Rawai is located at the southern tip of Phuket Island.
Rawai is the place where it feels good to live !
Once you pass the Chalong roundabout, you enter a haven of peace and a spirit of calm, serenity and freedom deeply arise inside of you. Heavy traffic and tourist frenzy of the rest of the island give way to beautiful scenery, wonderful beaches and stunning panoramic views of the Andaman Sea.
Rawai is a small residential village where traditional Thai houses full of charm mix with luxury villas and upscale hotels. It has the advantage of being a quiet place yet close to all the points of interest in Phuket.
To spend your vacations, you can easily find houses for rent, even for short stays, this is nicer than a hotel and it costs sometimes even cheaper. This is really the best option to stay in Rawai.
You can find many supermarkets, or other 7eleven and Family Mart, mostly open 24h/24, and many traditional Thai markets too with stalls of fruits, vegetables, meats, fish, kebabs, ready meals but also clothing, shoes and other accessories.
You will find everything you need in Rawai, small businesses of all types, pharmacies, doctors, clinics, massage parlor, hairdressers, bakeries and many more.
Rawai also offers a wide choice of excellent restaurants offering Thai dishes, but also French, Italian and Western food in general.
After dinner, go to party in one of the many bars where friendly and festive atmosphere is guaranteed !
Do not miss either, the fisherman village of Rawai (located on the left after the Viset Road at the beginning of Rawai Beach) where stalls of fish, shrimp, squid, lobster and other freshly caught seafood are presented. You can choose your fish and eat it by having it cooked according to your taste in a restaurant just across ... a treat !
Rawai Beach offers a magnificent view of the islands of Bon Island (Koh Bon), Coral Island (Koh Hei) and Lone Island (Koh Lon). The many Long Tails and Speed Boats lined up to offer you to discover the surrounding islands enhance the beauty and charm of the place. Rawai Beach offers a multitude of small traditional thai restaurants with great sea view and with your feet in the sand... It is undoubtedly one of the best places to have lunch, dinner, a drink or simply walk by the sea where the air is cooler...
Promthep Cape forms the southern tip of Phuket and falls into the sea offering a unique view of the gorgeous colors and coral reefs of the Andaman Sea. From here, you can admire the most beautiful sunset in Thailand and certainly one of the most beautiful in the world.
Naiharn Beach is located at the southern end of Phuket in a small bay surrounded by mountains with lush vegetation.
This is certainly one of the most beautiful beach of Phuket and no doubt the most enjoyable.
Quiet and clean, this white sand beach has managed to preserve excessive urbanization.
You will find many small restaurants along the sea, very nice for lunch.
Rawai / Naiharn is the perfect place to settle in Phuket or to spend romantic holidaysin couple or with your family in a heavenly place.

Rawai beach is rather narrow and silted. It is therefore not suitable for swimming, but instead it offers a magnificent view of the islands of Bon Island, Coral Island and Lone Island.
The many Long Tails and Speed Boats lined up to offer you to discover the islands enhance undeniably the beauty of the site. It also gets its charm to the many small restaurants that border the beach and it feels good to walk or get some fresh air in the shade of casuarinas...
