The Racha

We love this resort! It is a fantastic place to go, and switch off! The food is amazing (best of all hotels we stayed in Thailand!), the staff are lovely, the beach is stunning. Sunset at the bar is out of this world! The rooms aren’t the most luxurious, but they are absolutely fine. My only complaint would be: The rubbish on the beach! We visited last year, and this wasn’t much of an issue. 1st thing in the morning, the beach was stunning/ clean. After the day-tripper left, there was some rubbish, but not too bad. The beach/ sea this year however, it was really bad! The day trippers turn up at 10am/ leave at 3pm. They eat crisps & drink juice whilst standing in the sea (we saw quite a few feeding the fish crisps 🤯) It is a pretty disgusting sight. They then leave, and leave all their rubbish behind. So this year, we could not use the beach in the afternoon. Even in the morning, it wasn’t that appealing, as there was still rubbish floating/ on the beach. I understand that the hotel cannot stop the day trippers, however they need to do WAY more to clean up after they’ve gone. The beach at Racha is genuinely one of the most stunning in the world… it is so sad to see what is happening. By the end of our holiday, I couldn’t go to the beach, as it just really annoyed me and there was nothing appealing about swimming in the beautiful sea surrounding by rubbish. Something really really needs to be done. 😢

Our 3rd stay at the Racha...it is still excellent. Management is doing a great job maintaining the property. Great stay for a couple wanting a romantic break from super busy Phuket. There are many day trippers / tours visiting the area between 10 am - 2 pm. We enjoyed the beach / swimming before 10 am + after 2 pm. The service + food were both very good.

I have booked for 7 days half sea view villa inc. breakfast .We arrived to Phuket airport and met Racha driver who took us to the pier for the speed boat transfer to the island. It was easy checkin Without waiting to be in. Best part of the resort is one of the best beach in Thailand especially the Color of the sea is turquoise crystal clear . Staff was very friendly helpful and did their best for pampering us during our stay. Yuyi,Su,Elizabeth , Theresa ,Porch st the Restaurants for dining and breakfast. Zai funny boy at the bar all did their best to serve us . House keeping was good always kept our room tidy.

The Racha is a stunning resort with impressive architecture and design, blending beautifully with the natural surroundings of Koh Racha Yai. The villas and overall layout create a serene and luxurious atmosphere, making it a truly special place to stay. The beach is an absolute dream—crystal-clear water and soft white sand. However, it's important to note that all beaches in Thailand are public, so in the first half of the day, it gets quite busy with day tourists from boat trips. That said, the staff does a great job ensuring hotel guests still find peace and quiet. While the breakfast was decent, it didn’t quite match the level of the JW Marriott Phuket, where we stayed before. On the other hand, dinner options were excellent, especially the Thai Kitchen restaurant right by the beach, which offered delicious food in a lovely setting. A real downside for us was that the sauna was out of order during our entire stay. As passionate sauna-goers, this was disappointing, although we made use of the steam room instead. Overall, The Racha is a fantastic place with breathtaking surroundings, but with a few areas for improvement. ⭐⭐⭐⭐
