Travel Guide: Great View 81sqm Top Floor Apartment, Kamala Beach

Introduction

Tucked away on Phuket’s quieter northwest coast, Kamala Beach offers a relaxed alternative to the bustle of Patong just 15 minutes down the road. For travelers craving space, privacy, and panoramic vistas over the Andaman coastline and surrounding hills, Great View in 81sqm Top Floor Space checks every box. This self-catering studio-apartment blends home comfort with resort-style perks, making it ideal for couples, small families, or digital nomads looking for a long-term Phuket base.

Hotel Overview

Located at 59/56 Moo 5, Kamala, Kathu, 83150, this top-floor accommodation lives up to its name, with sweeping views of the nearby hills, tropical gardens, and distant lake from its private furnished balcony and terrace. Spanning 81 square meters, it feels far more spacious than typical Phuket hotel rooms, with a separate living area with a sofa and dining space, a full kitchen, and a private bedroom. The fully equipped simple kitchen includes a stovetop, refrigerator, microwave, toaster, electric kettle, kitchenware, and a washing machine, perfect for preparing light meals or doing laundry during extended stays. On-site facilities cater to every need: free WiFi covers the entire property, free on-site public parking is available without reservation for guests driving, and the year-round outdoor pool is open to guests of all ages for a refreshing dip after a day at the beach. Additional perks include a sauna for post-hike relaxation, daily housekeeping available for an extra fee, air conditioning, soundproofed rooms, a private shower bathroom with a hairdryer, a flat-screen TV with satellite and cable channels, a safe for valuables, and staff that speak both English and Thai to assist with any queries. Note that the top floor is accessible only by stairs, so guests with limited mobility should plan accordingly.

Local Attractions

Just a 10-minute walk from the apartment, Kamala Beach is a soft, crescent-shaped stretch of sand far less crowded than Patong, with calm waters ideal for swimming and casual beach shacks serving fresh grilled seafood and cold Singha beer at sunset. For culture lovers, Phuket FantaSea is 5 minutes away by taxi, a world-famous Thai cultural theme park with a stunning nightly show, traditional market stalls, and a sprawling buffet that’s perfect for a family-friendly night out. Inland 15 minutes from the apartment, Wat Suwan Khiri Wong is a hillside temple dotted with colorful Buddhist sculptures, offering panoramic views over the entire Kamala valley and a quiet, spiritual escape from the coast.

Travel Tips

Arrange airport transfer in advance from Phuket International Airport, which is a 45-minute drive away. Since daily cleaning is available for an extra fee, confirm add-on services at check-in if you want daily housekeeping. For the best views, enjoy your morning coffee on the balcony around 7 a.m., when the hills are misty and the sea breeze is cool. Rent a scooter or car for easy exploration of nearby Surin and Bang Tao beaches, which are 10 minutes up the coast. Always carry cash for local beach shacks and small shops, as many don’t accept cards.
