Aspira Samui Hotels and Resorts is in Bo Phut, a former fishing village on Koh Samui that now mixes hotels, guesthouses and an evening street life. Its pace is calmer than Chaweng, the island's busiest beach, so visitors who want the island's sights without Chaweng's crowds will find the area well placed. The village is a practical place to stay for a few days of sightseeing and time by the pool.

Samui Elephant Sanctuary Bophut is 950 m away, an elephant sanctuary where visitors can meet the animals. The Fisherman's Village Bophut Walking Street, with its shops and evening restaurants, is part of the village's street life. Haad Bophut, the village beach, is 2.7 km away, and Big Buddha, a large statue on a hilltop, is 3.6 km away. Samui Airport is 2.2 km from the hotel, so arriving by air is straightforward.

A day could start at the elephant sanctuary, continue with a visit to Big Buddha, and end with an evening at the Walking Street. Chaweng Yai Beach and Chaweng Noi Beach are the choice for a long beach day, and a car or scooter is useful for reaching them, as the beaches along the coast are spread out.
