Bang Thao is a residential part of Phuket, where villas and holiday homes sit away from the busiest resort streets. Shambhala Grand Villa By Cozy Lake is set in this quieter part of the island, which suits a stay that is not centred on the nightlife of the big resort beaches. Nearby are long stretches of sand, temples and local markets, and the days can be spent at the pool and the garden or out exploring.

Bang Tao Beach is 2.2 km away, and a night market is close by, with the Buddhist temple of Wat Choeng Thale 1.2 km away. Phuket International Airport is 12.5 km away, so guests reach the villa by road from the airport. Further afield, the hilltop Big Buddha is 19.1 km away and is one of the island's best-known landmarks.

A day could begin with a swim in the outdoor pool, continue with a visit to Wat Choeng Thale and a walk through the local markets, and spend the afternoon on Bang Tao Beach, where the sand runs for a long stretch before the evening at the market. The evening can end at the night market, which is close by and offers a lively place to eat and browse.
