Rawai is a fishing village on the coast of Phuket, a calmer setting than the island's busiest resort strips. Midori Rawai sits in the village on Soi Saiyuan, a lane where small shops, local food stalls and fishing boats give the streets a working feel close to the water. The village has a fish market and a pier, and evenings here are quieter than in the island's busiest resort areas.

Nai Harn Beach, a long sandy bay, lies 2.8 km away, and Big Buddha Phuket, a large Buddha statue on a hilltop, is 4 km from the hotel. Chaithararam Temple, known as Wat Chalong, is one of the island's most important temples and sits 6.1 km away. Rawai Pier is the departure point for boats to nearby islands, and the Phuket Seashell Museum, 1.2 km away, makes a smaller stop on a day out.

A practical day starts with the sea at Nai Harn and continues with the temple and Big Buddha in the afternoon, and the hotel's own bar makes a simple place to end the day close by. Phuket International Airport, the nearest airport, is 35.4 km away, so the first part of the journey is usually the longest.
