Tours in Kamala Beach Resort Phuket. Kamala Beach, Phuket: Best of Exotic
Beach Camala. on Phuket (Kamala Beach) for me a very ambiguous beach, no longer one year I can't decide on I like it or not 🙂 there are beaches, in love with the first time - for me it is the best beaches Phuket Surin and, there are beaches, which at first glance cause horror - for me it is kata and Patong, and there are such middle beaches that are sometimes very pleased, and sometimes grieved. In this article detailed description Kamala Beach Phuket, Sea, Infrastructure, Hotels on Kamala Beach, photos, reviews.
Kamala Beach on Phuket - so different depending on the time of year, time of day, weather and my mood 🙂
Description Kamala Beach Beach
Kamala Beach Long Beach in Bay in the West of Phuket Island, is the north of the popular Patong and south of his beloved. Between Patong and Kamala, there is still a non-palary beach Kalim, and between Camala and Surin, the passage to which at the moment is closed at the land, it is possible to get there only by sea. Kamala Beach
As I have already written, the beach of Kamala is quite long, the length of the beach strip is about two kilometers. Conditionally, the beach of Kamala Beach can be divided into four parts (map-diagram below):
- The southern part is a non-barbeled part of the beach, a small sea, boats, a river-smelter falls nearby (digit 1)
- Centralized part of the beach with all the necessary beach infrastructure and a small walking path near the sea (figure 2)
- The wild part of the beach of Kamala, which ends with a river (digit 3)
- The very northern part of Kamala Beach, on which the beach club Café Del Mar Phuket and the Novotel Phuket Kamala Beach hotel (NIGHT 4)
On the map scheme schematically indicated areas of Kamala Beach All these parts of the beach differ from each other and the quality of sand, and the occasion of the sea, and the number of people, and cleanliness.

Along the entire beach strip, elegant palm trees and spreading casuarins (such Thai "coniferous" trees with soft "needles"), which create a good shadow in the first half of the day are growing.
On the beach rainy vegetation, many kazuarine 
Palms on Camale also enough 🙂 The beach bar during the tide is not very wide, so it is convenient to sunbathe in the shade under the tree, and then a short time to run along the heated sand, to cool in the sea 🙂
Sand on Camala Beach grayish, small, in some way with an admixture of small stones. In the northern part near Novotel, the sand is smaller.

Sand on the beach 
Sand in the northern part of the beach near the hotel Novotel more small and white The occasion in the sea is very smooth, in the southern part of the beach the sea is very small, it is problematic, in the central part of the sea is deeper, but it also becomes fine. Entrance to the water without large stones and corals, but in some places there are small pebbles in the water.
The southern part of the beach in the sump. Very small 
Towing on the beach 
Despite the fact that the sea goes away to go to the sea in the central part of the beach anyway The color of the water in the sea is very dependent on the time of day and the presence of the sun. In the first half of the day, with sunny weather, the sea brightly turquoise, but in the evening gray ... water in the sea is not so pleasant and affectionate, like on Surin or Kata Noah, and because of the gray sand at the bottom it seems not very clean, although in fact it not this way. In general, the sea on Kamal looks like the sea on Samuysk or, i.e. Not perfectly transparent!
The sea on Kamal may be like that color! The first half of the day on a sunny day 
Or that. The second half of the day, the neurwax sun shines from the sea 
Water on this beach seems perfectly transparent In the summer on the beach of Kamala Beach, as on most of the beaches of Phuket, strong waves, in the offseason (autumn and spring) waves are small and very pleasant, in winter on Kamal usually calm.

Full calm winter Purity
Unfortunately, the beach bar of Kamala Beach does not shine purity. Well remove the sections of the beach only opposite hotels, namely the most northern part The beach near Novotel and the central opposite the Kamala Beach Resort (A Sunprime Resort).
Due to the fact that there is a lot of casuarine on the beach, there are "needles" on the sand from them, there are many leaves on the sand, which no one removes. In the wild part of the beach Kamala Beach, many garbage, several times even saw how foreigners came with large garbage packages and suggested cleanliness on a small area of \u200b\u200bthe beach.
