Tucked away on a tranquil beach in Patong's Southern corner the Amari hotel offers guests peace and tranquility in a secluded setting.

That is not to say you are cut off from the outside world. A gentle 5 minute stroll will bring you to Patong Beach, known locally as Phuket's pulse, a 3km stretch of glittering white sand and sparkling blue water hosting a vibrant mix of shops, bars, restaurants and exciting nightlife. Beach activities abound with snorkeling, diving and beach sports available, or enjoy a trip across the sea to visit another nearby island.

The Amari Resort offers two outdoor pools, together with a beautiful infinity pool in the Clubhouse, or you can enjoy the warm waters of the Andaman Sea, either above or below the surface for those who wish to explore some of the pristine coral reefs with the guidance and in the safe hands of Sea-Bees 5* Diving Centre.

Less energetic guests can pamper themselves in the Breeze Spa enjoying a traditional Thai massage whilst listening to the soothing sound of the waves lapping on the beach. Follow this with a relaxing soak in the outdoor Jacuzzi, and emerge refreshed and rejuvenated to enjoy the rest of your stay.

Younger guests will enjoy sampling the wide range of fun and creative activities to be found in the Kids Club, while older guests can enjoy the facilities of the Voyager Lounge, overlooking Patong Bay, or maintain their fitness programme in the fully-equipped FIT Centre.

Having worked up an appetite, enjoy traditional Italian cuisine and mouth-watering seafood in La Gritta Restaurant, or sample the International buffet or Continental a la carte menu in the Rim Talay Restaurant, which doubles as a pool bar during the daytime. Two other bars offering stunning sea views, and serving drinks and snacks throughout the day and evening complete a range of culinary options to suit every palate.

All Guestrooms and Suites are light, airy,and are equipped with the latest technology. For our smallest guests we can provide cots, a babysitting service, and high-chairs in the restaurants, and complimentary drinking water is provided in all rooms.

Whether you are looking for an activity-packed holiday, or simply want to relax in the sun, the Amari Phuket combines all the ingredients to make it quite simply, in the words of one of our recent guests, "paradise in paradise ".
