Kantary Bay Hotel Phuket sits on Cape Panwa, a headland on Phuket island with its own private beach. The shoreline around it holds Panwa Beach, 500 m away, and the Phuket Aquarium, 300 m away, while the Laem Panwa Viewpoint is right beside the hotel. Much of the appeal is simply being close to the water, with the rest of the island reached by road.

The island's better-known sights are further away. Chaithararam Temple, known as Wat Chalong, is one of Phuket's most important Buddhist temples and is 9 km from the hotel, while Patong Beach, the island's best-known beach resort, is 15.6 km away. Phuket International Airport is 35.7 km away, and a car or scooter makes the other beaches and temples easier to reach.

A good day here could begin on the private beach and continue with a visit to the Phuket Aquarium, followed by Wat Chalong and the Big Buddha, two of the island's best-known landmarks. Both are within a drive of the hotel, so the afternoon can be spent on the sea or exploring the temples. Staying on the headland keeps the day close to the water, with the temples a drive away and the aquarium a short walk.
