Rawai is a fishing village at the southern tip of Phuket, close to Laem Promthep, the cape that marks the end of the island's southern coast. The coast here is lined with small bays and fishing boats, and the village has a more local character than the beach resorts on the west coast, with a fish market on the shore and a slower rhythm after dark.

Rawai Beach is 800 m from the resort and is the nearest sand. Nai Harn Beach and Kata Beach are both a short drive along the coast, and Rawai Pier is a ferry terminal a short walk from the sand. The Big Buddha, on the hills, is 6.9 km away, and Phuket International Airport is 38.4 km away.

A day here can start with a walk along Rawai Beach, followed by the Windmill Viewpoint near the cape, where the sea opens out below the hill. In the afternoon, the Big Buddha is a longer drive, and the Sunsuri Sunset Market is nearby for an evening walk before returning to the resort's bar and karaoke room. Visitors who plan boat trips should check the sea conditions locally, since the water can be rough at certain times of year.
