Selina Serenity Rawai Phuket, a true gem on the tropical Island of Phuket

Selina Serenity is quite possibly the nearest you can get to a real paradise resort on Phuket’s southeast coastline. The great location and chill vibe made us feel right at home during our weeklong stay and we rarely had a reason to venture beyond the resort.

This is our fourth Selina and we continue to be impressed by the vibrant appeal and the staff’s ability to fill the needs of their guests with the right mix of comfort, good food, excellent service and thoughtful convenience.

We opted to stay in one of the resort’s big apartments where we had a large bedroom with an en-suite bathroom (shower and huge bathtub), a smaller bedroom with adjacent bathroom, a kitchenette, sizable living room and a generous terrace overlooking a gorgeous tropical garden.

The resort’s gym is just a short walk from the pool and lounge area down by the sea. And though not very big, it did have all of the equipment we needed for a good morning workout.

Above the bar is a rooftop Sala where a variety of activities take place during the week, including several yoga classes.

The view from Serenity Selina’s beachfront is absolutely stunning. This is where you’ll enjoy breakfast, lunch, dinner or just a snack at either the bar or the outdoor dining lounge. And they even offer a dedicated co-working room nearby for us digital nomads.

But regardless of where you choose to relax, eat, drink or work, you’ll have this absolutely wonderful view of the sea and islands across the bay. The resort is really postcard picturesque and the perfect destination for a calming, enjoyable stay in Phuket.
