Six places to come back to after a dive
Phu NaNa Boutique Hotel
Phu NaNa is a useful starting point if you prefer a smaller hotel in Rawai. Its room selection includes Superior, Deluxe and Deluxe Pool View options, alongside Family and Connecting Deluxe rooms. That gives couples and families several layouts to compare without moving to a large resort.
When comparing rooms: Compare the hotel rooms with the separately listed apartments carefully so you book the accommodation you intend.
Explore Phu NaNa Boutique HotelRawai Palm Beach Resort
Rawai Palm Beach Resort combines Thai-inspired architecture with a substantial pool area. Room categories include pool-view, pool-access and family options. Its position near the Rawai waterfront makes it worth considering if you want a resort base with places to explore after a day at sea.
When comparing rooms: Pool access is a specific room category. Check your chosen room description if stepping straight into the water is part of the appeal.
Explore Rawai Palm Beach ResortNavatara Phuket Resort
Navatara brings a more intimate resort feel, with Thai-style rooms, handcrafted teak furnishings and terraces or balconies. The hotel lists a swimming pool and Jacuzzi, Tara Café, fitness facilities and a shuttle service. It is an appealing option for travellers who want time by the pool between diving and exploring southern Phuket.
When comparing rooms: Check the hotel’s current shuttle destinations and timetable. A beach shuttle and a transfer to your dive meeting point are different arrangements.
Explore Navatara Phuket ResortThe Vijitt Resort Phuket
The Vijitt offers a villa setting on landscaped grounds overlooking Chalong Bay. Its accommodation ranges from Deluxe Villas to private-pool and two-bedroom options, with restaurants, a spa and children’s facilities on site. Consider it when the resort itself will be a substantial part of your holiday, as well as a base for diving.
When comparing rooms: The resort describes its shoreline as tidal. Choose it for the villas, pool and bay setting, and plan beach outings around the experience you want.

Wyndham La Vita is the larger, activity-focused option in this selection. Lagoon pools, the Splash Station, a kids’ club and a wide range of rooms and suites give families plenty to compare. It can suit a holiday where some guests head out diving while others enjoy a resort day.
When comparing rooms: Match the exact suite layout to your group. Kitchenettes, pool access and separate bedrooms vary by room category.
Explore Wyndham La Vita PhuketMangosteen Ayurveda & Wellness Resort
Mangosteen is an adults-only hillside resort with private villas, tropical gardens and a saltwater pool. Its focus is wellness, yoga and Ayurveda programmes, which gives it a different character from the family resorts in this guide. It is worth exploring if a peaceful resort stay is central to your plans.
When comparing rooms: Ask the resort which stay or programme fits your dates and whether its daily schedule works with a full day of diving.

Choose your area before comparing room deals
Think about how you want to spend the whole holiday. Rawai and the Nai Harn area offer a southern Phuket base; Chalong is the key departure area for many local dive boats. A hotel’s exact location matters more than simply having “Phuket” in its address.
Check the hotel-transfer guide and send us the hotel name when arranging your activity. Confirm pickup for the specific trip, and check the meeting arrangements for each course day.
Allow time for breakfast and a relaxed start
Ask your hotel about breakfast hours, early checkout or luggage storage when these affect your plans. Read what to expect on a Phuket diving day trip before filling the rest of that day with activities.
Match the diving to your experience
Choose an instructor-led first dive, a PADI Open Water course or a day trip for certified divers. If you are still deciding whether to start, our reasons to learn to dive offer a little inspiration.
When arranging your final nights in Phuket, leave the appropriate interval between your last dive and your flight. Use our flying-after-diving guide while planning the itinerary.
Questions about where to stay
Are these hotels all within walking distance of the dive departure point?
No. They are a selection across Rawai and southern Phuket, rather than a list of hotels beside Chalong Pier. Check the exact hotel location and confirm transport or meeting arrangements for your programme.
Which options should families compare first?
Wyndham La Vita has a strong pool-and-activities focus. Rawai Palm Beach offers family room options, while The Vijitt has villa choices and children’s facilities. Phu NaNa also lists family and connecting rooms. Confirm occupancy and the exact room layout directly with the hotel.
Which hotel is for an adults-only stay?
Mangosteen describes itself as an adults-only Ayurveda and wellness resort. Check its current stay options and programme schedule directly when planning your holiday.
Do I book the hotel through Thailand Divers?
Use the official hotel links to check rooms, rates and booking terms directly with each property. Contact Thailand Divers for your diving plans and tell us where you will be staying.
