Rawai Beach Resort

Phuket


Just over the road from central Hat Rawai, amid lovely green grounds, this whitewashed, contemporary complex is filled with plain, bright, good-value rooms spread across three houses around a pool. 'Cosy' rooms are perfectly spacious, while 'Suites' are huge, with their own lounges; all have kettles, fridges and balconies. Staff are helpful and there's a small library.
