Quiet and relaxed,
Kamala beach is perfect for those looking for a relaxed and
laid back holiday.
Kamala is only a few minutes drive from the bustle of Patong
and a great place for those wanting a quiet and relaxing holiday.
The southern end of this beautiful bay has a coral reef just
a few metres offshore. All you need are fins and a snorkel
to enjoy the underwater beauty. Even more magnificent scenery
awaits you if you are a scuba diver. Kamala is not over-developed
yet, although there are some guesthouses and a few upmarket
resorts.
The village of Ban Kamala also has everything you need so
there is no need to go anywhere else if you don't want to.
There is a good selection of Thai restaurants, noodle shops
and foreign restaurants. The villagers are mostly ethnic Malay
and there are some good local restaurants serving tasty Muslim
food. Some small bars and seafood restaurants line the beach
here, giving the opportunity for refreshment.
The middle part of Kamala Bay is dominated by a village with
small resorts dotted along the beach. It is a popular community
for longer-term visitors to the island. The fishing village
atmosphere remains with fishermen casting their nets and the
occasional water buffalo roaming the beach unattended.
