Travel to Rawai Beach
To the south of Thailand’s Phuket Island lies Rawai Beach. This popular holiday destination is home to a small beach from which the resort takes its name and is a thriving working beach where the visitors can find a plethora of activities, on and off shore. Fishing boats, together with traditional long tail boats and motorboats offer excursions to many of the near-by islands, while specialist trips for snorkelers and scuba divers can be found almost anywhere along the beach. With a charming cosmopolitan community and a rather European feel to it, Rawai Beach holidays are a favourite destination for those looking to experience the Thai culture but with a few familiar home comforts.
We have a great range of accommodation in Rawai Beach. There are ultra-modern luxury complexes offering private hill side bungalows with stunning views of the bay below, and smaller family-run hotels in touching distance of the beach- all of which are perfect for a family or couple looking to be close to the great selection of restaurants, bars and cafes on offer. There is also a great selection of villas and apartments for those who wish to have their own space whilst they relax or explore Phuket Island. Whatever you’re after, Rawai Beach holidays offer a huge choice with something for all tastes and to suit all budgets.

What to see and do in Rawai Beach ?
The popular coastal resort of Rawai Beach is the perfect place to take a boat trip to some of Thailand’s most amazing attractions or to relax and enjoy the dazzling blend of this cosmopolitan and yet traditional destination.
Located on the southern coast of Thailand’s Phuket Island, a holiday to Rawai Beach is a popular choice for tourists looking to soak up the intoxicating blend of traditional Thai culture with a cosmopolitan modern twist. Still somewhat of a working beach, Rawai’s sands play host to traditional fishing boats, making it a great place to try some top seafood dishes.
When it comes to laid back island life, look no further than the beach. Although you may find a lot of fishing boats along the ocean, you will also find plenty of remote sunbathing spots that are perfect for an afternoon of sun, sea and sand. If you’re travelling with children, you’ll be pleased to hear that the soft sands and aquamarine sea make it a great place for sandcastle building and swimming!
If you’re looking to make the most of your holiday, it’s well worth considering a day of island hopping. From the beach you can catch a boat to the beautiful Coral Island, where you can take a guided tour of the stunning and varied coastline where Phuket Island meets the clear blue Andaman Sea. This is also the place to come if you want to explore the multitude of life below the waves on a scuba diving or snorkelling trip.
The town itself is a popular destination for Expats, and this gives Rawai Beach a cosmopolitan, almost European flavour that has given rise to a huge array of choice of traditional Thai, European and fusion restaurants, bars and cafes. Of course the local seafood is a culinary delight and there are many restaurants which specialise in bringing you the freshest and most delicious seafood. This charming mixture means that this is the perfect place for those wishing to experience the cultures and delights of Thailand but from a friendly, almost familiar location. Popular with the local Thai people, the beach itself is also noteworthy and offers an ideal place for families to relax and play with its’ shallow, calm and warm water.
