Rawai is a fishing village at the southern end of Phuket, where longtail boats line the shore and the pace is quieter than at the resort beaches of Patong and Karon. Villa Raja is set in the Rawai area, with the beach about 420 m away and the local life of a fishing village close by. The Sea Gypsies Fish Market and the Phuket Seashell Museum are also close by, and the streets around the villa are lined with small local shops.

Phuket International Airport (HKT) is 37 km away, and the island is reached by road, so a car or scooter helps when you go to the other beaches. Rawai Pier, a ferry terminal 900 m from the villa, is the departure point for boat trips to the islands nearby. The Big Buddha stands on a hilltop 5.7 km away, and Chaithararam Temple (Wat Chalong), one of the best-known temples on Phuket, is 7.5 km away.

A good day can start with the Big Buddha and Wat Chalong in the morning, then return to Rawai for a walk along the shore and a visit to the Phuket Seashell Museum. Boat departures from Rawai Pier can be cancelled when the sea is rough, so boat trips depend on the conditions on the day.
