Kata is a sandy bay on the Phuket coast, with a mix of hotels, cafés and small shops along the road that runs behind the beach. It is calmer than Patong, the island's busiest beach town, and works well for a relaxed stay built around the sand and the sea.

Kata Beach is about 700 m from the hotel, and Karon Beach lies on the next bay along, so both are easy to reach for an afternoon swim. Big Buddha Phuket, a large white seated Buddha statue on a hilltop, is 1.2 km away, and the Chaithararam Temple, better known as Wat Chalong, is 4.5 km away and is one of the most important temples on the island. Phuket International Airport, the nearest airport, is 31.8 km from the hotel. Krabi International Airport is a much longer journey away on the mainland, so most guests fly into Phuket.

The hotel has a taxi service, and free parking is available for guests who drive. A good day could start on Kata Beach, continue to Big Buddha Phuket in the afternoon, and finish at the Kata Night Market, which is 450 m away. For a livelier evening, Patong Beach is the busier choice.
