Pai Tan Villas sits in Bang Thao, on the sandy stretch of Bang Tao Beach, a long beach with a mix of resorts, small restaurants and local shops on the roads behind the sand. The area is calm and suited to a beach holiday with an easy pace, with the busier nightlife of Patong a drive away.

Bang Tao Beach is 200 m away, and Phuket International Airport is 14.2 km away, with an airport transfer offered by the resort. Phuket FantaSea, the cultural theme park with an evening show, is nearby, and Bang Tao Night Market, 1.3 km away, is an evening market with food and shopping stalls. Pansea Beach and Surin Beach are also close, both sandy beaches along the same coast.

A good day could start on Bang Tao Beach, then continue to Chaithararam Temple (Wat Chalong), one of the island's most revered temples, and on to Big Buddha Phuket, the large seated statue on a hilltop 17.7 km from the resort. For a livelier evening, Patong Beach is 8.7 km away, with the island's best-known nightlife. Phuket Old Town, with its Sino-Portuguese shophouses and cafés, is also a drive away for an afternoon of wandering through the island's historic centre.
