Khao Lak is a stretch of the Phangnga coast on Thailand's Andaman Sea, where a long sandy beach runs past modest hotels, small restaurants and hills covered in national park forest. It is a quieter alternative to the big resorts of Phuket, and the village of Bang Niang, with its afternoon market and street-food stalls, sits close to the beach.

The Tsunami Museum, 750 m from the hotel, tells the story of the December 2004 tsunami that devastated this coast, and Bang Niang Beach is 1.2 km away. Inland, Khao Lak-Lam Ru National Park covers forested hills with waterfalls, and Ton Chong Fa is one of the best-known waterfalls. Phuket International Airport is 62.9 km away, and Khao Lak Bus Station is 1.5 km from the hotel. A car or motorbike makes the waterfalls and the park easier to reach, since they are spread out across the district.

A good day could begin at the Tsunami Museum, followed by an afternoon on Bang Niang Beach or a visit to a waterfall in the hills. Boat trips to the Similan Islands leave from the coast, and Similan National Park is 11.3 km from the hotel; these trips run only part of the year.
