The Vijitt Resort Phuket - SHA Extra Plus Travel Guide

Introduction

Tucked along the quiet, golden shores of Rawai Beach in southern Phuket, The Vijitt Resort Phuket - SHA Extra Plus is a tranquil tropical getaway that balances laid-back luxury with authentic Thai hospitality. Far from the crowded bustle of Patong but close enough to reach Phuket’s top attractions, this beachfront resort caters to romantic getaways, family vacations, and solo retreats alike, with certified health and safety standards that give guests peace of mind during their stay.

Hotel Overview

Located at 16 Moo 2, Viset Road, Rawai, Muang, Phuket 83130, the resort sits directly on a secluded stretch of Rawai’s seafront, with sprawling tropical gardens framing its low-rise, ocean-facing villas and rooms. All accommodation includes air conditioning, private balconies or terraces with outdoor seating, tea and coffee making facilities, flat-screen cable TVs, and spacious en-suite bathrooms with deep soaking tubs, free premium toiletries, bathrobes, and slippers.

Resort facilities cater to every traveler: a year-round open-air infinity pool and separate children’s pool, free Wi-Fi across the property, free private parking, and an airport shuttle for added convenience. Active guests can make use of the (paid-access) fitness center, yoga classes, bicycle rental, and kayaking, while those seeking relaxation can book massages, facials, body treatments, or unwind in the steam room at the on-site spa. Families benefit from a kids’ club, outdoor children’s play area, paid babysitting services, and connecting family rooms. Dining options include a beachfront restaurant serving Thai and international dishes, a pool bar, and paid extra options like children’s meals, wine, and champagne, with a daily breakfast included in most rates. The 24-hour front desk offers tour booking, currency exchange, and luggage storage, with English and Thai speaking staff on hand.

Nearby Attractions

Three top local spots are all within a 15-minute drive of the resort:

• Promthep Cape: Phuket’s most famous sunset viewpoint, just 10 minutes from the resort, offers sweeping panoramic views of the Andaman Sea and outlying islands. Arrive 45 minutes before sunset to claim a spot and watch the sky turn brilliant orange and pink over the water.
• Rawai Fish Market: A 5-minute drive away, this lively local market sells fresh-caught seafood straight from the Andaman. Many vendors will cook your purchase on-site for a small fee, letting you enjoy affordable, ultra-fresh grilled prawns and fish right by the water.
• Nai Harn Beach: A 15-minute drive north, this sheltered, crescent-shaped beach has calm, clear water ideal for swimming, soft golden sand, and a laid-back vibe far less crowded than Phuket’s more touristy northern beaches.

Travel Tips

Book a pool villa or ocean-facing room for the best views – the resort’s low-rise layout means even ground-floor rooms get unobstructed garden or sea views. Take advantage of the complimentary bicycle rental to cycle along the quiet Rawai coastline to nearby cafes and viewpoints. If you’re traveling as a family, the kids’ club offers daily supervised activities, giving parents time to enjoy a quiet spa treatment or romantic beach dinner. Arrange the resort’s airport transfer in advance to avoid haggling for taxi fares upon arrival, and note that spa treatments and fitness center access incur additional fees, so factor that into your budget. The resort is entirely on ground level, making it a great choice for travelers with limited mobility.
