Local Attractions

Three nearby attractions make this location unbeatable:

• Jomtien Beach: A 10-minute walk from the resort, this 6-kilometer stretch of soft golden sand is far less crowded than Pattaya Beach, ideal for long morning walks, sunbathing, or casual parasailing and jet ski rides. Local food stalls line the shore serving fresh grilled seafood and cold Thai iced tea for just a few dollars.
• Thepprasit Night Market: Only 1.5 kilometers from the resort, this famous open-air market runs from Friday to Sunday, offering everything from handcrafted souvenirs and cheap clothing to authentic street food like pad thai and mango sticky rice. It’s the best place in the area to bargain for unique gifts and experience local nightlife.
• Nong Nooch Tropical Garden: A 20-minute drive from the resort, this world-famous 500-acre botanical garden features themed gardens, traditional Thai cultural dance and elephant shows, and stunning hilltop views of the Gulf of Thailand. It’s perfect for a full day of family-friendly exploration.

Travel Tips

Book a pool-view room on a lower floor for easy access to the pools—upper floor rooms require stair access in some sections of the property. The airport shuttle from U-Tapao Pattaya International Airport costs far less than a private taxi when booked through the front desk. If you plan to explore the area, rent a motorbike from a local shop near the resort for around 150 baht per day—parking is free on-site. Finally, note that towels and extra linens incur a small additional fee, so bring your own beach towel if you plan to spend the day at Jomtien Beach to avoid extra charges.
