Khuk Khak Beach lies on the Andaman coast of Phang Nga province, and the sand is 40 m from the hotel. Life here is built around the beach, with the sea close by, and the forest national parks and the Tsunami Museum are reachable by road from the resort. Khao Lak's beaches follow one another along the coast, so a morning on the sand can easily be followed by a drive inland to the forest parks.

The Tsunami Museum is 4.1 km away and tells the story of the 2004 tsunami that struck this coast. Khao Lak Elephant Home is nearby, Bang Niang Beach is a further stretch of sand, and the Bang Niang village market is a short distance away. Phuket International Airport, 66.1 km away, is the closest airport.

A good day can begin at Bang Niang Beach and continue with a visit to Khao Lak-Lam Ru National Park, a forest park with hiking trails. Similan National Park, 14.1 km from the hotel, is reached by boat and is known for its islands and diving, while Koh Tapu, the limestone island in Phang Nga Bay, is a popular boat trip. Between excursions, the private beach and the pool offer a quiet place to rest.
