Royal Thai Villas

The accommodation at Royal Thai Villas is made up of villas, with room for up to five guests in the larger ones. Some villas look onto the garden, and one of them has a sea view.

The Traditional Villa has two bedrooms and a garden area, and the Villa Princess offers 70 m² of living space, so there is a choice of sizes for different groups of travellers.

Dining at Royal Thai Villas covers the restaurant, the bar and the snack bar, with BBQ facilities for cooking outdoors and room service during limited hours. For a massage, the hotel's full-service spa is the place to go after a day of sightseeing, and the massage treatments are a natural way to end a day spent on the beaches and temples nearby.

Practical services include a 24-hour front desk, luggage storage, safety deposit boxes, laundry and ironing, express check-in and check-out, and wheelchair access. Guests arriving by air can use the airport transfer, and the shuttle service and car hire cover the rest of the transport needs, with on-site parking and valet parking available.

Rawai is a fishing village in the south of Phuket, where the streets near the harbour are lined with small restaurants, seafood stalls and local shops rather than large resorts. Phuket is the largest island in Thailand, and Rawai is one of its quieter corners, a more relaxed base than Patong, the island's busy beach resort.

The hotel is a short drive from Chalong Beach, the nearest beach, and from the Big Buddha, a large white statue on a hill with views across the island, 4.1 km away. Wat Chalong, one of the island's most important temples, is 5.3 km away, and Nai Harn Beach, a popular bay, is 4.3 km off, so the beaches and the temples are close enough to combine in a single day.

Phuket International Airport is 34.8 km away, and the hotel offers an airport transfer for arrivals. A car makes the temples and beaches easy to reach, and one full day could start at the Big Buddha, continue to Wat Chalong and finish with a swim at Nai Harn Beach, with the village of Rawai to return to in the evening for a seafood dinner, since the streets around the harbour are full of places to eat.
