Ban Haad Sai is set in Bo Phut, a bay on Koh Samui with a fishing-village history, and the sand at Hat Bang Rak is 50 m from the villas. The area blends a working harbour with a row of shops and eateries, so the beach and some evening life are both close by. Koh Samui is a large island with several villages, and Bo Phut is one of the smaller ones, where the pace is slower than in the busier resort areas.

Samui Airport is on the island, about 1.4 km away, and an airport transfer is offered. The Big Buddha, a large statue that is one of the island's best-known landmarks, and the Samui Elephant Sanctuary Bophut are both reached by road. The Fisherman's Village Bophut Walking Street, about 2.5 km away, and the Bophut Food Market are the places to go for shopping and food in the evening.

A day could begin at Hat Bang Rak with a swim, continue with a visit to the Big Buddha and the elephant sanctuary, and finish at the Fisherman's Village walking street for dinner. A night market is also nearby, so the day can carry on into the evening, and a dive centre is close to the property for those who want to go diving.
