Local Attractions

Just a 10-minute walk from the resort, Jomtien Beach stretches 6 kilometers along the coast, with calm shallow waters ideal for swimming, and plenty of vendors renting jet skis, paddleboards, and beach umbrellas. Sunset strolls along the paved promenade are a local favorite, with dozens of street food stalls serving fresh grilled seafood and pad thai steps from the sand.

15 minutes from the resort by car, Nong Nooch Tropical Garden is one of Chonburi’s most iconic attractions, spanning 500 acres of meticulously manicured themed gardens, from French formal landscapes to tropical orchid nurseries. Don’t miss the daily cultural dance and elephant shows, or the elevated viewpoint overlooking the entire property.

For a dose of culture and shopping, Thepprasit Night Market is just a 5-minute drive from the resort. Open Friday through Sunday, this sprawling market sells everything from cheap handmade souvenirs and beachwear to authentic Thai street food, with live music performances on weekend evenings.

Travel Tips

Book your stay during the dry season (November to February) for the most reliable beach and pool weather, though the resort’s pool rain shelters mean even brief monsoon showers (May to October) won’t ruin your day. If you plan to explore outside Jomtien, book a grab taxi or rent a motorbike (with a valid license) for easy travel into central Pattaya, 15 minutes away. Note that towels and extra bed linens incur a small extra fee, so bring your own beach towel if you want to avoid this charge. Finally, if you’re traveling with kids, request a pool-side ground floor room for quick access to the water slide and children’s play area.
