Karon is one of the main beach areas on Phuket's Andaman coast, a long stretch of sand with resorts, guesthouses, restaurants and shops along the road behind it. The resort is on Patak Road, and the beach is about 600 m away, so the sand and the sea are the main draw of the area. Shops, restaurants and bars line the roads close to the resort, so there is plenty to see without going far.

Nearby, Karon Noi Beach is a smaller beach beside Karon Beach, and the Golden Fisherman monument is 1.2 km away. For a longer trip, the Big Buddha is a large statue on a hilltop 4.8 km from the resort, and Wat Chalong, the best-known temple in southern Phuket, is 5.9 km away. Phuket International Airport is 28 km from the resort and is the closest airport.

A good day could begin with the Big Buddha and Wat Chalong, then continue to Patong Beach, which is known for its bars and clubs, and Bangla Road is the centre of the nightlife there. The island is crossed by road, so a car, a taxi or a hire car is the easiest way to reach the temples, and the airport is the main entry point for most visitors.
