Nathon is the main town of Koh Samui and its ferry port, a working place where local shops, markets and small cafés line the streets. Travellers who want more of the island's everyday life than a resort strip will find it here, and the beaches of Lamai and Chaweng are a drive away. A clinic, a convenience store and cash machines are a short distance from the hotel.

Wat Samuthra Ram, a pagoda 300 m away, is the closest temple, and Nathon Pier Ko Samui, the ferry terminal, is 2.7 km away. Na Muang Waterfall, 7.6 km away, is one of the island's best-known cascades, and Lamai Beach lies 13.2 km away. Big Buddha, a large Buddha statue, is 15.2 km away on the island.

A good day could combine a walk to Na Muang Waterfall with an afternoon swim at Lamai Beach. Back at the resort, the private beach and the pools make a quiet end to the day, and the spa offers massage when you are back. The Coconut Museum is also close by for a visit before or after the waterfall. Lamai Beach, with its bars and restaurants along the road, is the place to go for an evening out after the day's sightseeing.
