The hotel

Set on the northern end of Samui’s stunning Chaweng Beach, the Amari Koh Samui is a laid-back and elegant resort offering a great range of accommodation for couples and families with traditional Thai-style buildings, set beside the ocean or within beautiful tropical gardens. Water sports are offered in abundance including an in-house dive centre for those eager to explore beneath the waves. Alternatively, relax beside one of two magnificent swimming pools, one facing the sea, the other in the heart of the Thai village. The children have their own pool to splash about in whilst parents chill in the Jacuzzi. Keep up your fitness routine in the gym, fully-equipped with exercise equipment or treat yourself to a pampering massage at Breeze, the quintessential spa experience. Amari’s signature all-day restaurant serves Asian and International dishes with a healthy side of sublime sea views. There’s also Prego for gourmet food with an Italian twist and Amaya Bar sunset cocktails.

We loved the Amari it has probably the best breakfast we have ever had. The pools were great with another one due to open just after we left. We had one of the family rooms with the mezzanine which was great, lots of space.You are close enough to chewang to visit but far enough away to be more peaceful and relaxed and that end of the beach was… Read more
We loved the Amari it has probably the best breakfast we have ever had. The pools were great with another one due to open just after we left. We had one of the family rooms with the mezzanine which was great, lots of space.You are close enough to chewang to visit but far enough away to be more peaceful and relaxed and that end of the beach was good for swimming if you walked along a bit to the sand spit. We also had several great meals notably Prego the attached Italian. It wasn't cheap but the food and service was top notch. Also just down the beach under the trees we had a great meal and nighty fire show very good. We would come back in a hart beat. Read less

Our family have been enjoying our holidays together over the last 13 years at Amari! It’s a great location for family to share a holiday together. Facilities are nice and it is situated right on the beach. The beach unfortunately is not the clean crystal waters expected but it is quieter than elsewhere.

As first time visitors to Ko Samui we couldn’t have chosen a better resort for our holiday of 10 nights.

As first time visitors to Ko Samui we couldn’t have chosen a better resort for our holiday of 10 nights. The pick up from the Koh Samui airport and check in was a breeze with helpful and welcoming staff. We chose a pool view room in the Thai Village Wing. The room was spacious, had a very comfortable king size bed and a delightful private verandah overlooking one of the two pools. To access reception, breakfast/dining and the main pool you needed to cross the road, this was a bit of theatre with an attendant on duty to flag the traffic to a stop, always with a smile. The staff were a delight, to be greeted by Penn each morning for breakfast was so nice, felt like we had been going there for years. The breakfast selection is huge and good quality food and coffee. Great to relax in and by the pool in comfortable sun lounges under red umbrellas overlooking either the pool or the beach. The “buy one/get one” cocktails each day a great way to sample something different. Neung was a dynamo with this poolside service, nothing was any trouble. We went out mostly for dinner but when we ate at the resort it was excellent, particularly the hamburger if you want a change from the Thai or Indian cuisine. There’s a lot of local food choices nearby for e.g. Your Place on the beach and The Natien a few minutes walk away. A taxi drive away is the fabulous The Cliff Restaurant. Fisherman’s Wharf is well worth a visit for the market, including food stalls and very cheap cocktails. Highly recommend this resort for a very restful holiday. There’s plenty of activities on offer for those that want more action, Read less

Another fabulous holiday at the Amari Koh Samui is drawing to a close. We love this resort with its Thai Village feel and it’s beautifully maintained gardens. The rooms are spacious and comfortable with everything we need to make our stay enjoyable and totally relaxing. Our special thanks to all of the wonderful staff who look after us so well - from the front desk, to the traffic guards who help us safely across the road, to housekeeping and to the catering staff in the Amaya bar. It is such a joy to be greeted by them and welcomed each day by their beautiful smiles. Our breakfasts are a special treat with the amazing range of foods available. Each day we arrive to find that Penn has arranged a table for our party and organised our tea and coffee selections. She is wonderful at predicting and assisting with our every need. We are also appreciative of the attention and hard work done by Nuong, Takky and the others to make our stay special. So thank you Amari staff - it’s been another fabulous holiday in what we now call ‘our second home’. See you next year. Read less
