Karon is one of the long sandy beaches on the Phuket coast, with a strip of restaurants and shops behind the sand that stays lively into the evening. It lies between Kata Beach and the busier resort town of Patong, and Patong's nightlife is reached by road. It is a beach base rather than a party district, with the sand close at hand.

The Phuket Big Buddha, a white seated statue on a hilltop, is 1.8 km from the hotel and is one of the island's best-known landmarks. Wat Chalong, one of the main Buddhist temples on Phuket, is 4.3 km away, and Patong Beach is 5.7 km along the road. Patong has the island's busiest nightlife, with bars and a lively street on Bangla Road. Phuket International Airport is 30.6 km away, and the rest of the journey is by road, by taxi or songthaew.

A good day could start with a swim at Karon Beach, continue with the Big Buddha and Wat Chalong, and end with dinner along the beach road. Kata Beach, a neighbouring stretch of sand, offers a change of scene. Scooters and taxis are the usual ways to move between the beaches and temples, and Karon is a practical base for exploring the rest of the island.
