Travel Guide: Radisson Resort and Suites Phuket, Kamala Beach

Introduction

Nestled along the quiet golden shore of Kamala Beach on Phuket’s west coast, Radisson Resort and Suites Phuket strikes the perfect balance between peaceful tropical escape and convenient access to Phuket’s most beloved attractions. Far from the crowded bustle of Patong just 15 minutes down the coast, this family-friendly resort offers a welcoming base for couples, solo travelers, and multi-generational groups looking to experience authentic Phuket.

Hotel Overview

Located at 100/10 Moo 3, Kamala Beach, Amphoe Kathu, Phuket, 83150, the resort boasts thoughtful facilities for every type of traveler. Two outdoor pools, open year-round, take center stage: a main adult-friendly pool with water slides, a poolside bar, sun loungers and shaded umbrellas, plus a separate children’s pool with its own slides for little guests to play safely. All rooms come with private balconies (many with pool or ocean views), air conditioning, tea/coffee facilities, flat-screen satellite TVs, minibars, and spacious private bathrooms stocked with toiletries, bathrobes and slippers. Family rooms are available for larger groups, and free Wi-Fi covers the entire property.

On-site amenities include a fully equipped fitness center, free private parking (including accessible spots), airport transfers, and a 24-hour front desk with multilingual English, Thai, and Russian-speaking staff. Dining options include a full daily breakfast, a main restaurant serving international and Thai dishes, a snack bar, and in-room dining. For active guests, the resort offers free bike rental, kayaking, and snorkeling, plus paid activities ranging from Thai cooking classes and local cultural tours to movie nights and guided bike rides. Families will love the free children’s club, indoor and outdoor play areas, and paid babysitting services.

Attractions

Kamala Beach itself is the first unmissable attraction: a three-kilometer stretch of soft golden sand with gentle waves, far less crowded than nearby Patong, perfect for lazy beach days and sunset walks along the shore. Ten minutes from the resort, the Wat Baan Kamala temple offers a quiet look into local Thai Buddhist culture, with ornate golden carvings, panoramic hilltop views of the Andaman Sea, and friendly resident monks who welcome respectful visitors. For a full day of family fun, Phuket FantaSea is just five minutes’ drive from the resort: a sprawling cultural theme park with traditional Thai dance performances, elephant encounters, carnival games, and a spectacular nightly show that brings Thai mythology to life. For adventure seekers, the scenic Sirinat National Park is 20 minutes north, with untouched rainforest trails, hidden coves, and excellent snorkeling and wildlife spotting.

Travel Tips

Book your room well in advance during peak season (November to February) to secure balcony or pool-view rooms at the best rates. The resort offers paid airport transfers, which are far more convenient than hailing a taxi, especially for first-time visitors. Ask the concierge desk to arrange off-site activities like diving, horse riding, or deep-sea fishing for transparent pricing and reliable service. Pack reef-safe sunscreen for snorkeling trips, and bring comfortable walking shoes for hiking in nearby national parks. If you’re traveling with kids, take advantage of the children’s club for a few hours of adult time by the pool — it’s included in your stay. For dinner off-property, walk or bike 10 minutes into central Kamala village for cheap, authentic street food and local seafood restaurants far cheaper than resort dining.
