Banburee Resort & All Spa Inclusive sits in the village area of Hua Thanon on Koh Samui, on Laem Set Road in Namuang. The surroundings are mostly villages, temples, a few gardens and waterfalls, and the island's better-known beaches are further away. The resort has its own private beach, so the sea is part of the stay itself. The area is quiet and village-like, with a slower pace than the island's busier beach areas, so most of the day can be spent between the resort, the temples and the gardens.

Laem Sor Pagoda and the Samui Butterfly Garden are both close by, and Buddha's Footprint Temple is 950 m away, so temples and gardens make up much of the sightseeing nearby. Lamai Beach, 5.2 km away, is a popular sandy beach on the island's east coast, and Na Muang Waterfall, 5.5 km away, lies in the interior. Samui Airport is 15.4 km away, and the resort offers an airport transfer.

A day out could combine the pagoda, the butterfly garden and Buddha's Footprint Temple, all nearby, with a stop at Na Muang Waterfall in the afternoon, and finish with a swim at the resort's own beach. For a day on a different stretch of sand, Lamai Beach on the east coast is the obvious choice.
