Rawai is a fishing village on the Phuket coast, where small bays and a sandy shoreline make a calmer setting than the busier resort strips of Patong and Bangla Road. Life here centres on the village beach and the working harbour, and the pace is slower than in the island's main nightlife areas.

Rawai beach is 300 m away, and the Promthep Cape area has a pagoda, the Promthep Cape Monastery, and the Kanchanaphisek Lighthouse, 1.1 km from the property. Nai Harn Beach, a longer stretch of sand, lies further along the coast, and Chaithararam Temple (Wat Chalong), one of the island's most revered temples, is 9.9 km away. The Phuket International Airport is 39 km away, so the island's main roads are the way in for most arrivals.

A full day could combine the cape and the Rawai shore with a drive to Big Buddha Phuket, 7.4 km away, and a visit to Wat Chalong in the afternoon. The walk along the village beach and a lunch break before the drive make a relaxed itinerary for a day without a fixed plan, and the cape is a short stop on the way. In the rainy months, rough seas can make boat trips from the nearby pier less reliable.
