Nearby Local Attractions

Three unmissable local spots are just a short drive from the resort:

• Chalong Temple (Wat Chalong): Phuket’s largest and most revered Buddhist temple, just 10 minutes away. Wander the gilded pagodas, watch local worshippers leave offerings, and climb to the top of the main stupa for panoramic views over Chalong Bay.
• Big Buddha Phuket: A 10-minute drive up the hill from the resort, this 45-meter-tall marble statue sits atop Nakkerd Hill, sweeping views of the Andaman Sea and Phuket’s southern coast. Dress modestly (cover shoulders and knees) and arrive before 9 a.m. to avoid crowds and catch soft golden light over the water.
• Chalong Pier: 15 minutes from the resort, this working pier is the departure point for day trips to the Phi Phi Islands, Maiton Island, and the secluded bays of Phang Nga Bay. It’s also a great spot to wander, watch local fishermen unload their daily catch, and grab cheap, fresh street seafood at nearby stalls.

Travel Tips

Book a pool-view villa for early morning dips right from your terrace, and request a ground-floor unit if you’re traveling with young children or anyone with limited mobility. The resort is a 45-minute drive from Phuket International Airport; pre-book the resort’s paid airport transfer for a hassle-free arrival. For meals, walk 5 minutes down Soi Ta-Aid to find local street food stalls serving authentic Thai curries and fresh fruit for a fraction of resort restaurant prices. Leave 10 minutes early when heading to day trip departures from Chalong Pier, as local roads can get busy with tourist traffic during peak season (November to February).
