Rawai is a fishing village on the coast of Phuket island, where longtail boats line the shore and daily life plays out around the Sea Gypsies Fish Market. The hotel is on Wiset Road, in a neighbourhood with a local feel, away from the bars of Bangla Road in Patong, and the beach is about 240 m away. Visitors who want a quieter base will find the village more relaxed than the island's main beach towns.

Rawai Pier, a ferry terminal, is 600 m from the hotel, and the Phuket Seashell Museum is close by. Nai Harn Beach lies 2.3 km away along the coast, and the Big Buddha Phuket, on its hill above the island, is 5.8 km from the hotel. Phuket International Airport is 37.2 km away, and the island's roads link Rawai with Patong, Kata and Karon, so car hire and taxis are a practical way to explore.

A good day here can start with a walk to the beach and a visit to the Sea Gypsies Fish Market, then continue to Chaithararam Temple (Wat Chalong), one of the island's most important temples. Head to the Big Buddha Phuket in the afternoon for views over the island, or spend a quieter hour at the Phuket Seashell Museum.
