Rawai Palm Beach Resort

The Resort and Its Setting

Rawai Palm Beach Resort is an independently run timeshare and vacation club property on Wiset Road in Tambon Rawai, Amphoe Mueang Phuket. Google reviewers (4.3/5 from over 1,600 ratings) describe a sleek, well-kept resort with traditional-style rooms, more than one pool, an on-site spa and dining options, plus free breakfast and a beach shuttle. It's affiliated with Interval International, so owners aren't limited to Rawai alone — a week here can be deposited and exchanged for stays at other Interval resorts worldwide.

Rawai and What's Around It

Rawai is the quieter, more local end of Phuket, a short walk or shuttle ride from Rawai Beach itself — one of the island's largest, best known for sunset views, seafood shacks and longtail boats rather than big nightlife. It feels like a genuine Thai neighbourhood as much as a resort strip, with morning seafood markets, small family-run restaurants and a slower pace than Patong or Karon further north.

From the resort, Promthep Cape with its cliffside sunset viewpoint is about 5 km away, the Big Buddha above Phuket Town is roughly 12 km, and Phuket Town's Sino-Portuguese old quarter is around 20 km. Phang Nga Bay, with its limestone karsts and day-boat tours, is a longer trip at about 40 km but remains a popular day excursion for guests staying in the south of the island.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

Owners who no longer use their week at Rawai Palm Beach Resort can list it for resale or rental directly on BidMyTimeshare.com. It's an owner-to-owner marketplace: you set your own asking price, buyers and renters contact you through the platform, and we don't take a commission on the sale — sellers simply pay a small one-time listing fee to get their week in front of buyers.

Because this is an independent resort rather than a managed brand chain, any resale transfer is handled through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management, not through a third-party brand office. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, confirm directly with the resort what their current transfer fee and annual maintenance fee are — these figures aren't published centrally and can change year to year, so get them in writing as part of your sale discussion. Ask, too, whether the Interval International affiliation and any accrued points or deposit credits transfer automatically to a new owner, or whether the buyer needs to re-enrol separately.

Renters, meanwhile, are typically looking for confirmed dates, clarity on what's included (breakfast, shuttle, pool and spa access are all listed among the resort's own amenities), and a straightforward way to pay and communicate with the owner — all of which a direct listing on our platform is built to handle.

Practical Notes for Visiting

Rawai Palm Beach Resort sits on Phuket's southern Rawai coast, roughly 45 minutes to an hour by road from Phuket International Airport depending on traffic, so it's worth arranging a transfer or taxi in advance. The dry season, from November through April, brings the most reliable weather for beach days and boat trips to nearby spots like Phang Nga Bay. Outside those months, Phuket's southwest monsoon can bring heavier rain and choppier seas, worth factoring in if you're booking a rental week or planning your own stay.
