Ocean Houses ^中文版

Introduction

Perched on Phuket’s laid-back Rawai Beach, Ocean Houses offers a quiet alternative to the crowded resort strips of Patong and Kata, making it perfect for travelers craving relaxed seaside luxury without the constant hum of crowds. Whether you’re a family chasing slow beach days, a couple on a romantic getaway, or a solo traveler seeking a peaceful base to explore southern Phuket, this boutique property checks every box for a memorable Thai island escape.

Hotel Overview

Ocean Houses is located at Wiset Road, 83130 Rawai Beach, Thailand, right on the shoreline with its own private beach area exclusive to guests. The property’s standout feature is its year-round open saltwater outdoor swimming pool, a scenic infinity-style space with a poolside bar, loungers, and even water play toys for kids. All rooms include free resort-wide WiFi, air conditioning, private entrances, and fully equipped kitchenettes with a fridge, kettle, and dining space, plus en-suite bathrooms with showers and hairdryers. On-site facilities cater to every need: private parking (available by reservation, for a small fee), a full bar and restaurant serving breakfast, local and international dishes, plus kids’ meals for an extra charge. Wellness offerings include paid beachside massages and daily yoga classes, while activities range from bingo nights to paid guided fishing, kayaking, snorkeling, and diving trips organized by the property’s helpful concierge team. Multilingual staff speak English, Spanish, French, Thai, and more, and paid airport transfers can be arranged for seamless arrival and departure.

Local Attractions

Three unmissable attractions lie within a 20-minute drive of Ocean Houses. First, Promthep Cape, Phuket’s most famous sunset viewpoint, is just 10 minutes away: climb the short path to the headland for sweeping panoramic views of the Andaman Sea and the distant islands of Phi Phi, as golden light paints the water pink at dusk. Second, Rawai Fish Market, a 5-minute walk from the hotel, is a lively spot where you can buy fresh-caught lobster, crab, and grouper for a fraction of restaurant prices, and have local vendors cook your haul right on the spot for a small fee. Third, the quiet, unspoiled Yanui Beach, 15 minutes away, is a sheltered cove perfect for swimming and snorkeling, with soft golden sand and far fewer crowds than Phuket’s more popular beaches.

Travel Tips

Book your private parking spot in advance if you’re renting a car to explore the island, as spaces are limited. For the best room rates and availability, reserve at least two months ahead during peak season (November to February). If you plan to take advantage of on-site activities like massage or diving, ask the concierge about package deals to save on extra fees. Finally, don’t skip breakfast at the hotel’s oceanfront dining terrace: the spread of fresh tropical fruit, Thai congee, and made-to-order pancakes is the perfect start to a day of exploring southern Phuket.
