Patong is one of the busiest resort towns on Phuket's west coast, a bay-side district where hotels, bars, restaurants and markets sit close together. Prince Edouard Apartments & Resort is on Soi Prabaramee 3 in Patong, so guests can use the resort's own pools, spa and sauna between days out. Evenings here are lively, with restaurants and bars along the beach road and a wide choice of places to eat. Those who prefer quieter days can spend time at the pools before heading out after dark.

Patong Beach is 1.1 km away, and Bangla Road, the street known for its bars and nightlife, is 1.9 km away. Jungceylon Shopping Center, a large mall with shops and restaurants, and the night market, with its street food and stalls, make the area lively after dark.

Phuket International Airport is 22.7 km away, and an airport transfer is offered. For a day out, Chaithararam Temple, known as Wat Chalong, is one of the island's best-known Buddhist temples, and the Big Buddha on its hill, 8.9 km away, has wide views over the island before returning to Patong for the evening. Visiting both makes a full day out from the resort, and it leaves time to return to Patong for dinner.
