Koh Racha Yai, just about 20km South of Phuket, Thailand is paradise for many snorkelers, divers and swimmers with its clear blue waters, amazing marine life and visibility as far as 30m in the water. Racha Yai is a very simple island with only a few bungalows and restaurants, creating a true get-a-way for tourists coming from the busy beaches of Phuket. Guests will find themselves in a haven of pristine beaches on the doorstep of one of the most exclusive and serene 5-star hotels in Thailand, The Racha.

The helicopter will land about 250m from the property of The Racha, where golf carts will pick up the guests of the 5-star hotel. The Racha was voted one of the "Top 10 Best Beach Resorts in the World in 2008," according to Tablet Hotels.  This luxurious retreat, set right on the serene beach of Racha Island, is a recognized leader for responsible and environmentally sustainable tourism.  

Whether guests are flying in on a helicopter transfer to The Racha, or just want to fly in to enjoy the pristine beaches, both are easily accessible upon arrival. The helicopter will land about 500m away from 3 different beaches (approximately equal distances to all 3 beaches.) The main beach, Ao Tawan Tok, is a stunning U-shaped bay with powdery white sand.  If guests would like to visit any of the island's beaches, they are welcome to walk to them from the helipad.
