Selina Serenity Rawai Phuket

Selina Serenity Rawai Phuket Overview

I’ll be honest – when I first heard about Selina Serenity Rawai Phuket, I wasn’t sure what to expect from this five-star spot tucked away in Rawai. You know how it is with newer properties, especially ones trying to blend that trendy Selina vibe with proper luxury. But honestly? They’ve nailed it here in a way that surprised me.

The thing about Rawai is that it’s not your typical Phuket beach scene – and that’s exactly why this place works so well. While everyone’s fighting for space on Patong or Kata, you’re down here where the locals actually hang out, watching longtail boats bob in the bay and listening to the chatter from the seafood market just down the road. The hotel sits in this sweet spot where you can walk to authentic Thai restaurants (seriously, there’s this som tam lady about five minutes away who’ll change your life), but you’re still getting all the polished service you’d want from a luxury property. I mean, the staff genuinely seems to care about making your stay memorable, not just checking boxes.

What really got me was how they’ve managed to keep that laid-back Selina DNA while actually delivering on the upscale promises. The spaces feel thoughtfully designed – not Instagram-perfect in that sterile way, but comfortable and stylish enough that you want to spend time in them. The pool area becomes this lovely social hub in the evenings, though it never feels crowded or chaotic. And here’s something practical that matters: the Wi-Fi actually works everywhere, parking isn’t a nightmare, and check-in was refreshingly smooth (no standing around for twenty minutes while they “prepare your room“).

You know what I appreciated most, though? The location gives you options without forcing decisions. Want to join the backpacker crowd and hop on a boat tour to the islands? Easy – the pier’s right there. Feel like splurging on fresh seafood with your feet in the sand? Walk ten minutes to Rawai Beach and take your pick of restaurants. Need to stock up on supplies or grab a proper coffee? There’s enough infrastructure nearby without feeling touristy and overpriced. It’s that rare balance where you’re connected to real Phuket life but can retreat to your bubble whenever you want. The 8.4 rating honestly feels about right – it’s not perfect (the breakfast could use more local options, and some rooms face a slightly busy street), but it delivers on what matters most: comfort, location, and that intangible feeling that you’ve found something special.

• Kath from United Kingdom (8/10)

  Great hotel with a lovely pool over looking the beach. We stayed in a Cabana room which was a converted shipping container – it was nicely done and very clean but was very small. The breakfast was really tasty and the food at the restaurant was ok but expensive compared to local restaurants.

• Lynn from Germany (8/10)

  The layout of the property and the proximity to the beach are unbeatable. They offer a lot of activities to participate in, there’s a nice vibe amongst staff and guests and kite schools and other restaurants are in walking distance.

• Arnot from Spain (8/10)

  Room was fantastic, like a hostel dorm but all done to the level of a 4 star hotel. Details were really appreciated
