Nicky's Handlebar Hotel is in Patong, the best-known beach resort area on Phuket, and Patong Beach is 450 m away. The streets around the hotel fill up in the evening, with night markets, bars and shops along the main roads. The area suits guests who want the beach, shopping and nightlife close at hand rather than a quiet base. Patong Beach is the reference point for most of the sights nearby, so the sand and the sea are never far from the hotel's entrance.

Bangla Road, Patong's nightlife street, and the Jungceylon Shopping Center are both about a kilometre from the hotel. For a change of scene, Phuket FantaSea, a cultural theme park with an evening show, is 6.3 km away, and Wat Chalong, the most revered temple complex on the island, is 7.2 km away. The Big Buddha statue stands on a hilltop a little farther on, and Karon Beach offers a different stretch of sand further along the coast.

A day could start with a swim at Patong Beach, continue to Wat Chalong and the Big Buddha, and end at the Banzaan Fresh Market, a night market in Patong. The hotel offers car hire and tours for trips further afield.
