The property is in Kathu, an inland district of Phuket, on Vichitsongkram Road. Guests stay inland rather than on the beach, while the west coast lies a few kilometres away, so the stay suits those who want a base away from the busiest strips and still want the island's main beaches close at hand.

Elephant Jungle Sanctuary Phuket is 200 m away, and the Phuket Floating Market, a themed market with traditional boats and food stalls, is 400 m from the property. Wat Chalong is one of Phuket's best-known temples, and the Big Buddha sits on a hilltop 10.4 km away, with a view over the island. Patong Beach, 4.1 km away, is the busiest of the west-coast beaches, with bars and restaurants along Bangla Road.

A day could start at the Big Buddha and continue to Wat Chalong, then head to the beaches of Kata and Karon on the west coast, where the sea and the sand give a quieter afternoon than the busier strips of Patong. Phuket FantaSea, a theme park with cultural shows, can fill the evening, and Jungceylon Shopping Center offers shops and dining in Patong for those who want a change from the sand during a long day out.
