Karon is one of the main beach areas of Phuket, a long sandy bay lined with hotels, shops and street-food stalls along the road behind the sand. Paradox Resort Phuket is 80 m from the beach, so the sea is a short walk from the rooms, and the streets behind the sand have restaurants, bars and a gym.

Phuket International Airport is 29.6 km away and is the nearest airport. Phuket Town, the island's main town, lies further inland and is reached by road from Karon. Kata Beach, Karon Noi Beach and Patong, with Bangla Road and Jungceylon Shopping Center, are other places to explore from Karon. Kata Open Market, 2.4 km away, is an open-air market in the bay next to Karon. Phuket Big Buddha, the large statue on its hilltop, is 2.9 km away, and Chaithararam Temple (Wat Chalong), one of the island's best-known temples, is 4.6 km away.

A good day can combine a morning on Karon Beach with a visit to the Big Buddha, then an evening at Karon Night Market, which is close to the resort. Wat Suwan Khiri Khet, a temple close by, is also worth a short visit before or after the beach.
