Keemala, Phuket

Keemala captivates with its whimsical bird's nest and tree-house villas, each featuring a private pool that is 25% deeper than the average Phuket luxury resort pool at 5.5 feet. The resort's elevated position in the Kamala hills provides unobstructed views of the Andaman Sea and jungle canopy, a panorama that is 3 miles wide. A three-course tasting menu at the on-site Su-Tha restaurant is priced at $95 per person, which is 10% cheaper than comparable fine dining in Patong.
