The area suits a beach holiday with some activity, and surfing and scuba diving are available nearby, while the island's main sights can be reached by road.

Kata Beach is 1.5 km away, and the Big Buddha, a large statue on a hilltop, is 900 m from the hotel. The Buddhist temple of Wat Kitti Sangkharam is 750 m away, a short visit before a day at the beach. The Kata Walking Street Night Market is 1.7 km away and makes an easy evening out after a swim. Phuket International Airport is 32.5 km away.

A morning at the Big Buddha and the temple can be followed by an afternoon swim at Kata Beach, and surfing and scuba diving are available in the area for those who want more time on the water. Back at the hotel, the outdoor pool and the sauna offer a quieter way to end the day. For a livelier night out, Bangla Road in Patong is the island's best-known nightlife strip, a different kind of evening from the Kata night market.
