Karon Beach is a long sandy bay on Phuket, with hotels, restaurants and small shops lining the road behind the sand. It is an easygoing beach town, with food stalls and shops filling the side streets. The resort is on Karon Road, the sand is 250 m away, and the neighbouring Kata Beach is a short walk further along the coast.

Big Buddha Phuket, the large white statue on a hilltop, is 1.9 km away, and it is one of the best-known sights on the island. Chaithararam Temple, known as Wat Chalong, is 5 km away and is one of the most revered temples on Phuket. Patong Beach, a lively resort area with its nightlife on Bangla Road, is 6.5 km away. Phuket FantaSea, a theme park with an evening cultural show, is 14.5 km away.

Getting around the island is usually by car, scooter or taxi, as the main beaches and temples are spread along the roads, and the hotel has free parking on site. A good day could start at Big Buddha, continue to Wat Chalong, and end with a swim at Karon Beach followed by the Kata Walking Street Night Market. Street-food stalls and massage shops line the streets behind Karon Beach, so the evening is easy to fill.
