Nearby Local Attractions

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

• Patong Beach: Phuket’s most famous stretch of sand is less than 10 minutes’ walk from the resort. Spend your day people-watching, trying fresh grilled seafood from beachside stalls, or joining a sunset catamaran cruise along the coast. After dark, explore the lively Bangla Road walking street for bars, night markets, and live music.
• Big Buddha Phuket: A 45-minute drive inland brings you to this 45-meter-tall marble statue perched atop Nakkerd Hill. The sweeping panoramic views of Phuket’s southern coast and the Andaman Sea are well worth the trip, and the peaceful temple grounds offer a quiet escape from Patong’s bustle.
• Promthep Cape: Phuket’s most iconic sunset viewpoint is a 40-minute drive from the resort. Watch the sky turn brilliant orange and pink over the ocean as fishing boats drift below, then stop at a nearby seaside restaurant for fresh Thai seafood dinner.

Travel Tips

Book your airport transfer through the resort for a stress-free arrival after your international flight. If you plan to explore the island on your own, take advantage of the resort’s complimentary parking, or book a rental car directly through the front desk. Ask about the resort’s paid happy hour for discounted drinks at the pool bar, and notify the kitchen in advance if you require any special dietary meals (available for an extra fee). For the best rates and room selection, book at least four weeks in advance during the peak November to February travel season.
