Phuket is about to get seriously deluxe. Keemala opens in October with 38 unique pool villas, amongst the woodlands outside Phuket, overlooking the Andaman sea. Organic forms and sustainability rule the roost here, and you’ll feel at one with nature the moment you check in.
But it’s not just about design. The hotel has collated essentially local experiences for its guests, such as a range of holistic activities, tours of the hotel’s organic and herb gardens, Asia wellness methods and cooking lessons.
Art of living workshops and classes on how to make traditional herb balls balance out the organic spa treatments on offer. Nature walks, meditation, and tai chi in the nearby forest make this a once in a lifetime experience.
The focus on wellness and health is rounded off by the hotel’s gourmet restaurant which specialises in wholesome cuisine with local ingredients, many from onsite.
