Casa DEL M Phuket is in Patong, one of the best-known resort areas of Phuket island, where the beach, the restaurants, the shops and the bars sit close together. The hotel is on Prabaramee Road in Kathu, and the streets around it mix hotels, small shops and street-food stalls with the lively roads that run towards the sand.

Patong Beach is 1.1 km away, and the Jungceylon Shopping Center is 1.6 km away. Bangla Road, the street of bars and nightlife, is a short distance off. Chaithararam Temple, known as Wat Chalong, is 7.2 km away, and Big Buddha Phuket, a large seated statue on a hilltop, is 8.6 km away. The hotel runs a daily shuttle bus to Patong Beach at no additional charge, so the sand is easy to reach without a taxi.

A good day could begin at the Big Buddha and the temple of Wat Chalong, then return to Patong for an afternoon on the sand at Patong Beach and an evening on Bangla Road. When the heat or the crowds are too much, the swimming pool, the library and the garden offer a quieter place to spend the afternoon at the hotel itself, and the hotel's own setting is calm compared with the busier streets outside.
