The Palms, Kamala Beach - SHA Extra Plus

The Palms brings a relaxed resort vibe to Kamala’s most coveted stretch. This 4-star property earned an excellent 9.1 location score for good reason — you’re in the sweet spot of Kamala Beach’s best-rated area, where the pace feels unhurried compared to Phuket’s busier beaches, yet everything you need stays within easy reach.

What makes The Palms stand out are those Apartment with Pool Access rooms — imagine stepping directly from your patio into the water. Beyond the standard doubles, you’ll find Apartment with Pool View options and Double Rooms with Balconies, giving you genuine choice in how you want to experience the property. The free private parking is a real asset here, something many Phuket properties charge extra for. Their fitness centre adds another practical touch for guests wanting to maintain routines.

Insider Tip: Book the Apartment with Pool Access if available — direct pool entry from your room is rare at this price point and transforms your entire stay experience.

Guest reviews reflect solid 4-star standards: 8.1/10 overall on Booking.com, with staff scoring particularly well at 8.4/10. Starting at $66/night, this suits travelers wanting resort amenities without 5-star prices. Families appreciate the apartment-style options and pool access, while couples enjoy the quieter Kamala setting. The tradeoff? You’re not beachfront, so factor in a short walk to reach Hat Kamala’s sand.

Kamala’s relaxed atmosphere keeps prices reasonable compared to Patong or Kata. Hat Kamala beach lies just minutes away, while Kalim Beach offers a quieter alternative nearby. The location works well for exploring inland attractions like Kathu Waterfall when you need a break from beach time.
