Karon is one of the main beach areas of Phuket, a lively coastal neighbourhood with restaurants, shops and a long stretch of sand. Tuana Hotels The Phulin Resort is 650 m from Karon Beach, and the area feels quieter at night than the busier Patong, 4.5 km away. Karon's shops and restaurants sit along the streets behind the sand, and the beach road stays busy well into the evening, with plenty of places to eat.

Around the resort, Wat Suwankiriket is 150 m away, and the Karon Temple Market and the Karon Night Market are a few hundred metres off, with evening stalls selling food and everyday goods. Kata Beach is another popular beach a short drive away, and the Chaithararam Temple, known as Wat Chalong, is in the Chalong area. Further afield, the Phuket Big Buddha, a large white seated Buddha on a hilltop, is 2.6 km from the hotel.

Phuket International Airport is 29.4 km from the resort, and longer trips are easiest by taxi or hired car, since the main sights are spread across the island. A good day can start with a swim at Karon Beach, continue with a visit to the Big Buddha, and finish at the Karon Night Market.
