Roost Glamping Phuket is a small, intimate glamping spot in the Rawai area. Set in lush tropical greenery, it features gravel paths, tipi-style tents, and shared spaces tucked slightly below the main entrance. The vibe feels like “a pocket of jungle in the city”: shops and mini-marts are close by, Rawai Beach is about a 10–15 minute walk away, and getting around by scooter or taxi is easy. On-site parking is available.

Accommodation ranges from dorm beds to air-conditioned glamping tents, as well as fan-cooled options. The more comfortable categories come with electricity, Wi‑Fi, and a private shower and toilet (sometimes with a separate entrance from outside). Fan tents stay cooler at night, but during the day they can feel stuffy in the heat; in the dorm, the air conditioning is typically turned on in the evening.

The heart of the property is the poolside cafe. It’s where guests have breakfast, grab coffee and juices, or order full meals (including Thai dishes), and many people work here on their laptops. Wi‑Fi is usually most reliable in the café area; inside the tents, the signal can be weaker.

There’s also a pool surrounded by greenery. In the evenings, the staff often host a campfire with s’mores, which is especially popular with families. Kids can also enjoy games and a small play area near reception. A few things to keep in mind: mosquitoes and other insects are common, so repellent is a must, and at night you may occasionally hear noise from the road or nearby venues.
