Mala Restaurant

Phuket


The health-focused restaurant at the ecofriendly, jungle-wrapped Keemala resort has an enormous menu of artfully presented Thai, Indian and international cooking, with ingredients sourced directly from its own gardens. Wood-carved walls, faux-faded mirrors and an elevated tree-house-ish setting create an elegant safari vibe. Charming service, good wines and imaginative dishes such as spinach-avocado-and-cashew-cream salad make it worth the 2km trip south from Kamala.

This is a brilliant spot for vegetarians, vegans, coeliacs and those with other dietary requirements; the gluten-free cheesecake is a delight.