The beach can not boast of perfect cleanliness, quite a lot of natural garbage 
On the sand "needles" from trees Beach Kamala Infrastructure
Now Some Phuket Beach returned the sun beds, which by law should take no more than 10% of the beach stripes: not on all the beaches they are, but on the beach Kamala Beach there are sun beds and umbrellas for rent, cost for two beds and umbrella 200 baht per day.
Beds and umbrellas on the beach - 200 baht for the set 
Lodges are waiting for tourists 🙂 Also on the beach there are paid toilets and souls that I saw in those places (I will note on the map at the bottom of the article):
- In the northern part of the beach near the river
- In the cafe Nanork Seafood, which is located on the track between the equipped and wild part of the beach, where all the parking lot (only the shower here is a hose and a barrel with fresh water 🙂)
- In the central part of the beach, where a row of a cafe ends along the sea and a row of Makashnitz (normal shower, even have a shower gel 🙂)
Toilet 10 baht, shower 20 baht. You can also try to rush in the soul on the territory of the Sunprime Resort.

Or in the cabin overlooking the sea Along almost all coastline There is a concrete pedestrian walkway, in some places in sand. In the central part of the beach on one side of it there are cafes and even a few hotels on the first line, and on the other hand, the beach and the sea. It is very nice to sit in a cafe almost on the very seashore: unfortunately such cafes that are located right near the beach band, where you can find on Phuket. In the "wild" drawing part of the beach on one side of a concrete fence path, and on the other, the Beach itself: it is convenient to drive up on the bike and park right next to the place where you are lying 🙂

Contingent and number of people on the beach
A year ago, Kamala Beach, especially his wild part, was almost empty. In the same season, there is simply the invasion of tourists throughout Phuket (they say that such an alloculars of vacationers in Thailand was the last time in the 2012-2013 season, just when we were winning for the first time)!
Very many foreign pensioners, Germans, Scandinavians. But Russian-speaking, too, enough for Kamala Beach. This beach is often choosing to relax with children, there are a lot of families with strollers walking along the walkway along the sea or along the surf line at low tide.
Local newlyweds for the wedding photo session love to come to Camala, we have repeatedly observed photo shoots on the beach 🙂
This season is on Kamal, and in general on Phuket, a lot of people

The infrastructure of the Kamala district is well developed. The main road runs about 350 m from the beach strip. There is a large supermarket Big C, a lot of 7 Elevenov, Family Mart, other shops, banks, cafes, restaurants, at a certain time, the Makashnitsy laid down along the road.

After the most famous and crowded Beach of Phuket, Patong, a long wide beach of Camala will become for you a real sip of fresh air.

Even in the rainy season there are people here - the truth is mostly local residents than tourists who are trying to surf on the strengthened waves.
Compared to other cities and towns of Phuket, Kamala is more like small traditional Thai village. Of course, there is and tourist infrastructure (where without it today), but you do not have to go far to find a secluded place to relax, where you could enjoy the genuine Thai food in a modest restaurant, where there are more local residents, and not tourists (and this is a quality indicator and inexpensive meal).

Kamala Beach is a stunning beach, in all respects!
For us, the beach of Kamala, has become a source of harmony, the beauty of nature and a relaxing atmosphere.
First of all, he is very beautiful, it immediately rushes into the eyes as soon as you approach the beach. Here are high palm trees, built into a row along the perimeter of the beach strip, are so harmoniously combined with sea water of a gentle blue-turquoise color and a soft white sand, which, in the rays of the sun, shifts and plays various shades, from snow-white, to light beige and even gray -Hell.
And here are happy newlyweds
Secondly, Kamala Beach is a little and calm. In addition, immediately behind the beach does not pass the roadway, which gives additional silence. All this contributes a calm, measured and relaxed rest.
The length of the coastline of Kamala Beach is almost 2 kilometers, which is not enough, and in the width of the beach about 20-30 meters, a little, but these meters are quite enough to relax. In addition, due to the fact that the beach smoothly goes into the embankment, visually, the beach bar seems much wider.
