rawai & Nai harn beach
Rawai and Nai Harn are down in the south of Phuket and technically, it is a municipality that covers a large area over the southern tip, and together with Nai Harn, it is easily one of the most popular areas of Phuket for foreigners to live with a large expatriate community.
Having no swimming beach of its own hasn’t made that much difference to its appeal as it is so close to other amazing beaches, namely Nai Harn Beach. Both Rawaai and Nai Harn’s large expatriate community also means it is easier to rent your property for the long term. The proximity between Rawaai, Nai Harn, Chalong and Kata is also very appealing.
The Chalong underpass allows easy and fast access to both Rawai and Nai Harn and if you want to buy a luxury villa in these areas, this is a great location – with a few isolated villas closer to Prom Thep Cape. There are many new developments in Rawai and Nai Harn made up of both condo and villas, some inland, some closer to the beach, while others are perched on the mountain with stunning sea views. The infrastructure found in this area has made Nai Harn/Rawai popular with developers over the years.
