Rawai is a coastal area at the southern end of Phuket island, with a working pier, a fresh-fish market and several beaches within a few kilometres. The sea is close at hand, and the atmosphere is more local. Street-food stalls and small shops line the roads near the pier, and local life revolves around the boats coming in to the pier and the market stalls beside it.

Rawai Pier, the ferry terminal, is 1.6 km away, and Nai Harn Beach is 2.5 km away, a bay with Wat Nai Harn temple nearby. The hilltop Big Buddha is 4.8 km away, and Chaithararam Temple, known as Wat Chalong, is 6.8 km away, one of the island's best-known temples. Phuket International Airport is 36.2 km away, so the drive from the airport is a long one.

A full day could start at the Big Buddha and Wat Chalong, then move on to Nai Harn Beach or Rawai Beach in the afternoon. The property has car hire and a taxi service for getting around the island, and the Rawai fish market is also worth a visit. The beaches and temples are spread across the south of the island, so a car or taxi is useful for most of the day.
