You absolutely must…
Must relax:
With such an expansive spa (25,000 sq ft!) we recommend at least one visit a day! Try Thai specialities such as the flower ritual in the open air pavilions. Or, a couples massage in a private room with your very own plunge pool and steam room. There is also yoga, morning mediation and a full-on fitness studio.
Must explore:
Both the jungle and the sea; put on a snorkel to gaze at the coral reef and try the resort’s quad bike tour for a look at the scenery and ecology of the island.
• A beautiful serene Thai island with enormous spa, fine dining and 85 fabulous villas
• Coral reef and thriving marine life plus biking, tennis, hiking, canoes and jungle quad biking
• Expansive spa with Thai specialities and yoga and fitness for complete rejuvenation
The Whole Story
At first glance you would swear you were in the Greek Islands. Racha is a blindingly pristine compound of white buildings and white villas surrounded by white jungle arranged around a startlingly white beach. The name of the property is the name of the island - Racha. A tiny emerald green dot blessed with brilliantly white sand beaches, less than an hour by boat from the tip of Phuket.
Built and developed by an engineer from Singapore, this hideaway is very different in that it makes no attempt to be Thai, but rather places the focus on the most stylish and sophisticated way to enjoy the beauty and climate of this tiny island in the Andaman Sea.
There's a bar on the beach with casual dining in an open pagoda, but the real star of the show is the restaurant and bar arranged along the hotel's unique horizon pool. Not only does it have a splendid view, but the food is of the quality, variety and inventiveness you would normally find in a big city.
Each guest gets an individual villa and each villa is arranged in a pattern descending down the hill that defines the property. No points for guessing what colour they are inside and out.
