Chalong Miracle Lakeview Resort & Spa is in Chalong, in southern Phuket, a quieter area centred on the bay of the same name and more residential than the beach towns of the west coast. The resort sits beside a lake with gardens around it, and the local temple and the neighbourhood's markets are close enough to combine in a single day.

Wat Chalong, the best-known Buddhist temple complex on the island, is 1 km away, and the Phuket Botanic Garden is close by. The Big Buddha stands on a hill 4.2 km away, and Chalong Pier, a ferry terminal, is used for boat trips to the islands. The resort offers car hire, a taxi service and an airport transfer, and Phuket International Airport is 28.6 km away.

A good day could start at Wat Chalong and the botanic garden, then continue to the Big Buddha and an afternoon at Karon Beach, a long sandy beach. For a more active day, several Muay Thai gyms are nearby, and a golf course is close to the resort. Phuket Old Town, known for its Sino-Portuguese shophouses, is reached by road, while Phuket FantaSea, a large theme park and show venue, is farther off in Kamala and makes a separate evening out.
