A Fitness and Wellness Resort in Rawai Beach
STAY Wellbeing & Lifestyle Resort is not a typical Phuket beach hotel. It’s built around a specific purpose: fitness, detox, and wellness retreats. With 162 suites and villas, a three-storey 1,000 sqm gym, four pools, and its own medical clinic, it functions more like a self-contained wellness campus than a resort you pass through.
If you’re coming to lie on a beach all day, this is the wrong place. If you’re coming to train, reset, and eat well, it’s one of the best options in Phuket.

The Rooms
Rooms are modern and well-furnished, with Egyptian cotton sheets, rainfall showerheads, espresso makers, and balconies across all 162 units. The design is clean and minimal without feeling cold. Some suites include a kitchenette, which suits longer retreat stays.
Restaurants and Dining
Three dining options cover most needs. Fresca Kitchens and Deli handles main meals with international and local cuisine, including organic, vegetarian, and vegan dishes. STAY Green Cafe is the lighter option, positioned by the pool for healthy daytime eating. CHICA Rooftop Lounge handles evening drinks and a broader menu including Mexican and Thai food.
Breakfast is buffet-style from 7 am to 11 am and gets consistently good reviews. The resort also runs its own organic vegetable farms and 400-hen chicken operation on site, which explains why the produce quality is above average for a hotel kitchen.
Facilities
STAY Fit is the centrepiece. Three floors of Life Fitness equipment, open 24 hours, with daily group classes including HIIT, yoga, Muay Thai, spinning, and an outdoor obstacle course. For anyone serious about not letting training slip on holiday, this is a genuine facility rather than a token hotel gym.
LeSpa by STAY offers massage, facials, body treatments, sauna, steam room, and couples treatment rooms. STAY WELL Clinic and Physio is the newest addition, covering physiotherapy, cryotherapy, anti-aging treatments, and longevity medicine. It’s an unusual offering for a resort, but it fits the overall concept.
Four outdoor pools are on site plus a kids’ pool. The resort also holds the largest rooftop solar installation of any hotel in Phuket and runs its own fresh water bottling system.
The Location
Rawai is quiet and residential. The resort sits on Viset Road, not directly on any beach. Nai Harn and Rawai beaches require transport, and the resort runs a free shuttle to nearby beaches throughout the day. Chalong Pier is 3 km away for anyone planning island day trips. Kata and Karon beaches are a 10-minute drive. Patong is 17 km north.
This is not a walkable location for restaurants or nightlife. The resort is designed to keep you on site, which either suits you completely or becomes limiting after a few days. Most guests who book here know what they’re signing up for.
Who should book STAY? Fitness travellers, wellness retreat seekers, and anyone wanting a structured detox or weight loss programme. Couples who both want to train or use the spa. Long-stay guests who want proper gym access and varied healthy dining without leaving the property.
Who should skip it? Beach-focused travellers. First-time visitors to Phuket who want to explore. Anyone expecting a traditional luxury resort atmosphere. Guests who are surprised by extra charges should note that some facilities, including the basketball court, carry additional fees.
