Chaweng is one of the best-known beach areas on Koh Samui, a long sweep of sand with a lively strip of restaurants, bars and shops behind it. Synergy Samui sits on Chaweng Beach, and the main sandy stretch, Chaweng Yai Beach, is 800 m away, so there is plenty of beach to explore on foot.

The Chaweng Walking Street is 300 m from the hotel, a short stroll for an evening out, and the Chaweng Night Market is also close by, so the streets stay lively after dark. Central Festival Samui, a large shopping centre, is 1.1 km away, and Samui Airport is 2.9 km from the hotel, so the airport is close to the hotel and the island's shops are easy to reach. Shops and bars line the Walking Street after dark.

For a day out, the hilltop Big Buddha, at 5.3 km, is one of the island's best-known landmarks, and the inland Na Muang Waterfall makes a good contrast with the beach. A day trip can combine the Buddha and the waterfall, then return to the sand for a swim before the evening. Both are easy to visit as day trips from the hotel, and the beach is never far when you return.
