Karon is a beach district on Phuket, built around a long bay of sand, with shops, street stalls and small hotels on the roads running back from the shore. Several small temples are scattered through the area. It is a good fit for travellers who want the sea close at hand with a little less nightlife than Patong.

The hotel is 600 m from Karon Beach, and the Karon Night Market, with stalls selling food and goods in the evening, is 250 m away. For temples, Chaithararam Temple, known as Wat Chalong, is 4.1 km away, and Big Buddha Phuket, a large seated statue on a hilltop, is 2.6 km away. Patong Beach and Bangla Road are a longer drive away, and Phuket International Airport is 29.5 km from the hotel, so a car is useful for day trips. There is free parking on site.

A good day could start with a swim at Karon Beach, continue to Big Buddha and Wat Chalong, and end at the Karon Night Market among the evening stalls. Kata Beach and Nai Harn Beach are both further along the coast if you want another bay for the afternoon. Both are reached by road from Karon.
