InterContinental Phuket Resort - Thailand

Package price from, per person sharing

Kamala gives a Phuket holiday a more relaxed west-coast base while keeping the rest of the island within easy reach. This Thailand holiday package works well for travellers who want beach time without giving up restaurants, excursions and cultural sightseeing. Flights from South Africa, transfers, accommodation and selected meals can be combined, leaving guests free to divide their time between the Andaman coast, Phuket’s inland attractions and quieter resort days.

Property Overview

InterContinental Phuket Resort is a 221-room beachfront resort spread between Kamala Beach and a forested hillside, with an underground passage linking its beachside and mountainside areas. Its design draws heavily on Thai mythology and contemporary interpretations of traditional architecture, giving the property a stronger sense of place than many large international resorts. Five outdoor pools, extensive gardens, a dedicated kids club, premium Club facilities and a substantial collection of restaurants create a full resort experience for couples and families.

How far is the nearest beach?

The resort sits directly on Kamala Beach, with its beachside facilities opening onto the sand and Andaman Sea. Guests can move between the beach, beachfront pool areas and dining venues without leaving the property, while the quieter northern end of Kamala gives the setting a more secluded feel than busier Phuket beaches. Swimming conditions vary seasonally, but the five resort pools provide alternatives throughout the day. Beach walks and sunset time are easy to build into a stay.

Distance from Airport

Phuket International Airport (HKT) is approximately 24 kilometres from the resort. The road transfer to Kamala normally takes around 45 minutes, although journey times can increase with Phuket traffic. No boat or domestic connection is required, making arrival relatively straightforward after the international journey from South Africa. The resort’s west-coast location also keeps Patong, Phuket Old Town and other island attractions accessible by road for guests planning days away from Kamala.

Rooms

Accommodation ranges from 41–43 square metre Classic Rooms through larger Premium Rooms, Beachside Suites and villas. Even the base categories provide balconies or terraces, contemporary interiors and well-finished bathrooms, while higher categories add lagoon settings, beachfront positions or substantially more space. Private Pool Villas extend from 210 to 360 square metres and cater to couples as well as larger parties. Club InterContinental categories add access to a beachfront lounge and personalised butler and concierge services.

Food & Drink

Dining is one of the resort’s strongest features, with seven current outlets spanning Southern Thai, Japanese, international and more experimental cuisine. Jaras focuses on refined Southern Thai cooking, Tengoku centres on Japanese teppanyaki, while Pinto provides a broader all-day option. hom develops tasting menus around local ingredients and fermentation, and the beachfront venues add more relaxed dining and drinks beside the sea. Twenty-four-hour in-room dining gives guests another option beyond the restaurant programme.

Experiences & Activities

Days can be as active or relaxed as guests choose, with five pools, tennis, fitness facilities and direct beach access forming the core leisure offer. The resort’s Princess 78 yacht adds a high-end option for private sea excursions around Phuket and the Andaman coast. Planet Trekkers provides a dedicated programme for younger guests, while the property’s art passage and design narrative introduce elements of Phuket history and Thai mythology. Wider island excursions can also be arranged through the concierge.

SPA & Wellness

Sati Spa is a substantial wellness facility rather than a small treatment area, with hydrotherapy, steam facilities and an extensive treatment menu rooted in Thai and wider Asian traditions. Current programmes combine treatments with activities such as yoga, Tai Chi, beach walks and Muay Thai, while signature therapies include Thai massage, Ayurvedic treatments and mindfulness-focused rituals. A fully equipped fitness centre supports more active routines. The overall wellness offer is broad enough to form a meaningful part of the stay rather than an occasional add-on.
