Rawai Large Sea View 4 Bedroom Double Pool Villa

The whole villa is rented as one home, with four bedrooms, three bathrooms and room for up to ten guests. Its beds come in a choice of set-ups, and the house has air conditioning.

The house has a sea view, a pool and a gym, and a group can have all of it to themselves.

The villa has air conditioning and a gym, and parking is available on site for guests who come by car.

Internet access is available in the house, and pets are allowed. The air conditioning and the gym belong to the house itself, so they are shared by everyone staying there.

Rawai is a fishing village and beach area at the southern tip of Phuket, and it feels much quieter than Patong, the island's best-known resort. Daily life here is local, with a working pier and a fish market close by, which suits a stay in a house rather than a hotel. A pool villa like this one makes a good base for travellers who want space and a slower pace, with the island's beaches and temples reachable by road, since Phuket is linked to the mainland by a bridge.

Nai Harn Beach, a wide sandy bay 3.5 km away, is one of the island's popular swimming beaches. The Big Buddha, the large white seated statue on a hilltop 3.8 km away, is one of Phuket's best-known landmarks, and Wat Chalong, 5.6 km away, is one of the most revered temples on the island. Rawai Pier, 2.8 km away, is a ferry terminal for boats to the islands.

A day could start at the Rawai fish market, then continue to the Big Buddha and Wat Chalong, and end at Nai Harn with a swim before sunset. For a night out, Patong, 10.8 km away, is home to Bangla Road, Phuket's best-known nightlife street.
