Choeng Mon is a quiet part of Koh Samui, centred on a village and a bay, which suits guests who want a calm base on the island. Koh Samui sits in the Gulf of Thailand, off the mainland province of Surat Thani, and Samui Airport is on the island itself, so the trip from the airport to the resort does not need a boat.

Choeng Mon Beach is 650 m away and is the nearest beach to the resort. Wat Plai Laem, a Buddhist temple, is 1.5 km away, and the Big Buddha, a large hilltop statue in the Bophut area, is 2.2 km away. Fisherman's Village in Bophut is a neighbourhood of shops and lanes to explore, and Samui Airport (USM) is 3.3 km from the resort.

A day can combine the resort's water activities, such as canoeing, snorkelling and non-motorised water sports, with a visit to Na Muang Waterfall, which is 14.9 km away in the island's interior. The Big Buddha and Fisherman's Village can be added to the same day, and the resort's pools and spa give guests a place to rest afterwards. Car hire and the shuttle service on site can cover the longer trips, as the island is served by a network of roads.
