Sandy House sits in Rawai, a fishing village at the southern end of Phuket, where the pace is slower than in the busier resort areas of the island. Local life here centres on fishing and the boats that go out from the harbour, and the streets around the hotel are generally quiet. The area mixes a working harbour with Buddhist temples and a stretch of sandy coast, and it suits guests who want to be near the sea without being in the middle of the nightlife. Ra Wai Beach lies 300 m from the hotel.

Around the hotel, the Rawai fish market sits near the fishing boats, and Rawai Pier is 650 m away, the point for boats to the nearby islands. Phuket International Airport is 37.3 km away, and most sights on the island are reached by road. Big Buddha Phuket, on a hill with wide views over the island, is 5.8 km away, and Chaithararam Temple (Wat Chalong), one of the island's most revered temples, is 8 km away.

A good day could begin with a swim at Ra Wai Beach and a walk through the Rawai fish market, then continue with Big Buddha for the views and Wat Chalong in the afternoon. Nai Harn Beach, a bay with a lagoon, can be reached further along the coast for a swim.
