The hostel sits on Klong Dao Beach on Koh Lanta, an island in Krabi province in the Andaman Sea, where life is organised around the sand and a small number of roads. The area is for people who want a relaxed beach stay rather than a busy town, and the sea is the main attraction from the first morning. Both Klong Dao Beach and Kaw Kwang Beach are within walking distance of the hostel, so the sand is the easiest part of the day to reach.

Kaw Kwang Beach is 150 m away, and Kantiang Bay is 900 m away, a bay with beach access that is one of the quieter spots on the coast. Sala Dan Pier, the ferry terminal where boats from the mainland arrive, is 1.7 km away and is the main way on to the island for most visitors.

For a day out, Mu Ko Lanta National Park is 20.2 km away, a protected marine park with islands and beaches that is worth a full day. Khao Mai Kaew Cave is 12.6 km away, and the island's interior is a good change of scene after a few days of sand and sea. Mu Ko Lanta National Park is a protected marine area, so the boat trips and the walks along the coast make a full day out.
