Culture & History
Set in the ancient and indigenous Phuket jungle, Keemala takes an imaginative and spellbinding spin on Thai culture and ultimately connects this to indulgent luxury. With distinctive accommodation each inspired by fictitious ancient Phuket clans, and each suite interlinked with verdant forest, trickling streams and flowing waterfalls, Keemala harnesses the power of its surroundings.
As an extension of this natural connection, the resort experiences are centred around the offerings of the rainforest. From the spa treatments and programmes that use forgone techniques and natural ingredients to the organic and locally grown gastronomy.
Spa Breaks
Tranquillity resides at Keemala, where the natural serenity of the rainforest is complemented by earthy decadence. This sublime pairing comes to fruition at the Mala Spa, where eight thatched treatment pods form a small village amongst the verdancy. You can indulge in relaxing treatments including massages and reiki, or embrace the full Keemala experience by heading to the yoga pavilion and meditation cave.
Serenity seekers will also enjoy the stunning freeform pool and Jacuzzi with sunloungers that is nestled amongst the jungle beside the lagoon, accompanied by the sounds of the rainforest, that will soon wash all your worries away.
