The setting is greener and calmer than the busy beach towns further south, and the sea is a short walk away on Bang Tao Beach, and the resort grounds give the area a calm, green character. Phuket International Airport is 12.5 km away, and the journey from the airport is by road.

Around the apartments, the Bang Tao Night Market is nearby, and Porto de Phuket, a shopping and dining complex by the Laguna marina, is close by. Laguna's golf courses and the marina sit within the same resort district, and the night market adds an evening option for dinner outside the apartments. Wat Choeng Thale is a pagoda about 2 km away, and Patong, the best-known beach resort town on the island, is 10.2 km away.

For a day out, the Big Buddha on the Nakkerd Hills, 19.1 km away, offers wide views over the island, while Bang Tao Beach is the easiest place for a slow afternoon by the water. A taxi or hire car is the practical way to reach the rest of the island from here.
