Rawai, A.Muang
Phuket
Thailand
The beautifully landscaped natural setting has been developed over the last 60 years providing the basis of what we have today. It is abundant with trees native to the area among which are; mature coconut palms, rubber trees, tropical plants and a vast range of fruit trees.
The resort has 92 spacious stand alone villas strategically placed among the gently sloping forested land, they enjoy stunning sea views and a high degree of privacy.
The décor is clean and uncluttered while at the same time offering luxurious teak wood finishes and a strong sense of Southern Thai architecture throughout, from the wood tile roofs to the use of coconut and bamboo in the finishes.
This natural setting was the basis for creating the resort, and the concern for the local environment is paramount in everything we do, in fact one of our foundation brand values is ‘caring’ and this applies particularly for our care of the environment.
The design is a stylish blend of Thai and contemporary elements with the villas placed carefully around the undulating landscape so that they blend in to the environment rather than impose themselves on it.
Located on Friendship Beach in Rawai on prime beachfront land with a sea frontage of 250 metres and totaling 18 acres. The resort enjoys stunning views across Chalong bay to Lon and Coral Islands and Cape Panwa.
The site, formally Vijitt Bungalows, retains much of its original charm by incorporating the mature palms and other trees into the overall design. Traveling time from the Airport is 45 minutes, Phuket town is 25 minutes and Patong Beach is 40 minutes.
Environmental Awareness
Firstly in the design and build of the resort consideration and concern for the environment
was taken into consideration, as much of the building materials as possible have been
sourced locally and from within Thailand and this is a fundamental element of our policy, can anything we buy be purchased locally at a suitable quality?
During the creation of the resort we made every effort to keep as many of the existing trees
as possible, this even involved moving the location of some of the villas to accommodate
existing trees, therefore if you find you do not have a 180 degree sea view from your villa,
remember that you are helping the world by enjoying the natural view of the azure blue sea
mixed with the natural vivid greens that form part of the ‘native’ Phuket (much of which is
being lost on a daily basis as Phuket develops). Keeping these trees helps protect the natural
environment, provides a natural habitat for the indigenous species of animals and birds,
helps offset your carbon emissions as you fly to Phuket, and does it’s little bit to help protect
the ozone layer.
Some of the practical things that we will do in this regard include:
• No use of CFC based equipment
• Implementing a recycling policy
• Implementing a composting programme
• Providing guests with non-intrusive activity options such as batik painting, kite flying,
• Rubber processing
