Centara Grand Beach Resort Phuket is on Karon Beach on Phuket’s west coast, with beachfront grounds and green hills behind the buildings. Karon Beach is 100 m away, and Karon Noi Beach is 1.2 km away. Patak Road runs behind the beachfront property, with dining and shops around Karon. Wat Suwan Khiri Khet and the nearby market provide a temple visit and a local shopping stop beyond the shoreline. The resort’s water park and pools sit within the grounds, keeping swimming, beach time and family activities close together.

Phuket International Airport is 27.1 km away, with a drive of about 45 minutes. The resort’s airport shuttle is available at an additional cost. Phuket Bus Terminal is 11.9 km away, and free private parking is available on site without a reservation. The resort is 11.2 km from Phuket Town, so visits to its Old Town are a separate outing rather than a walk from the beachfront. Patak Road provides road access to the resort.

Wat Suwan Khiri Khet and Karon Temple Market are both 1.4 km away, while Karon Night Market is 1.7 km away. Freedom Beach is 2.4 km away for another coastal outing. On site, you can use the water-sport facilities, snorkel or dive, play tennis, take a cooking class or join a movie night. The resort’s garden, terraces and play spaces also give families places to spend time between visits to the beach and nearby markets.
