Local Attractions

Just a 10-minute walk from the resort, Jomtien Beach is the area’s main draw: a 6-kilometer stretch of soft golden sand ideal for long sunset strolls, swimming, and casual beachside massages. Water sports including parasailing, jet skiing, and paddleboarding are available along the shore for adventure seekers.

10 minutes away by car, Thepprasit Night Market is Jomtien’s most popular street food and shopping hub, open every Friday to Sunday evening. Browse affordable handmade souvenirs, clothing, and accessories, then sample local favorites like pad thai, grilled seafood, mango sticky rice, and fresh coconut ice cream at unbeatable prices.

For a fun day trip 15 minutes from the resort, Nong Nooch Tropical Botanical Garden is a world-famous 500-acre garden featuring meticulously themed zones, from a French formal garden to a tropical palm grove and cactus garden. Catch traditional Thai dance and elephant shows, or rent a bicycle to explore the sprawling grounds at your own pace.

Travel Tips

The resort is self-catering, so stop at a nearby 7-Eleven or Tesco Lotus on Thepprasit Road to stock up on groceries and snacks before settling in. Book stays during the dry season (November to February) to enjoy the best beach weather, though the pool is open year-round for visits in hotter months. Songthaew (local shared taxis) run regularly along Thepprasit Road to central Pattaya, making it easy to explore further afield, and free parking on-site is perfect if you rent a car or scooter for your trip.
