Khao Phanom is a hilly, forested area in Krabi province, away from the coast and the busier beach towns. It has a quieter character than the coast, with mountains, waterfalls and limestone caves, and it is a good match for guests who want to spend time outdoors. The resort sits at the foot of Phanom Bencha Mountain, so the forest and hills are close by, and the national park named after the mountain is the main draw for day walks.

Khao Phanom Bencha National Park is 4.2 km away, and Tiger Cave Temple (Wat Tham Suea), a hilltop temple reached by a long staircase, is 9.2 km away. Krabi International Airport is 12.9 km away, and the Ao Nang beaches are 23.1 km away. The resort itself offers an airport transfer and a shuttle service, and tours can be arranged for trips to the coast.

A good day can combine the national park and its waterfalls with a visit to Tiger Cave Temple in the afternoon. For the sea, Ao Nang is the main beach town to head to, and Railay, with its limestone cliffs, is reached from there by longtail boat. The change from the forested hills to the limestone coast gives the day a clear shift in scenery.
