Simple is an intimate spot on the Rawai waterfront in Phuket, where the day naturally drifts between the sea and the pool. It looks out over Chalong Bay: some tables sit right by the water, others are set on the lawn among palm trees, and as sunset approaches it’s especially nice to linger with a drink and simply watch the bay.

The space is styled in a neat boho‑chic aesthetic — cozy, calm, and unhurried, with a great playlist and a soft “island” vibe. There are several seating areas, so it works equally well for getting some work done with a cup of tea, enjoying a slow lunch, or spending the evening over cocktails.

A standout feature is the sea‑view pool and a dedicated relaxation area. Families will appreciate the children’s pool, which is available at no extra charge. It’s also a good choice for groups: adults can unwind by the water with cocktails while kids are happily busy swimming, and the place still feels pleasantly private.

The menu focuses on fresh, familiar dishes without overcomplicating things — breakfasts, Thai favorites, and European classics. You’ll find options like tuna tataki and tuna steak, burgers, pasta and salads, skewered pork belly, and a Thai glass‑noodle salad. Drinks range from coconut smoothies to cocktails, and there’s sometimes a happy hour. Portions are nicely presented, flavors are vibrant, and prices remain reasonable.

What truly sets the tone is the hospitality: friendly, thoughtful service makes it easy to relax, with no pressure around time or ordering.
