Karon is one of the main beach areas of Phuket, a long stretch of sand lined with restaurants, shops and small hotels. Along the roads behind the beach there are restaurants, shops and street-food stalls, and the Karon Night Market is close by, a good stop for food and local goods in the evening. Many of the area's evening plans start with a walk along the sand and end at one of the open-air restaurants behind it.

Karon Beach is 100 m from the resort. Patong Beach, a livelier beach town with bars and nightlife, is 2.9 km away, and Bangla Road, its nightlife street, is nearby. Big Buddha Phuket, a large Buddha statue on a hill, is 4.4 km away, and Chaithararam Temple, known as Wat Chalong, is 5.3 km away. Freedom Beach, a small quiet cove near Patong, is also worth a visit.

A day could start on Karon Beach, continue to Wat Chalong and Big Buddha, and end with dinner in Patong. Phuket International Airport is 28 km from the resort, and an airport transfer is offered. Phuket Town, with its old Sino-Portuguese shophouses and its Sunday walking street market, is a longer trip for an afternoon, and it makes a good change from a day on the sand.
