The Vijitt Resort Phuket

The Vijitt Resort Phuket is a five-star resort in Rawai, Phuket, with stand-alone Thai villas and a sea-facing infinity pool. Its 18-acre grounds face Friendship Beach and look towards Chalong Bay, Cape Panwa and the Coral Islands. Villas feature teak furnishings, air conditioning, a private bathroom, a bathtub and a terrace or balcony. Room choices range from garden-view accommodation to beachfront villas and two-bedroom layouts with private pools.

The resort has a spa with massage treatments, a fitness centre and a tour desk for island day trips. The Savoury serves American buffet breakfast, while Baan Vijitt offers Thai cuisine and The Beach Bar provides light refreshments. Wine from The Wine Cellar can accompany meals. A free scheduled shuttle connects the resort with Phuket Town, and free private parking is available. Larger villas suit family stays, while couples can choose garden or sea views; several villa categories include a private pool.

Accommodation is in stand-alone villas rather than conventional hotel rooms, with sizes ranging from 70 to 182 m². The 70 m² Deluxe Villas come in garden-view and sea-view versions, alongside a beachfront option. The villas have air conditioning, a private bathroom with a bath and shower, and a balcony or terrace; bathroom fittings include toiletries, bathrobes, slippers and a hairdryer.

Several types add a private pool: the 100 m² Deluxe Villa with Private Pool, the 162 m² Vijitt Pool Villa, the 178 m² Prime Pool Villa and the 182 m² Two-Bedroom Villa. The larger layouts provide two bedrooms. The Prime Pool Villa has two bathrooms, while the Two-Bedroom Villa includes a master bathroom with a spa bath and a second en-suite bathroom with a rain shower. Bed configurations vary by villa, with some offering a choice of a large double or single bed.

The resort combines dining, outdoor recreation and wellness facilities across its grounds. Restaurant service, a bar, children’s meals, fruit and wine or champagne cover the food and drink options, while American and buffet breakfast choices are available. WiFi is free throughout the property, and free private parking is available on site without a reservation.

The grounds include a beachfront setting, garden, terraces, sun terrace and outdoor furniture, with an outdoor swimming pool, children’s playground and kids’ club. Activities include bicycle rental, water sports on site, cycling, canoeing and cooking classes; the tour desk can help arrange excursions. Guests can also use the fitness centre and spa, with yoga classes, massage, a steam room, body treatments, facial treatments and wellness packages. Babysitting, daily housekeeping, laundry and dry cleaning are available.

The Vijitt Resort Phuket spreads across 18 acres on Friendship Beach, also called Tidal Beach, in Rawai, a coastal community in southern Phuket with residential stretches and local markets. Villas sit among garden grounds and look towards Chalong Bay, Cape Panwa and the Coral Islands. LisAndi Garden is 300 m away, Viset Fruit Market 350 m, and Mu Ban Tan Khu Beach 400 m. Rawai fish market is 1.9 km from the resort. Guest feedback describes Friendship Beach as quiet and scenic, but muddy and affected by strong tides, so the resort’s infinity pool provides a separate swimming option.

Rawai is 12.1 km from Phuket Town, and the resort runs a free scheduled shuttle there. Phuket Bus Terminal is 12.4 km away, while Phuket International Airport is 34.4 km away. Free private parking is available on site without a reservation. The resort asks you to share your expected arrival time in advance. Its position on Friendship Beach puts local markets and coastal stops close to the villa grounds, while the shuttle connects with Phuket Town.

Rawai Pier, 2.3 km away, is a departure point for boat trips, and the resort’s tour desk can arrange island day trips. Kata View Point is 3.2 km away, with views across the southern beaches; Promthep Cape is 4.5 km away at Phuket’s southern tip. Phuket Seashell Museum, 1.1 km from the resort, offers an indoor visit near Rawai. Back on the grounds, the spa, fitness centre and infinity pool provide ways to spend time without another drive.
