Serenity Lakeside Resort is in Kathu, a district of Phuket, the largest island in Thailand and a major holiday destination on the Andaman Sea. The island is linked to the mainland by a bridge, so the west coast beaches can be reached by road, and the hotel's garden and lake-view rooms make it a green base for a holiday here.

Patong, Phuket's best-known beach resort, is 3.6 km from the hotel, and Jungceylon Shopping Center, 4.1 km away, is one of its main shopping centres. Two animal attractions are close by: the Elephant Jungle Sanctuary Phuket, 400 m away, and Tiger Kingdom, 1 km away. Car hire and a taxi service are offered at the hotel, and the airport transfer is a useful option for arrival.

A good day out can combine the Big Buddha Phuket, 10 km away, with an afternoon at the elephant sanctuary or Tiger Kingdom, and the Phuket FantaSea cultural theme park is also in the area. In the evening, Bangla Road, Patong's lively nightlife street, is a short way from the beach. Back at the hotel, the garden is a quiet place to finish the day after an outing to a temple or a viewpoint on the island.
