The property is in the Old Town area of Koh Lanta, the island off the Andaman coast of Krabi province in southern Thailand. The Old Town has a village feel, with shrines, a community museum and the harbour close by, and the island's long beaches lie a longer trip away by road.

Within a few hundred metres you will find the Maha Katyayana Shrine and the Koh Lanta Community Museum, while Wat Koh Lanta, a Buddhist temple, is about 500 m away. Khao Mai Kaew Cave is 2.4 km away, and Mu Ko Lanta National Park lies 7.1 km away. Koh Lanta has no bridge, so the last stretch of the journey is by ferry or boat from the mainland, and the crossing ends at the island's own pier.

A good day could begin with the shrines and the community museum in the Old Town, then continue to Khao Mai Kaew Cave and the national park, and end on Long Beach, which is 9.6 km away. Swimming, snorkelling and boat trips from the property's own private beach fill the rest of the day, and the Old Town shrines and museum are an easy walk from the property, so the day can start and end without a long journey.
