Khao Lak lies on the Andaman coast of Phangnga province in southern Thailand, where the sea meets forested hills. The hotel is a short walk from Bangsak Beach, and the national parks and waterfalls of the area are reachable by road. Khao Lak has long been a base for beach stays and trips out to the islands.

White Sand Beach lies further along the coast, and the Khao Lak Elephant Home is among the sights close to the hotel. Inland, Ton Chong Fa Waterfall is 11.5 km away, and Khao Lak-Lam Ru National Park is 14.7 km from the hotel. Getting around is by road: Phuket International Airport is 72 km away on Phuket island, and the Khao Lak Bus Station is 7.7 km from the hotel.

A day could take in Ton Chong Fa Waterfall and the national park before returning to the beach. Rainbow Waterfall is close to the hotel, so it makes a natural first stop for a day out, and the beach is never far from the road back. Similan National Park, 20.5 km away, is known for its reefs and is reached by boat, and boat trips depend on the sea conditions, which change through the year.
