Karon is a long, sandy beach on Phuket's Andaman coast, with shops, restaurants and street-food stalls along the roads behind the sand. The area has an easygoing feel, with a night market and temples close to the beach. Phuket is Thailand's largest island and is joined to the mainland by a road bridge, so the coast is easy to explore by car, and the busiest nightlife is concentrated further along the coast in Patong.

Karon Beach is 250 m from the hotel, and the Karon Night Market is close by. Kata Beach, 2.7 km away along the coast road, is another sandy beach to explore. The Big Buddha, on a hill 3.1 km away, has wide views over the island, and Wat Chalong, 4.5 km away, is one of Phuket's most revered Buddhist temples.

A good day could start with a swim at Karon Beach, where you can also play beach volleyball or try water sports, and continue to Wat Chalong and the Big Buddha, both reached by road. In the evening, the Karon Night Market is a short stroll from the hotel for a look around the food stalls. The day can be split between the sea and the sights, since the beach is the first stop and the temples and the Big Buddha come after it.
