The Ananas Serviced Apartments is in Karon, in the Kata area on Phuket's Andaman coast. The neighbourhood is a relaxed seaside stretch with guesthouses, restaurants and small shops, and it is a calmer alternative to busy Patong. Kata Beach is 1 km away, and Karon Beach is also close by.

Around the hotel, Phuket Big Buddha is 1.1 km away, a large white marble statue on the Nakkerd Hills and one of the island's best-known landmarks. Chaithararam Temple (Wat Chalong) is 4.4 km away and is one of the most revered Buddhist temples on Phuket. Patong Beach, the island's busiest beach with the nightlife of Bangla Road, is 7.8 km away by road, and Phuket International Airport is 32.5 km away. Getting around usually means a taxi or a hire car, so the hotel's taxi service and car hire are useful.

A good day out could start at the Big Buddha, continue to Wat Chalong, and finish with dinner and a walk along the sand at Kata or Karon. Phuket Town, the island's capital, is a drive away and has old Sino-Portuguese shophouses to explore. Kata Beach and Karon Beach are the easiest choices for an evening stroll after the temples.
