Around Nua, waiting for your massage is never just waiting — it is a chance to wander through a tiny neighborhood of gardens, coffee, animals, and sea views, all within walking distance from our door. Ask for the printed Nua's Friends Map at reception to unlock exclusive partner discounts and turn your wait into a delightful discovery.
Baristar Coffee
Baristar Coffee is your pre‑massage pit stop for seriously good espresso and iced drinks poured in a quiet garden just steps from Nua.
Grab a latte, sit under the trees of Fisherman Way, and let the slow soundtrack of birds and clinking cups gently switch you into “holiday mode” before your therapist even touches your shoulders.
Fisherman mini zoo
If you are visiting with kids or waiting for a partner, the Fisherman mini zoo turns those extra minutes into a tiny adventure rather than hallway time on your phone.
Ask Nua’s manager for access and wander through a small, friendly farm where children can meet animals while adults stroll shaded paths and enjoy the feeling of being inside a private tropical garden.
Lemongrass House Rawai
Just a short walk away, Lemongrass House Rawai is a treasure chest of hand‑blended Thai oils, lotions, and spa products used by professional resorts across the country.
It is the perfect place to browse slowly after your treatment, choosing a body oil that smells like your massage or packing gifts that bring the softness of Phuket back home.
Underdogs street food art
Underdogs is not your usual hot‑dog stand; it is a chef‑driven food truck where homemade buns, sauces, and creative toppings turn street food into something you talk about later.Parked in a lush garden setting, it is ideal for a fun, informal bite before or after your massage, especially if you like the idea of Michelin‑level instincts applied to comfort food you can eat with your hands.
Raga Cafe
Raga Cafe hides behind trees on Wiset Road, a wooden house wrapped in greenery, koi ponds, and a small waterfall that makes the traffic disappear the moment you step inside.
Order a carefully brewed coffee and a homemade bakery treat — many guests swear by the cube‑shaped croissant — and sink into the feeling that you’ve found a secret garden just a short stroll from Nua.
Rossovivo Ristorante Italiano
Rossovivo sits a few minutes from Nua, with a wood‑fired oven glowing in a leafy courtyard and an Italian chef sending out pizzas with blistered crusts and bowls of fresh pasta.Come here while someone in your family enjoys their massage, or meet after your sessions for a late dinner where the only thing you need to decide is red or white wine under the warm Phuket night.
Leikki Neighbourhood Cafe
Leikki Neighbourhood Cafe feels like a bright Nordic living room that somehow landed in Rawai — pale woods, green tones, plants, and sunlight spilling over all‑day brunch plates.
Families love it for the kids’ corners and cake‑decorating workshops, while coffee lovers linger over beautifully plated breakfast, smoothie bowls, and that famous honeycomb latte from our map.
Lay Cafe & View
When you want the sea to keep you company, Lay Cafe opens up to wide ocean views that make even a simple iced coffee feel like a slow‑motion movie scene.
Come early for a quiet horizon or later for golden‑hour light, let your legs dangle, and watch boats drift across the bay while you wait for your massage or for your loved ones to finish theirs.
When you arrive at Nua, ask our team for the printed Nua's friends map. It comes with special offers from our favorite local partners, so you can enjoy little discounts and treats while you explore the area before or after your massage!
