Kalima Resort & Spa

4.7(4,782 reviews)

Come here to sit by a pool with a view, not to wander. The resort climbs the hill on Phabaramee Road, and the infinity pool and rooftop bar look out over Patong in a way that makes leaving feel like effort. There's a spa, a gym with daily yoga classes, an outdoor pool and an artificial beach. The restaurant earns its own following, with the desserts getting particular attention and the views doing no harm either. If you're staying more than a night or two, take the all-inclusive breakfast option.

Service is the thing guests write home about. Housekeeping and the front desk get named individually in review after review, towel animals included, and rooms are kept immaculate. Two caveats. Reviewers repeatedly flag block 5 as the weak link, so ask to be placed elsewhere. And room service occasionally forgets an item, though a call to reception sorts it.

Reviews from Google

Our stay at Kalima Resort & Spa Phuket has been truly outstanding. The Front Desk and Reception team set the tone for a flawless experience. Their warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail are exceptional. A special thank you to Duty Manager Abner and his team for their graceful leadership and seamless service — they truly make every guest feel valued and cared for. The housekeeping team is equally impressive. Our room is impeccably clean every day, beautifully arranged, and enhanced with thoughtful decorative surprises that add a special touch to our stay. Their consistency and dedication reflect true five-star hospitality. Kalima Resort & Spa Phuket delivers not only breathtaking views, but service excellence at every level. Thank you!

Resort has all the amenities one could ask for when it comes to a relaxing getaway! - Purchase the all inclusive breakfast option! Food is great quality! - All service workers are kind! - I recommend taking the free yoga class with Min and Tony! - Rooftop bar and pool are wonderful to relax it. They’re well maintained! - The only critique is that room service will sometimes miss items that require replacement but they’ll get it for your right away if you call the front desk

Mixed review. Staff are lovely, restaurant very good with great views. Lovely infinity pool with great views. Gym is good with yoga classes available daily. Location is not good, on a busy dual carriageway with no walking available. Several kilometres from the beaches. Rooms are good except block 5, I would suggest people should not accept rooms in block 5.

Compare OTAs and Direct Rates

Always check the hotel's own website after finding a rate on Agoda or Booking.com. Many Thai properties offer a best-rate guarantee or throw in perks like free breakfast when you book direct.

Pool Villa Doesn't Mean Expensive

Private pool villas in Krabi, Hua Hin, and Chiang Mai start around 2,500–4,000 THB/night — a fraction of Bali or Maldives prices. Search specifically for 'pool villa' to surface hidden gems.
