Back to the beach in Thailand, with Amari

From an amazing £899 per person - stay for 7 nights, pay for 4!

15 years on from the launch of best-selling novel ‘The Beach’, Amari is helping a generation who once flocked to see Thailand’s paradise islands for themselves, return in comfort and style.

On the back of the success of The Beach, and subsequent Hollywood movie of the same name, backpackers from across the globe descended on Koh Phi Phi and other beachy hotspots across Thailand to experience firsthand the turquoise waters, white sandy beaches and towering cliffs made famous by the book and film.

While the backpacks may have gone, Amari is ensuring that anyone looking to retrace their steps can do so without breaking the bank.

Koh Phi Phi may have grabbed the limelight on the big screen, but Thailand is home to plenty of other spectacular seaside destinations, both on and off the beaten track.

Phuket is Thailand’s largest island. Just a two hour boat trip from Koh Phi Phi in the Indian Ocean, Phuket boasts some of the finest beaches in the world and options for all tastes. Its beautiful north and west coasts are home to a hatful of idyllic coves with crystal waters fringed with cool white sands. For something a little more up tempo, Patong beach is one of the country’s most popular and definitely more about the party than the peace and quiet. This combination and the wide range of attractions away from the sea, make Phuket a truly great place to do it all. When the adventure gets too much, there’s no better place to relax than at the Amari Coral Beach resort, Patong beach.

Sitting proudly in the Gulf of Thailand, just a short flight from Bangkok, is the island of Koh Samui. People have been living here for 1500 years, and with all the natural attributes you would expect of a picture book tropical paradise it’s not hard to see why! First popular as a backpacker haven in the late 70s, the facilities on the island now cater for all budgets of traveller, although the laid back feel has stood the test of time - it really is impossible to rush life here. Chaweng Beach is the island’s most famous and the Angthong Marine Park has great snorkelling and diving. Accommodation options on Koh Samui are plentiful, but the Amari Palm Reef stands out for its prime location right on the beach, and excellent facilities.