Water in the sea is clean. The beach is also quite clean and well-groomed. There is a natural trash from palm trees and rendered sea waveBut the household garbage on the beach we did not notice, it is clear that the beach is regularly cleaned.
For more quiet rest and sunbathing is more suitable for the north side of the beach. Here quieter than in the central part of the beach. Here, in the longer, the northernmost point of the beach is the 4-star Hotel Novotel Phuket Kamala Beach. The hotel is adjacent to the public side of the beach. Good coolness gives casuarine trees, which also act as a source of pleasant smell.
The central part of the beach has all the necessary beach infrastructure. There is a toilet and shower, as well as some beach-water entertainment - banana and a hydrocycle, flying on a parachute over the sea. You can rent a boat or kayak. And for even larger relax, order a massage and relax under the gentle and skillful hands of Thai girls.
In search of coolness, you can use a natural shadow emanating from the palm trees growing around the perimeter of the beach strip, or rent a chaise lounge and an umbrella from the sun, which are in the central part of the beach. The price is 200 baht a day for two sun loungers and an umbrella from the sun.
The southernmost side of the beach is not suitable for a beach holiday, it is a more "wild" place, on the coastal zone dirty and boots are cumulative.
Well, thirdly. If you have already forgotten, then, under these items, we list the advantages of Kamala Beach)). Thirdly, Kamala does not end on one beach, Camala can rightly be called quite developed provincial towns. The promenade takes place in the length of the beach, and in the center of Camala a few streets, on which the abundance of cafes and restaurants, bars and massage salons, small shops and outlets, as well as exchangers, hotels and guest houses are concentrated.
Along the beach, an unbroken embankment passes, one part of which is occupied by hotels, so more calm and placing to walk.
In the central part of the beach, cafes and restaurants are located, some of which are straightforward on the beach strip.
Near the waterfront, in the central part of Camaly, there is a small green park, in which the cafe, playground and historical monument - Tsunami Memorial Park.
Monument to the victims of the Tsunami 2004
Moving from the park above, to the center of Camala, you will certainly leave the lively Rim Hat RD street, along which numerous shopping points are located, shops, massage salons, exchanger, cafes and restaurants, as well as hotels and guest houses.
Cons of Kamala Beach
For us personally, the minus can be called, except that the river flowing into the sea. There are several on the beach. Rivers are far from ideal, dirty, but not smelly. However, swimming in the sea, you completely forget about it. In addition, the sign "River-smelhes" into the sea on the beach strip is inherent to most of the beaches of Phuket.
Entertainment and attractions of Kamaly
One of the main and outstanding entertainment of Kamaly is to carry out a colorful and large-scale show "Phuket Fantasy". Phuket Fantasea, this is a whole theme park, in the entertainment presentation of which are involved in beautiful scenery, many actors and trained animals.
On Fridays, Evening is organized on Kamal (in Phuket it is called the night) exit market. On the market you can buy both clothes and souvenir products, and to enjoy Thai cuisine, whose dishes will be prepared in your eyes.
You can also walk to the Kamala Temple (Wat Kamala). On the territory of the temple is quiet and cozy. And bright buildings, with red tiled roofs and the Buddha sculpture are made in the traditional Buddhist style and can hardly leave someone indifferent. The temple is located in the southern part of the beach, near the school.
Where to stay on Kamal
Near Kamala Beach is a wide variety of housing, ranging from the most expensive and respectable 5-star resort and ending in low cost and guest houses. All accommodation tools can be.
How to get to Kamala Beach
From the airport by taxi, or you can rent a motorbike or car. Well, or that the fastest and simple, you can order an individual transfer, in advance. At any time of the day, at the airport, you will be waiting for the driver with a sign, where your name and surname will be written. To order a taxi, it is enough to tell your flight data.
On the public transport With a change in Phuket Town.
From Phuket Town

With other beaches and points of the island, also with a transfer to Phuket Town, rented bike or taxi / Tuk-Tuka.
How traveling is cheap!
