David de Brito is the newest addition to the executive level management of the resort set within the lush woodlands of Kamala, Phuket.

Due to open its doors to guests in the latter part of 2015, Keemala is busy appointing the most talented management to ensure its brand message of ‘Beyond Enchanting’ is delivered seamlessly to its guests.

Malaysian national, David de Brito is an experienced hotelier with his most recent role of Director of Food & Beverage for Cheval Blanc Randheli by Louis Vuitton in the Maldives.
