Luxurious Residence Rawai

Luxurious Residence Rawai Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to Luxurious Residence Rawai, I honestly wasn’t expecting much from the quiet Soi Sylvia location — but this four-star property completely caught me off guard. The entrance feels more like arriving at a friend’s upscale villa than checking into a typical hotel, and there’s something refreshing about that intimate scale. You know what really struck me? The staff actually remembered my name after the first day, which doesn’t happen often at larger resorts around Phuket.

The Room Experience

My room was spacious in that way that makes you want to kick off your shoes and actually relax — not just crash for the night. The design leans modern without feeling cold, and I mean, the air conditioning works like a dream (crucial in Thailand’s heat). What I appreciated most was the attention to small details: proper blackout curtains, enough outlets near the bed, and a bathroom that doesn’t make you feel like you’re showering in a closet. The balcony overlooks the pool area, which gets lively but never obnoxiously loud.

Location and Getting Around

Rawai isn’t the flashiest part of Phuket, but that’s actually why it works so well. You’re close enough to the action without being stuck in the tourist chaos of Patong — honestly, it’s about a 15-minute drive to some excellent local seafood spots that most visitors never discover. The free parking on-site is a genuine blessing if you’re renting a car, which I’d recommend for exploring the southern beaches. Couples seem to really love this area (the hotel mentioned an 8.7 rating from pairs), and I can see why — it feels more authentic and less commercialized.

Amenities That Actually Matter

The breakfast spread surprised me with its variety — they’ve got everything from continental basics to proper Asian options, plus they handle dietary restrictions without making it feel like a big production. The spa services are solid without being overpriced, and there’s a hot tub that’s perfect for unwinding after a day of beach hopping. I spent a surprising amount of time at the pool table in the evening; it’s one of those simple touches that makes the place feel more like a retreat than just another hotel. The tennis court gets decent use too, though it can get pretty warm during midday.

Why Guests Love It

Look, this place earned a 9.8 rating for good reason — it’s the kind of spot where everything just works without any drama. The staff genuinely cares about your experience, the facilities are well-maintained, and you’re not paying resort prices for basic services. What really sets Luxurious Residence Rawai apart is how it manages to feel both polished and relaxed at the same time. It’s perfect for travelers who want quality accommodations without the pretense, and honestly, I’d stay here again without hesitation.

To book hotel in Phuket for Loy Krathong, travelers grab lagoon villas where lanterns drift across the pools.

• Xabdulazizx from Saudi Arabia (10/10)

  The location is near to all the things you and your family needs.
  The villa had a large space and secure with two gates.
  Quiet area and you feel yourself in nature.
  They take care of all the details: soap, shampoo, blankets, and daily care of the house, the pool, and the garden.
  The person in charge Mr. Mario provided us with a "golden plate" service. He was dealing with us not as a business or a client he was dealing with us as friends.

• Michał723 from Poland (10/10)

  A great place to rest, peace and quiet, a private playground for 3 villas, a very large space, it's a pity that it was so short. We didn't leave the villa, food was delivered, we were welcomed with a basket of fruit, water, beer and a bottle of good white wine. We will come back