Like most Siberians, my husband and I love to ride in Thailand, especially in winter, to warm up and break from 30 degree Siberia at least a couple of weeks. There is nothing better than sitting on the plane and from winter and snowdrifts to be in a tropical paradise among palm trees, fruits and, of course, the sea. But the passive holiday on the same beach is not for us, so we set out to learn Phuket Island, its attractions and beaches. One of those who were interested in our beaches was Kamala Beach.
How to get where is
The most famous and tourist beaches on the island of Phuket are located western coast. Each beach is in the bay and is usually separated from neighboring small mountains on both sides.
The beach of Kamala Beach is comfortably located between and Surin. Kamala - a little-known for Russian tourists Beach 20 km from Phuket Airport, which undeservedly bypassed the tour operators. Most batch tours Expose accommodation on the beaches of Patong, Karon and Kata or on elite beaches of the northern part of the island. Here there are mostly those who travel on their own or those who, like me, loves to recognize a new one and wants to explore the island.
That is how we did, arriving at Phuket on a ticket and settled at the hotel on Patong Beach. We have subscribed a car and set off to examine all the beaches of Phuket, the benefit of this is not difficult, there are signs everywhere. 
Bike us, unfortunately, without the experience of driving were not given. From the beach to the kamala approximately 10 kilometers or 10 minutes per car or 15 minutes on the bike. Roads on a very good quality island, the only minus - they are winding, so be careful.
During the tourist season on the beach there are boats that offer for $ 40 (about 1,500 Thai bat) Rolling you to Patong and back. Some use them instead of a taxi.
In Kamal, there is a bus stop (Songteo), on which 1.11 $ (40 baht) can be reached before Phuket-Town and back, but buses are not often walking, once every 20-30 minutes. Unfortunately, direct communication with such buses between the beaches on the island does not exist, but if you do not want to spend money on a taxi, you can get through Phuket Town. For example, from Patong Beach you are reaching the final (Phuket Town, Ranong Market), and there are replant from the bus to the beach of Kamala. But note that you will have 40-60 minutes for one such trip. Also consider that buses go only until 6 pm. 
By taxi to Phuket Town you can drive for $ 17 (600 baht), to Patong - for $ 11 (400 baht).
For the route Kamala - Airport with you will take 17 $ (600 baht). 
Beach Description
When we were going to the beach of Kamala, I did not read the reviews about it, because They wanted to make their own opinions. And this is what it happened: the beach is very clean, the sand is smaller and cleaner than on the famous Patong beach, brighter, nice for the legs. 
The entrance to the sea is quite gentle, the bottom is clean, there are no stones, seashells and debris, the small depth is stretched for a long time, which is comfortable for relaxing with children, as well as for those who are afraid of big waves or does not like deep.
During the waves, water becomes muddy from the sand, but by itself she is clean. Our video review of Kamala Beach can be viewed below.
The beach strip is quite long, about 2 km long and at the same time not too narrow (up to 30 meters), so you will be spacious. Palm trees grow along the beach. On the beach everything is quite pure and a little, unlike the most popular Kati and, even more so Patong.
From tourists here are mostly resting foreigners, we practically did not see Russians, although there was the most peak of the tourist season in Thailand. So for someone, this factor will become key when choosing a beach for recreation.
Tides and fetches
Daily before noon there is a tide, and after lunch begins the tide. In the evening, the water arrives again. Consider this by planning your bathing on the Kamala beach.
Camala Beach Infrastructure on Phuket, Our Reviews
If you arrived at the Kamala Beach beach on a bike or a rented car, parking is equipped here, so you will leave your vehicle.
When we were here in the winter in early 2014, the sun beds were still allowed, then by the end of the year, after the military coup in Thailand, the deck chairs on the beaches were banned and forced to remove everything. The military who came to the authorities were guided by the fact that public land should belong to the public, and not private entrepreneurs, and tourists should not pay $ 3 (100 baht) for sun bed. And because of the large cluster of sun beds on the beaches, the sea is not visible at all, the authorities wanted tourists to enjoy the pristine beauty.
