistles, but do expect helpful tips from the host, who clearly knows Kamala inside out. From sorting transport to suggesting ferry bundles, your host is the person who makes your life easier and your vacation memorable.
Pro tip: Ask the host about the nearby public bus stop—it’s the cheapest way to explore Phuket like a local, especially if you’re heading to Patong or Old Town. The bus isn’t well-marked, but he’ll tell you exactly when and where to wait.

If you’re all about space, service, and serious privacy, Andara Resort & Villas should be on your radar. The villas feel more like mini homes—massive layouts, full kitchens, private pools, and views that don’t need filters.
Whether you’re booking a one-bedroom suite or going big with a six-bedroom villa and your own chef, the vibe is relaxed luxury without the show-off energy. You’ll be well looked after here—staff are polite without being pushy, and even little things like fruit bowls, handwritten notes, and turndown touches add up.
The resort feels tucked away but still close to Kamala Beach, and there’s a shuttle to get you to the sand if you’re not up for the short walk. The food’s solid too—especially breakfast, which is worth getting out of bed for.
Pro tip: Ask the concierge about Andara’s private yacht charters. It’s not advertised heavily, but it’s a unique way to skip the crowded island tours and explore the Andaman Sea on your own time.

This one’s a solid pick if you’re after something clean, simple, and central without overspending. At Kamala Hotel doesn’t try to be flashy, but delivers where it counts—quick walk to the beach, fast WiFi, strong AC, and genuinely warm hospitality from the family who runs the place.
The rooms are well-kept, and little touches like free daily water, instant coffee, and beach gear make things convenient for your stay. You’ll appreciate the balance here—quiet location off the main road, yet still close to shops, restaurants, and a 5-minute stroll to Kamala Beach.
The rooftop terrace is a good spot to chill after a day out, even though there’s no pool. What makes this place unique is the personal attention you’ll get—requests (even odd-hour ones) are met with quick responses.
Pro tip: Don’t skip breakfast at the restaurant downstairs. It’s not your usual basic spread, and the portions are surprisingly generous for a small hotel setup.
