The Vijitt Resort Phuket

Perched on Phuket’s quieter southeast coast at Friendship Beach in Rawai, this beachfront, all-villa resort sits above Chalong Bay. It’s a short drive to Rawai Beach and Chalong Bay, about 7 minutes to Karon View Point and within easy reach of Wat Chalong and the Big Buddha. Phuket International Airport is roughly 45 km (28 mi) away.

Contemporary Thai-style villas are tucked into tropical gardens and step down toward the sand. Villas feel private, with terraces or balconies, sunbeds and generous bathrooms that often feature outdoor rain showers and separate tubs. Many villas enjoy sea views and some include private plunge pools. The vibe is serene and romantic but also family-friendly.

Relax at a full-service spa with body treatments and facials, or swim in an infinity-edged lap pool that looks over the beach. There’s a fitness center, Jacuzzi and steam room, a kids club, gift shop and a complimentary beach shuttle. Babysitting is available for a surcharge and staff can arrange tours and activities.

High-speed wired and wireless internet is available across the property. The hotel also offers dry cleaning and laundry, 24-hour front desk service, luggage storage and an airport shuttle for a surcharge.

Two on-site restaurants serve international and authentic Southern Thai flavors. Baan Vijitt offers traditional Thai dishes in a charming Portuguese-style house, while The Savoury serves international fare and a complimentary cooked-to-order breakfast daily from 6:30–10:00. Enjoy light bites and drinks at the poolside bar or Beach Bar, and premium wines are available from the Wine Cellar. Room service is offered during limited hours.
