What is Kamala like to live in?

Kamala is a quiet beach, popular with families. Kamala Beach is about 2 km long and wide, with soft pale sand, casuarinas and coconut trees. In the high season the sea is very shallow and clear. The northern and central parts are the most attractive, and fishing boats park at the south end.

From November to April the swimming is calm. From May to October, in the southwest monsoon, there are rough waves and rip currents, so stay out of the water when red flags are up.

Many small restaurants and bars line a 1 km strip of the beach. Smile Bar is a simple beachfront restaurant with grilled chicken, sticky rice and som tam. Pine Beach Bar sits at the wide northern end, below the InterContinental, and Café Del Mar is a beach club. Jaras, at InterContinental Phuket Resort, serves contemporary Thai food as a seasonal tasting menu and is in the MICHELIN Guide.

Phuket Fantasea, a cultural theme park and stage show, has been in Kamala for more than two decades and opens in the evenings. Carnival Magic, next door and from the same family, is an evening show too.

Kamala has two parts: the original Muslim village inland and the tourist part along the beach. A lane one block back has small restaurants, bars, massage shops, tailors and convenience stores, and the four-lane road behind it has supermarkets. Rayee Beach is just south, below the Hyatt Regency Phuket. Patong Beach is 10 km away and Phuket Town 22 km. For schools, see Phuket international schools and family districts guide.

What should I check before buying in Kamala?

1. Freehold or leasehold. Most units here are leasehold, and the same building can offer both, as at Grand Kamala Falls. See Freehold vs leasehold property in Thailand — what's the difference and which to choose and Foreign property ownership in Thailand — what you can and cannot own.
2. Freehold condo for a foreigner. Check the foreign quota and the money transfer: The 49% foreign quota in Thai condos — how it actually works, FET — the bank paper that proves your condo money came from abroad.
3. Common-area fees and building rules. See Property management fees in Phuket — what to expect for short-term and long-term rental.
4. Short-term letting. See Short-term rental in Thailand — Hotel Act 2004 reality and Phuket enforcement.
