Amari, the distinguished hotel and resort brand under ONYX Hospitality Group, is pleased to highlight some its most tranquil beach properties in Thailand, offering guests the ultimate escape to unplug from the digital world.

As digital devices become increasingly addictive, excessive screen time has been linked to mental fatigue, disrupted sleep, and decreased productivity. Studies suggest that the ‘Three Day Effect’ – where disconnecting from the online world for at least three days – can reset the brain, promoting clearer thinking, improved sleep, and enhanced wellbeing.
Amari Phuket, nestled amidst lush tropical greenery and overlooking the sparkling turquoise waters of the Andaman Sea, is an idyllic retreat thoughtfully designed to promote relaxation – including multiple pools and serene spaces. Guests are invited to immerse themselves in the plentiful amenities on offer, leaving digital distractions behind.

Whether guests are craving tranquillity or excitement, Amari Phuket caters to every need.

Each dining venue encourages guests to savour the moment, fostering genuine connection with the surroundings.
