Naithon sits in Thalang district on Phuket, a quieter corner of the island than the busy beaches around Patong. The coast here has small bays and sandy stretches, and the pace is slower than in the busier resort areas. Phuket's main sights, from the temples to the big beaches, are reached by road from here. The quiet setting suits a stay built around the pool and the villa itself.

Naithon Beach is 100 m from the property, and Nai Thon Beach is 350 m away, both on this stretch of coast. Nai Yang Beach, 3.5 km away, runs alongside Sirinat National Park, and Phuket FantaSea, a large cultural theme park with evening shows, is one of the island's better known attractions. Nai Yang Beach makes a natural half-day outing for those staying here.

Patong Beach, 16.5 km away, is the busiest beach on the island, with bars and nightlife. Phuket International Airport is 7 km away, and an airport transfer is offered. A good day could start with a swim at Nai Yang Beach, then continue to Chaithararam Temple (Wat Chalong), one of the most revered temples on Phuket. Back at the property, the spa, the sauna and the indoor pool offer a quieter end to the day.
