China’s WITRIP travel magazine gives a colourful and detailed 8-page review of Keemala’s unique architecture.

Keemala is a newly opened luxury resort in Phuket with a very distinctive design. A must visit for those who love to travel.

Keemala is a hideaway retreat located in the hillside forest of Phuket, Thailand, away from the hustle and bustle of the island and overlooking the west coast village of Kamala.

Keemala in Phuket draws inspiration from Thai mythology, its 38 villas creating a fantasy land of weird and wonderful structures set in the abundant woodland not far from the village and beach of Kamala.

Keemala’s Tent Pool Villa bathroom is listed as one of the five of the best ‘Bath and Beyond’.

Thailand is a unique jewel in the crown of Southeast Asia. The perfect brew of ancient culture, stunning mountains and paradisiacal coastline makes visiting a must for almost every perpetual traveler.

Children love few things more than escaping into a treehouse to create a world of their own imagination. Now, a grown-up version of this childhood playtime fantasy has been brought to life in the hills of Kamala Beach, Phuket.

The design-centric Keemala, built into the forested hills just up from Kamala Beach, is a welcome alternative to the district’s more traditional offerings. The 38 villas grouped into cottages, tents, tree houses and bird’s nests draw upon tribal designs paired with posh perks, like private plunge pools, outdoor showers, and deep soaking tubs with sea views.

Keemala takes holistic travel to new heights. Sun, sand and sea are no longer the only features that Phuket has to offer. Pristine beaches and clear blue skies are usually the images we conjure up with every mention of the famed Southern island province.

Keemala is king. Nestled in the hills overlooking Kamala Village and the Andaman Sea, Keemala is a world apart from the average Phuket resort in both style and ethos. A retreat from the everyday, Keemala is a sanctuary for those wishing to rebalance, rejuvenate and relax.

Indigenous folklore inspres hyper-luxe fantasy in the remote rainforest resort of Keemala. Before Phuket, the largest island of Thailand, established itself as a tourism terminal today, the leafy region – laiden with hilly rainforest and lying in the Andaman Sea – sat on a 17th century trading route between India and China, serving as both a port of possibility and contention.

All eyes are on Phuket this month, when the fantastical Keemala finally opened its recycled wooden doors. The hotel looks like a cross between Avatar’s Pandora and The Hobbit’s Middle-earth.

On the west coast of the island of Phuket, in Thailand, stands an original style resort, rich in history. Developing within a forest paradise, the Keemala resort takes its inspiration from the ancient settlers of the island.

Anticipated to be Thailand’s most exciting launch this year is Keemala Phuket, and uber-luxe all pool villa resort. A holistic haven of wellbeing, therapies incorporate traditional healing rituals from Thailand and Tibet and promise a sacred journey using sight, scent, sound and touch.

This Thai resort also wraps itself in woodland – but its quirky architecture is built to stand out. Inspired by local tribes and communities, there are ‘clay pool’, ‘bird’s nest’, and ‘tent’ villas to choose from.
