Khao Lak is a stretch of Thailand's Andaman coast in Phang Nga province, where sandy beaches run below forested hills and national parks. Isara Khao Lak sits in the Bangsak Beach area, where the sea and the forest are the main draw for a stay, with beaches close by and inland waterfalls to visit. The hotel has its own private beach for swimming.

Bangsak Beach is 1.5 km away, and the Sairung Waterfall is 700 m away. Further afield, Khao Lak-Lam Ru National Park has forest trails and waterfalls, 13.5 km from the hotel, and Rainbow Waterfall and the Khao Lak Elephant Home are also nearby. Phuket International Airport is the nearest airport, 70.8 km away, and the last stretch to Khao Lak is by road. The Khao Lak Bus Station is also on the road for onward travel.

A day trip often starts at Similan National Park, 19.3 km away, whose islands are reached by boat from the Khao Lak coast. Boat trips there follow the park's seasonal opening, since it closes for part of the year, so the plan depends on the season. Inland, the Big Buddha Temple and Ton Chong Fa Waterfall are other ways to spend a day out.
