Radisson Resort & Suites

The Radisson Resort & Suites brings international hotel standards to Kamala, one of Phuket’s more relaxed beach towns. This resort sits in a neighborhood that strikes a nice balance — close enough to the action but removed from the chaos of Patong. You can walk to local restaurants and convenience stores, while the main beach strip remains easily accessible for those sunset dinner plans.

What makes this Radisson stand out is its positioning as a full-service resort in an area dominated by smaller boutique properties and guesthouses. The property offers the reliability and amenities you’d expect from the Radisson brand — think consistent housekeeping, 24-hour front desk, and English-speaking staff who can actually help with tour bookings. The suite options give families and longer-stay guests proper living space, something harder to find in Kamala’s accommodation mix.

This resort works well for travelers who want resort conveniences without paying Patong prices. Families particularly appreciate the space and services, while couples enjoy having options beyond the typical Kamala guesthouse experience. The trade-off is that you’re not getting the intimate, locally-run charm that defines much of the area. Think comfortable and predictable rather than authentically Thai.

Insider Tip: Kamala’s dining scene is more limited than busier beach towns, so having a resort with reliable food service becomes more valuable here. The local beachfront restaurants are great, but it’s nice knowing you have backup options on-property.

The pricing typically falls in the mid-range for Kamala, offering good value for the brand recognition and amenities. Hat Kamala beach is your primary draw, while Kalim Beach provides a quieter alternative for morning walks. Day trips to Kathu Waterfall give you an easy nature escape when you need a break from the sand.
