Spread over 20 acres of verdant tropical grounds and built in low-rise harmony with the environment, 85 villas of eight category types provide for every creature comfort.
From seafood under the stars at The Sunset Restaurant to bespoke Thai cuisine at The Bamboo, The Racha offers an exceptional dining experience. Select seafood freshly caught from the fishermen’s nets, savour authentic Thai delicacies crafted with the perfect balance of spice and sweetness, or enjoy greens freshly harvested from the resort’s own hydroponic farm. Pair your culinary adventure with a wine from our extensive Wine Cellar or a signature cocktail.
There are a thousand things to do at their island hideaway. Or nothing at all. At The Racha, the island is your playground. For starters, the five-star Racha Dive Centre provides personalised scuba instruction and trips to the Andaman Sea’s most beautiful sites. Energetic guests may choose to kayak, snorkel the island’s famed house reefs, learn Thai craft making, ride ATVs or hike the island. For those preferring serenity, one might wish to connect with nature while strolling the resort’s grounds, swim in three ozonated pools, peruse the library, or indulge in treatments at The Racha’s famed Anumba Spa.
Alternatively, there’s the luxury of simply watching the world go by.

About The Racha Resort regarding their environmental conservation and sustainability.
To begin with, the Racha Resort is highly concerned about environmental stability. Within the resort, there is always a way to reduce and reuse air conditioning usage. Condensation water from air conditioning fills the footbath outside every villa’s front door. Special heat exchangers in each villa’s air conditioning system provide ample zero-energy hot water for the bathrooms. Moreover, shower and bath toiletries are stored in ceramic vessels instead of plastic. All bath products are made from the highest-quality locally sourced organic products. All villas have double-thick exterior walls, reducing the energy load on air conditioning. In terms of saving energy, The Racha always utilises energy-saving bulbs or LED lights to ensure that the resort will not be entirely established to harm the environment. Lastly, all swimming pool water is ozone-treated instead of chlorine – the most environmentally sound, chemical-free, skin-friendly technology.
