Naithon is a quiet part of Thalang district on Phuket island, a shoreline area where Andaman White Beach Resort sits close to the smaller Nai Thon Noi Beach, with the longer Naithon Beach a little further along the shore. The area is calmer than the busiest parts of the island, so it suits guests who want a beach stay, with the nightlife of Patong a longer drive away. Most sights are reached by road, and Phuket's airport is the usual arrival point for travellers.

Nearby sights include Phuket FantaSea, a large cultural theme park with an evening show, and Chaithararam Temple, known as Wat Chalong, one of Phuket's most revered Buddhist temples. Big Buddha, a large seated statue on Nakkerd Hills, has views across the island. Phuket International Airport is 7.8 km away, and Patong Beach, the island's best-known beach, is 15.7 km away, with the Bangla Road nightlife.

A good day could start with Big Buddha and Wat Chalong in the morning, then return to the resort for a swim and a spa treatment. Snorkelling and canoeing are offered at the resort, and For a day on the sand, Nai Yang Beach is a drive away, and the resort's own private beach is the simplest choice.
