- About 30 minutes from Phuket International Airport.
Raffles Jeddah
- Setting: the Jeddah Corniche facing the Red Sea, with the waterfront and city’s northern districts immediately accessible.
- Eligible stays can earn ALL Accor Reward and Status points when the membership number is attached.
- Restaurant, spa and seasonal resort schedules can change; verify them on the official property page for the intended dates.
