Thong Sala, the island’s port town, is 10.7 km from the resort. Guests describe the coast as uncrowded, with sea views from private balconies.

The resort also gives details for a shared car or taxi from Orion to the seafront in Thong Sala at 13:30, with private taxi arrangements available through the property.
