Ban Kaew Villas is in Bo Phut, a former fishing village on Samui Ring Road, where the streets are lined with small shops, cafés and street-food stalls. The beach is 550 m from the hotel, so a swim or an evening stroll along the sand is a short walk away. Bo Phut offers a village atmosphere with the sea close at hand.

Fisherman's Village, 400 m from the hotel, is a waterfront area of shops and restaurants along a walking street. The Bophut Food Market and Wat Bo Phut, a Buddhist temple, are both 100 m away, so both can be reached on foot. Big Buddha, a large hilltop statue, is a short drive away, and Lompraya Pier is also close by for anyone exploring the coast on foot or by road.

The hotel offers car hire, a shuttle service and tours, so the rest of the island is simple to reach. Big Buddha is an easy first visit, and Na Muang Waterfall, 10.4 km away, makes a fuller day trip with a car. A day can start at the hilltop statue and end with dinner by the water in the village. Samui Airport, 3.5 km away, is the nearest airport for arrivals.