After some time, in response to tourist complaints, it was allowed to produce umbrellas that protect from the Sun. But enterprising Thais took advantage of this relaxation and invented a little trick with sun beds. Now they are heated from the sand small heaps, put on them mattresses, thereby imitating sun loungers. And tourists are convenient, and the way of earning has returned, and in fact the law is not broken, because These are not folding lounge chairs. 
If you do not want to pay for improvised lounge chairs - you can stay at your beach towel brought from the hotel.
On the beach there are tents with a Thai massage.
From other entertainment - banana and water scooter. Catania price $ 42 (1500 baht) in 30 minutes.
The Beach of Kamala Islands Phuket is a small park, in which the local Thais is resting, are engaged in running, there are charging outdoors, simulators are installed, and a small playground is equipped for children, so if desired, you can warm up, and for those who are Having hardly engaged in sports in his homeland - this is a great opportunity not to fall out of the workout mode.
In the park, in 2006, a memorial of flood victims that occurred on December 26, 2004 was established. 
Beach there are small trays with fruits, drinks, boiled corn and Thai pancakes, prices here, of course, still tourist and higher than on the next Patong. For example, boiled corn, which costs $ 0.6-0.85 (20-30 Thai baht), it costs 1.4 $ (50 baht), mango on the beach Karon 2.5 $ (90 bah) / kg, here $ 3.1 (110 baht). Coconet costs 1.7 $ (60 baht), and pancakes instead of the usual $ 0.85 (30 baht) - already $ 1.1 (40 BAT).
Numerous souvenirs and other tourist attributes are also sold. There are in Kamal and massage salons, located usually on the first floors of residential buildings on the streets of the district.
In the Kamala area there is even a post office, from where you can send a postcard or package to your family and friends. You can find mail on the Red Sign: Kamala Counter Service Post. There are no queues here, so sending a postcard to the homeland did not take a lot of time.
You can find on Kamala Beach and exchangers, not much, as in more popular beaches (so better change there), but still you have the opportunity to exchange money.
Kamala is a quiet area where it lives mainly local population.
If, for example, on Patong beaches, and Karon, all housing is mostly rented for rent, and Thais drive only to work, then, on the contrary, they live mostly local. Among them are Muslims. They are not so much as in the neighboring area of \u200b\u200bSurin, but nevertheless you can easily meet a woman in the hijab on the streets of Camala, and do not be surprised if she is on the motorbike.
By the way, just before the neighboring Surin from Kamala Beach can be reached on foot. True, it is quite dangerous, because You need to go along the route with the complete absence of sidewalks. But we were on the car, so I did not walk and risks.
Also from the beach of Kamala is not far to the famous Phuket show - Phuket Fantasea. This is a bright costume national idea of \u200b\u200bPrince Kamal, accompanied by acrobatic tricks, illusionists and speech of elephants. 
Accommodation on the beach of Kamala
On Camala Beach, only about 70 hotels, which is why it is not overloaded by resting.
In the northern part of the beach, there are no hotels, as well as there is no passage, you can only get here on foot.
Compared to the beaches in the north, hotels in Kamala Beach on Phuket and apartments (you can even find up to $ 280 equivalent to 10,000 bahaam per month) on Kamal stand relatively inexpensive.
The average hotels on Kamala Beach are resorts located on the hills surrounding the beach, or at a sufficient distance from the beach line. Such hotels suggest calm family holidaysAnd the average prices for accommodation in them hold at the level of $ 100 per day and above.
Here you can not find hotels with your beach, because All beaches on Phuket public. And the hotel, from which you can quickly get to the sea, leaving the room immediately in a bathing suit - Kamala Beach Resort.He is here one such, the cost of living begins from $ 200 per day.
One of the most popular hotels - KAMALA RESORT. & SPA 4 *. It is located on the road at the very outskirts of the beach of Kamala Island Phuket from Patong Beach, 15 minutes walk, but it is believed that he has enough good location In relation to shops and the market, as well as excellent room with the kitchen. The hotel is made of 4 buildings, it is convenient enough, there is free parking for cars and for bikes. There are restaurants, massage salon, gym. The cost of the room, for example, in high season in February - $ 75 (2700 baht) per day.
Of the 3 * Pretty famous Hotel Sungthong Kamala Beach 3 *.
