Happy Eight Resort

Happy Eight Resort is a 3-star aparthotel in Rawai, Phuket, with 55 m² suites offering kitchenettes and balconies. The two suite types suit couples or independent travellers who value room to relax and prepare meals; one overlooks the pool and garden, while the other faces the mountains and includes a seating area. Both have private bathrooms, air conditioning, soundproofing and a dining area, with a refrigerator, microwave and stovetop for self-catering.

Outside the suites, you can use the year-round outdoor swimming pool, sun terrace and garden. The property also offers massage services, yoga and fitness classes, barbecue facilities and a tour desk. Free private parking is available on site, WiFi is free throughout and an airport shuttle is offered for a charge. Guests praise the helpful team, housekeeping and the warm, clean pool; the quiet Rawai neighbourhood has restaurants within walking distance, while beaches are a short drive away.

Happy Eight Resort has two suite options, each measuring 55 m² and arranged for up to two people. Both have a private bathroom, air conditioning, a balcony and a kitchen, so you can prepare meals and eat at the dining table rather than relying on a shared space. A refrigerator, microwave, stovetop, toaster and electric kettle are provided, alongside a flat-screen television and soundproofing.

The Suite with Pool View looks towards the pool and garden, with a balcony and terrace. The Suite with Mountain View trades that outlook for mountain scenery and includes a seating area. Both suites have a shower, towels and free toiletries; their generous floor area and dining arrangements make them self-contained places to stay rather than standard hotel rooms.

Practical self-catering facilities are a central part of a stay at Happy Eight Resort. Each suite has a kitchen or kitchenette, with a stovetop, microwave, refrigerator, toaster, kettle and kitchenware alongside a dining table. Towels, toiletries, a hairdryer and a private bathroom are provided, while a sofa and seating area make it easy to spend time indoors. Flat-screen television, cable and satellite channels are available, and free WiFi reaches all areas.

Outside, there is a garden, sun terrace, outdoor furniture and barbecue facilities. You can take part in yoga or fitness classes, book a full-body massage, or join cooking and local-culture sessions. Walking tours, hiking and snorkelling are among the activities available. Bicycle rental and car hire are offered, as is an airport shuttle. Free private parking is available on site without a reservation.

Happy Eight Resort is in Rawai, a residential part of southern Phuket, on Saiyuan Road. Guests describe the neighbourhood as quiet, with restaurants within walking distance: Iconic and All Cafe & Restaurant are both 400 m away, and Mamma Daos Kitchen & Bar is 550 m away. Masjid Noorul-Ibadah is 750 m from the suites. Viset Fruit Market, 1.5 km away, is a nearby place to browse fresh produce and everyday goods.

Phuket International Airport is 34 km away, and a paid airport shuttle is available. Free private parking is provided on site, with no reservation needed. Phuket Bus Terminal is 12.9 km away, so public transport does not bring you right to the door; arrange a taxi or local transfer for the last stretch. Car hire and bicycle rental are also offered, and you need to tell the property your expected arrival time in advance; check-in begins at 14:00.

Mu Ban Tan Khu Beach, 1.7 km away, is one nearby shore; Rawai Beach and Nai Harn Beach are also on this part of the coast. Kata View Point is 1.8 km from the suites, while Rawai fish market is 2.5 km away. Promthep Cape, 4.1 km away, is a coastal viewpoint at Phuket's southern tip. Kata Noi Beach and Chalong Beach are also among the nearby options for a day by the water.
