Location & what to see
Karon is a long, sandy bay on the Andaman Sea side of Phuket, and it is a more relaxed base than Patong, which is known for its nightlife. Karon Beach is 100 m from the resort. The beach road has street-food stalls, massage shops and dive operators, so the area has a lively but easygoing feel. Because the sand is so close, a walk along the bay fits easily into any day here.
Kata Beach, the next bay along, is 650 m away, and the Kata Walking Street Night Market is nearby. The Big Buddha, a hilltop statue of the Buddha, is 1.9 km away, and Patong Beach, known for its nightlife, is 6.2 km away. Most sights further afield are reached by road, and Phuket International Airport (HKT) is 31.3 km away.
A good day could start on Karon Beach and continue to the Big Buddha in the afternoon, then to Chaithararam Temple (Wat Chalong), one of the island's most revered temples. In the evening, Phuket FantaSea is a theme park with a large cultural show, and the Kata night market is a short trip from the bay. Patong's beaches and nightlife are a short drive away for those who want a busier evening, while the resort stays quieter.
