KEEMALA WONDERLAND
DESIGN CONCEPT:
The concept of Keemala is to offer experiences to guests that are ‘Beyond Enchanting’ and is very
different to other resorts in Phuket in both style and ethos. Keemala harnesses the history of fictitious
ancient Phuket settlers and incorporates the story of four different clans within the resort. The
architecture of the four different villa types reflects the skills and way of life of each of the groups.
Keemala and its grounds are designed as an expansion of the surrounding landscape, making use of
natural features such as mature trees, streams and waterfalls and integrating these into the overall
design and creating a wonderland for guests to enjoy. Keemala is the perfect place for honeymooners,
couples and guests wishing to get away from it all.
VILLAS (All with private pools):
CLAY POOL COTTAGES
The 16 ‘Clay Pool Cottages’ reflect the earthiness of the ‘Pa-ta-pea’ clan who believed in a strong
connection to the earth and were leaders in agriculture at the time.
TENT POOL VILLAS
The ‘Khon-Jorn’ was a tribe of wanderers who excelled in hunting and trading, and inspired the design
of the seven Tent Pool Villas. Their nomadic lifestyle is exhibited in the tent-like structures.
TREE POOL HOUSES
The seven ‘ Tree Pool Houses ‘are built to represent the ‘We-ha’ people who worshipped the universe
and chose to live suspended from the trees to be nearer to the sky.
BIRD’S NEST POOL VILLAS
The ‘Rung-Nok’ community inspired the design of the eight ‘Bird’s Nest Pool Villas’. This group
enjoyed an opulent way of life compared to other clans. Thus the interwoven design of their homes was
to aid protection and privacy.
BIRD’S NEST POOL VILLA BED
FACILITIES:
Communal areas including the lobby, pool, restaurant and spa are airy and created to offer views of
lush forest and the sounds of nature. Throughout the resort there are plenty of outdoor spaces for
guests to pause, breathe and reflect. Keemala provides areas designed for activities including
destination dining, private parties, cycling, jogging, walking, meditation, yoga and massage therapies
(away from the designated spa areas).
KEEMALA SPA
PHILOSOPHY:
Keemala is a sanctuary for those who wish to rebalance, rejuvenate and relax. Keemala embraces

dish is authentic in both presentation and flavour. Additional physical activities including yoga,
meditation, fitness training and spa treatments are all included in the ‘wellness’ concept as well as a
visiting practitioner retreat programme to be announced in due course.

and an appreciation for nature and relaxation.

Our organic ‘Enchanted Garden’ is producing so many varieties of herbs and vegetables that we’re
currently harvesting almost half of our daily kitchen needs fresh daily right from our very own garden!
We’re also able to expand our cooking class activities to include traditional curry making and
traditional coconut milk making classes, newly introduced in 2019.
In our quest for artisanal partnerships in various aspects of guest experiences, we’reexcited to introduce
a new addition to our wine offerings, organic ‘Golden Wine’ from Florette, Italy.
From June onward, we’re raising our commitment to sustainability with sustainable seafoods.
Our Executive Chef has visited local markets and fishing communities in search of reliable,
like-minded suppliers, ensuring that fish is line caught within 10-20 Km from Phuket only.
Guests may expect to see such varieties as snappers, pomfrets, and monk fish on the menu, with seasonal availability.
Also on our path toward sustainability, our Executive Retreats are more mindful than ever with ‘Zero Waste’ meetings.
Guests can expect to see no plastic bottles and packaging, and food waste is managed with onsite composting for our garden, for example.
We will also be introducing our ‘Food for Thought’ coffee breaks that are inventive, healthy and fun for guests to experience authentic Keemala.
Going back to the roots of our Phuket culture, Keemala has added a special ‘Samrab Phuket’ set menu featuring traditional Phuket dishes such as Moo Hong (stewed pork belly) and Gaeng-Pu Mee-Hoon (rice noodles with crab curry). A perfect meal for two. Available for lunch or dinner, reservations required.
