Location & what to see
Kamala is a village on Phuket with a sandy beach, and Baan Kamala Backpacker is 300 m from Kamala Beach. The village has a local feel, with a night market, a mosque and a seafood and fruit market close by, so it is a different setting from the busier beach areas of the island. The beach itself is a sandy stretch in the village, and the hostel's garden and terrace sit a short distance from the sea.
Phuket FantaSea, the cultural theme park with an evening show, is 900 m away. Patong Beach, the island's best-known beach area with the nightlife of Bangla Road, is 4.9 km away, and the Big Buddha on its hilltop is 13.9 km away. Wat Chalong, the island's best-known temple, is also worth a visit. Freedom Beach and Karon Beach are also on the island, further from the village.
A quiet morning on Kamala Beach can be followed by a visit to Phuket FantaSea in the evening, or a trip to Patong for its nightlife. Waterfalls such as the Bang Wan Waterfall are also in the area, so there is more to do beyond the beach. Phuket International Airport is 18.2 km away, and the hostel offers an airport transfer.