At the end of the beach, Novotel 4 * is located on the hill, the cost of stay in which starts from $ 85 (3000 baht). The beach site belonging to this hotel is considered the most calm, there are almost never waves here. Its often choose families with children, because Here is finely fine. 
Not far from the show fantasy are located quite good hotelsFor example, Moom - Tuk, Dengs Kamala Beach Resort
One of the budget hotels in The Mareeya Place 2 *.
As an option, you can rent an apartment in a condominium in 600-800 meters from the beach, for example, in Kamala Regent
In such houses there is a common sports room, swimming pool and recreation areas. Prices from $ 55 (1950 BAT / day.
From the most affordable proximity to the sea, you can highlight: Kamala Beachfront Apartment, Grace Resort, Coconut Garden. You can book on Bucking -, but you can check if there is no more profitable price somewhere.
Where to eat, prices
In addition to the aforementioned trays or Makashnits, from which you can buy tangerines, mango, pineapples, little bananas, mangostes, dragon fruit, coconuts, and many-many other fruits and cocktails, you can fully eat in local restaurants. In one of these institutions at the entrance to the beach, we stopped - this is an open cafe, where the tables are installed under the canopy, there are many local. Food prepared pretty quickly, and I liked it! Tom-yam soup costs $ 4.2 (150 baht). 
The cafe can also be found at the end of the beach of Kamala, if you go to the side of Surin, where the sand strip becomes completely narrow.
If you like to walk around the local shops and buy products to prepare yourself, then for you a beautiful find on the Kamala beach there will be a small supermarket Big C. This is the only full-fledged supermarket in the beach area of \u200b\u200bPhuket, all other super- and hypermarkets are located in the Phuket area Town. And on the rest of the beaches, tourists are only content with standard minimaries 7/11 (there is also on Kamal) and Famaly Mart. In Big C you will find fruits and vegetables, and dairy products, as well as many non-food products. Another minimarket on the Kamala beach is Tesco Lotus.
Buy local food can also be on the market. It can be found if you go down the hotel Kamala Resort & Spa. 
The market is more oriented on the local, unlike markets on Cate or County, where everything is just for tourists. Here you will not find any English inscriptions, you will have to choose only to the eye. But you can be sure if the locals here buy food, it means that you can be calm about her freshness.
Prices on the market are good, for example, Longan costs $ 0.85-1.1 (30-40 baht) per kilogram, for 3 bright small pineapples are asked $ 1.1 (40 baht), Petahaya (dragon fruit) - 2.2 $ (80 baht) per kilogram, cherry tomatoes - $ 2.8 (100 baht) / kg.
Also on the market there are clothes and cosmetics, oriented no longer by local residents. It works in markets on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
***
The Kamala Beach beach area we really liked. Here quiet, calm, everything you need for a comfortable stay. But this beach is definitely not suitable for those who are looking for active rest, night parties - you need to go after all this to nearby Patong. Here everything is for Relax. And it is also believed that on this beach one of the most beautiful Suns of Phuket. Be sure to check it yourself;) In order not to be disappointed, plan to visit the beach of Kamala Phuket in December-February - to the highest and calm in terms of waves season and learn feedback.
This resort area occupies a special place. Former Muslim fishing village suddenly turned out to be very popular with tourists. And all because on the crowded island it was the beach "Kamala" (Phuket), it turned out to be more suitable for a relaxed rest, as if somewhere on Samui or to Pangan. He especially attracts travelers who arrived not for the sake nightlife And the dubious pleasures of A la Pattaya. It is located in the western part of the island, in the north of the noisy Patong. Gorgeous hotels here are not so much, mostly "Troika" and "Four". But let's tell about everything in order.
How to get to the kamaly
Arriving on Phuket by plane of international or you transplancing taxi or mini bus. The latter will arrive two times cheaper - about four hundredth bat. Even more suitable to get to the capital of the island by bus, and from there already another flight to the beach "Kamala". Phuket Town is a good transport node associated with almost any corner of the island. The only problem is that buses go quite rarely, somewhere in an hour.
