Chatrium Rawai Phuket to Debut in 2026

Bringing its acclaimed brand of understated sophistication to Phuket, Thai hotel group Chatrium Hospitality is set to open its first resort on the island in 2026. Situated on the serene southern shores, Chatrium Rawai Phuket embodies the essence of Thai hospitality, with its human touch rooted in cultural values of respect, joy and generosity, and guided by the group’s eco‑conscious ethos.

The resort’s 304 contemporary rooms, suites and pool villas are arranged in a layered pattern, with most balconies framing sweeping views of the Andaman Sea. Interiors, bathed in natural light, emphasise comfort and ease.

Purpose-built family accommodations are enhanced by a lively kids’ club and splash pools designed for shared enjoyment and equipped with exhilarating water slides. Beyond the rooms, guests can move effortlessly between the Wellness & Spa Center and the dedicated water sports hub on the beach, before relaxing on a spectacular pool deck that provides sweeping, wide-angle views of the horizon.

Dining unfolds across a variety of settings: a seafood‑focused all‑day venue inspired by a traditional fisherman’s market, where local catches meet the bold aromatics of the Southern Seas; a poolside restaurant and bar serving tropical drinks and light fare by the shore; and a relaxed lobby lounge offering casual refreshments.

With its laid-back coastal atmosphere, Rawai Beach serves as a natural gateway to pristine coral reefs, diving sites and sun-drenched islands. Long-tail boats depart from its shores to nearby destinations, making it an ideal base for families and travellers seeking both tranquillity and adventure. The area retains its strong local character, with a working fishing community and the famous Sea Gypsy Village, where visitors can buy fresh seafood directly from fishermen. Families can enjoy boat trips, seaside dining and excursions to nearby landmarks including Promthep Cape and Ya Nui Beach.

Chatrium Rawai Phuket is a 30 to 40 minutes’ drive from Phuket Old town and 90 minutes away from the airport.
