For the second year running, the entire team at Amari Palm Reef Resort, Samui, proudly celebrates winning TTG Asia's coveted 'Best Beach Resort' Award. This magnificent title is once again tribute to the excellence in quality and service that has been achieved and deservedly recognised.

The Resort, led by General Manager, Khun Viranat Silananda, together with his dedicated team, offers superb personalised services, coupled with extreme care and attention to detail in all aspects, to the highest international standards. This highly successful prime destination beach resort continuously strives for the maximum, with refinement and flair, offering a stunning array of services.

After further upgrades, additions and renovations to continually improve rooms, facilities and the overall experience, Amari Palm Reef Resort shines all the more. The resort's Prego Italian Restaurant is still arguably the best and most popular restaurant on the island. The Sivara Spa has seen expansion to accommodate increasing demand and provides luxurious pampering. The diligent staff appear to work effortlessly, always bringing a smile come rain or shine, helping to create lasting memories for all guests.

Note to Editors:
Samui is one of Thailand's most beautiful islands. Its crystal waters teem with colourful fish, the soft golden sand stretches for miles and the gently swaying palm trees add a tropical touch. Enjoy all this natural beauty while luxuriating in the comfort and peace of the Amari Palm Reef. In addition, the Sivara Spa makes sure that guests can really relax and spoil themselves.
