Andara Resort & Villas sits on a hillside above Kamala on Phuket’s west coast, a setting that gives many accommodations uninterrupted views across the Andaman Sea. Suites are unusually large, while private villas can include multiple bedrooms, full kitchens, staff areas and substantial infinity pools. That residential scale makes Andara especially appealing to families and groups who want privacy without giving up the services of a luxury resort.

High above Kamala on Phuket’s Millionaires’ Mile, Andara centers on enormous suites and villas, private pools and broad Andaman Sea views rather than a conventional resort layout.
