The Vijitt Resort Phuket  

On Phuket’s quieter southeast coast at Friendship Beach, this five-star, villa-style resort slopes down to Chalong Bay. It’s in Rawai, minutes from Rawai Beach and a short drive to Phuket Town, Wat Chalong and the Big Buddha. Family-friendly and beachfront, it’s about 45 minutes from Phuket International Airport.

Contemporary Thai–inspired villas sit detached among tropical gardens and lawns. Expect private terraces with sunbeds, king-size beds, large bathrooms with outdoor rain showers and separate dressing areas. Many villas enjoy sea views and some even have their own private pools.

An infinity-edged lap pool overlooks the beach and a full V Spa offers massages, Jacuzzi and steam-room options. There’s a kids club, fitness center, poolside and beach bars, plus a complimentary beach shuttle to the sand. Landscaped grounds and sea-breeze mornings make it feel like a secluded retreat.

High-speed internet and complimentary Wi‑Fi keep you connected across the property. A 24-hour front desk, parking and an on-site tour desk simplify transfers and activity bookings.

Two on-site restaurants serve everything from authentic Southern Thai and classic Thai at Baan Vijitt (in a Portuguese-style house) to international breakfast and beachfront fare at The Savoury. The resort highlights organic produce, a Wine Cellar with premium selections, plus light bites at the Beach Bar and poolside bar.
