Sleep, eat, indulge, explore and rejuvenate at our homely resort in our naturally private setting, along millionaire’s mile located south west of the treasured island of Phuket. Through using the traditional and authentic craftsmanship of Khun Veerasak, this wonderful promontory paradise has been converted into a magnificent hotel consisting of 42 rooms and villas sprawling the hillside down to the private rustic beach. All the rooms and villas are designed with the concept of ‘Ayara’, corresponding with the nature of ‘elephants’ that are gentle and kind and of course, need their space to rest. They are decorated contemporarily and traditionally, from stylish black tiles to luxuriously marbled bathroom floors, to wooden and earthly tones. Our restaurant maintains quality local ingredients with delightful homemade recipes as well as including a few of the normal favorites from around Thailand and the rest of the world. Relax at our spa, or enjoy a game of pickleball with your family and friends, surrounded by lush and greenery. Whether young and fresh or mature and experienced, Ayara Kamala provides you with our local founded atmosphere whilst our international touches amaze and surprise combining on a personal level a unique harmony, nowhere else found. Our team strives to make sure you obtain that unique warmth in this west coast paradise.

Shahen S wrote a review Mar 2023
Mumbai, India4 contributions2 helpful votes
The property was really nice, great views of the sea from the spacious rooms. The staff were extremely friendly, helpful and a joy to deal with. The front desk was more than happy to help us with getting taxis, booking tours etc Yes the hotel is a little out of the way but if you want a nice relaxing holiday then this works well. Additionally the hotel provides a shuttle service to the nearby beach centre within a certain period at no extra cost. Breakfast was nice, with a decent spread according to us. The lunch and dinner a la carte menu seemed a little overpriced and we didn't think the food was anything great. We'd strongly consider staying here again if we went back to Phuket.

This is a wonderful place to stay a couple of quiet days in kamala. The villa offers a private pool optimized for a wonderful sunset view. The staff, especially Mr Park, goes all the way out to ensure our comfort and request are met. Would love to visit again. The only improvement would be the quality of food at the resort restaurant, which is sub par forthe price being charged and look forward to a better dining experience in our next visit!

Received an excellent experience staying at "Ayara Kamala Resort" with the perfect location, the hotel is clean and provides great hospitality.The hotel staffs are very helpful; Khun Kai, the admin reservation is so kind and absolutely trustworthy and Khun Tammy at the reception, she is extremely polite, professional and knowledgeable. She willing to guide us throughout our stay. The hotel provides us almost every facilities from great rooms to relaxation environment, Spa, pool area etc. The only area of improvement is Dinner restaurant staffs. They are lack of knowledge, food are not attractive. Overall experience was awesome.I would recommend this hotel to every couple and families . You won't regret just be here 😉

We had a last minute flight cancellation and had to find a hotel for the night. Fortunately this property had one of their rooms with swim up pool available and it was absolutely amazing. The setting is serene and breathtaking. It’s quiet and undisturbed with amazing views. The rooms are a bit dated and worn but are good value compared to some partnering properties. The wifi is excellent and we had free mini bar during our stay which we appreciated. the villas looked quite beautiful as well but we didn’t see inside any. The only downside of the stay was that room service was very slow. We ordered dinner one night and waited multiple hours for it as it was a busy night. The upstairs pool is nice however there are no indoor showers to use and sometimes towels hard to

We returned to the Ayara Kamala last month (Dec 2022) having last stayed there three years earlier (return delayed by COVID). Despite a 3-year absence, the staff remembered us and had even put us into the same room (one of the ones adjoining the infinity pool) we'd had on our previous visit. The place was as beautiful as ever, the staff incredibly helpful and the service superb. One thing I haven't seen mentioned in other reviews, though, is that besides their standard menus they also have a *superb* vegan menu; it's easily possible to stay there for well over a week and have a different vegan dinner every night - though there's also a strong temptation to return to dishes already tried simply because they're so excellent. The town is around three and a half Km away, and

We originally booked the Grand Thai with Spa Bath and the room feels very comfortable, homey with a huge bathroom and a terrace views of the resort's lush greenery and Andaman sea. The interior is of the Thai styled decor which is exactly what we were looking for! On the first night, we found that the lights lighting up the staircase to our room was not functional and so near pitch black when on-route to the room at night. In the early hours of the night, we were woken up to the doorbell ringing. The staff told us that it was a gecko/lizard that pressed the doorbell. The resort had the light fixed and the doorbell replaced and even offered to upgrade us for the inconvenience caused. The resort itself is beautifully designed and the restaurant offers amazing views of the

We had an excellent stay at Ayara Kamala Resort. The place exceeded our expectations right from the beginning. Every small detail was immaculately planned out to provide a romantic and paradise-like getaway. The staff was more like a family filled with love and pride for their craft. We got picked up from the airport. The driver greeted us with water and a cold aromatic fresh towel. When we got to the resort, we were seated down with a chilled welcome drink. The management staff came out to greet us. A buggy then took us to our grand pool suite. The suite was huge! There were three sections - the entertainment building, the outdoor pool area, then a separate building for the bedroom and bathroom. The high wooden ceilings and Thai style decor blended their culture with luxury
