Naithon Beach is a calm stretch of sand in the Thalang district of Phuket, away from the busier resort areas around Patong and Kata. The beach is a short walk from the hotel, and the quieter setting suits a stay built around the sea and the pool rather than the nightlife of the south of the island. Small shops and street-food stalls line the roads near the coast, and the pace of life is gentler than in the resort towns.

Nai Yang Beach is 3 km away, and Sirinat National Park protects a stretch of coast close by. Layan Beach is 2.7 km away and Bang Tao Beach 4.4 km, while Phuket FantaSea, a cultural show venue in Kamala, is 11.3 km from the hotel. The Thalang Victory Monument, which commemorates the defence of Thalang town in 1785, stands in the district town itself.

A day here could start with a swim at Naithon Beach, continue with a visit to Big Buddha Phuket, the large white statue on a hilltop with views over the island, and finish with dinner at the hotel restaurant. Each beach on the coast has its own pace, so an afternoon at Nai Yang or Layan makes a good change from the hotel grounds.
