Around Here
The hotel is located on Soi Ta-iad, that single odd mile long road which has become a world phenomenon in fitness tourism. Step out of the lobby and immediately find yourself standing on a street wholly devoted to pursuits for physical betterment: Muay Thai stadiums line the street with CrossFit boxes and yoga studios, shops selling gloves and supplements all amidst an atmosphere electrified by energy wherein from morning till night people can be seen jogging up or down hitting pads drinking coconuts after training sessions completed within any one establishment along this community stretch where everyone-from professional UFC fighters to first time weight loss beginners-interacts over cafesand shops.
Even though it is inland, the hotel provides easy access to some of Phuket’s most popular cultural attractions in the south. Just a five-minute drive-or for fitness enthusiasts, a run- away is Wat Chalong. The largest and most impressive Buddhist temple on the island also happens to be its spiritual heart. A complex of pagodas and gardens provides energy here as intense as that found on the streets but deeply spiritual. In the Nakkerd Hills above this lies Big Buddha; built from white marble sitting dramatically high yet visible across much of Phuket.
The area around the hotel forms a particular ‘health bubble’ different from Patong, which is lit up with neon lights and known for its bars. Nightlife here in this part of town focuses firmly on recovery and nutrition. Social life icons are within walking distance- ”The Shack” (steaks, protein), acai bowl cafes. However if your craving is sunset by the ocean raw beauty of Rawai Beach Nai Harn beach promenade[17] scooter accessible 15-20 minutes more laid back expat friendly vibe seafood restaurants right at the water’s edge perfect Sunday rest day.
