Bangtao Beach Chalet is in Bang Thao, the part of Phuket where Bang Tao Beach runs as a long, sandy shore lined with resorts. The sea is 100 m from the property, so beach days are easy to plan. The area has a calmer feel than the busiest resort towns on the island. Travellers who want a relaxed holiday, with a mix of beach time and short trips out to markets, temples and other beaches, will find it a good fit.

Near the hotel, the Bang Tao Night Market is 1.2 km away, with evening stalls selling food and everyday goods. Pansea Beach and Surin Beach are a few kilometres further along the coast, both sandy and worth a visit for a change of scene. Patong Beach, known for its nightlife, is 8.8 km away, while Phuket International Airport is 14.1 km away.

A day could start with a swim at Bang Tao Beach, continue with a visit to Wat Chalong, the best-known Buddhist temple on Phuket, and finish with dinner at the night market. Big Buddha, a large statue on a hill, is a longer trip from here, while Phuket FantaSea, a theme park with cultural shows, is nearby for an evening out.
