The Racha, Phuket, Thailand
Our Philosophy
The Racha, Thailand’s premier deluxe island hideaway is set on a pristine beach on Racha Island; only 12 miles south of Phuket just 35 minutes by speed boat from Phuket’s Chalong Bay. The resort features 70 luxurious villas and strives to be recognized as a leader in responsible and environmentally sustainable tourism. The island is known for it’s natural beauty and is since long known for its excellent corals and marine life. (Batok bay and the beach in from of the resort are public areas and are used by other boats and tourists during the winter months from November to April).
Our Environmental Program
The Racha aims to at the fore-front of ecologically & environmentally responsible architecture and development.
Ecologically-responsible Architecture
The Racha has been designed to blend in with the existing terrain of the land and care has been taken to ensure the 69 luxurious single-storey villas and annex buildings do not stick out like sore thumbs ruining the natural profile of the land. No cutting and filling of the land was allowed.
Save Our Trees
Each and every building has been carefully set up and located on site by the architect and owners. Many of our villas have trees coming through the terraces and back yards. We would rather cut the eaves of our roofs than to cut the trees. For every tree that is cut, 2 trees are planted to replace it.
Our Environmental Initiatives
Daily beach cleaning by our staff. A comprehensive waste recycling program. Environmentally-friendly pontoon jetty for all to use. Public toilets for day-trippers at Ao Batok.
Our Environment is everywhere around us and if we do not take care of it today, who will take care of it tomorrow for us? It is our responsibility to safe-guard our environment for our future generations and this responsibility starts today.
