Racha Yai Island

One of the world’s most stunning destinations can be found twelve nautical miles south of Phuket, on the Andaman island of Racha Yai. Travel to the resort is half the excitement.... Limousine transfer from Phuket airport to The Racha’s Chalong Lounge takes approximately one hour. At this tranquil lounge, guests check-in and chill prior to speedboat departure to the island. Sea transfer typically takes a mere 30 minutes.

An expansive white-sand crescent bay with azure waters creates the postcard-perfect backdrop for the five-star luxury island resort, The Racha. With eco-chic luxury living, guests choose to ‘get-away from-it-all’ without taking anything from the environment. Spread over 20 acres of verdant tropical grounds and built in low-rise harmony with the environment, 85 villas of eight category types provide for every creature comfort. No matter one’s villa selection, all accommodations feature private terraces, spacious bathrooms with tub, enclosed and open-air rain showers, indoor and outdoor lounging daybeds. Living spaces are appointed with complimentary Wi-Fi and LCD TV with satellite feed, Sound Dock, Espresso machine & tea, electronic safe, individual air conditioning and IDD telephone.

From seafood under the stars at The Sunset Restaurant to bespoke Thai cuisine at The Bamboo, The Racha offers an exceptional dining experience. Select seafood freshly caught from the fishermen’s nets, savor authentic Thai delicacies crafted with the perfect balance of spice and sweetness, or enjoy greens freshly harvested from the resort’s own hydroponic farm. Pair your culinary adventure with a wine from our extensive Wine Cellar or a signature cocktail.

At The Racha, the island is one’s playground. For starters, the five-star Racha Dive Center provides personalized PADI scuba instruction and trips to the Andaman Sea’s most beautiful sites. Energetic guests may choose to kayak, snorkel the island’s famed house reefs, learn Thai craft making, ride ATVs or hike the island. For those preferring serenity, one might wish to connect with nature while strolling the resort’s grounds, swim in three ozonated pools, peruse the library, or indulge in treatments at The Racha’s famed Anumba Spa. Alternatively, there’s the luxury of simply watching the world go by.
