Arita House is in Patong, the best-known beach resort on Phuket and a busy part of the island. Patong combines beach life with street-food stalls and massage shops along its roads.Patong Beach is 350 m away, and Bangla Road, the street of bars and clubs, is 400 m from the hotel. The beach and the nightlife are close by, and the bars, restaurants and night markets of the area stay busy into the evening.

The Patong Boyz Town attraction and the night market are part of the same lively streets, and the Jungceylon Shopping Center is a short distance away. For a wider look at the island, Chaithararam Temple (Wat Chalong), one of Phuket's most important Buddhist temples, is 6.9 km away, and the Big Buddha, a large white statue on a hilltop, is 7.8 km away. Taxis are the usual way to reach the temples and the beaches from Patong, and Phuket International Airport is 23.9 km from the hotel.

A good day could start on Patong Beach, continue to Wat Chalong and the Big Buddha in the hills above it, and finish at the night market in Patong. Phuket Town is a longer trip from Patong and works better as a separate outing.
