Amatara Welleisure Resort sits on a dramatic clifftop in Phuket, offering sweeping sea views and a perfect spot for sunset drinks on the dedicated Sunset Deck. The grounds are spacious, beautifully maintained, and secure. Because the resort is built on different levels, golf buggies shuttle guests around (although the wait can sometimes be longer than you’d like). It’s not a short drive to the airport or the island’s most popular beaches, but in return you get peace, quiet, and a real sense of seclusion.

Accommodation is made up of generously sized suites and villas designed for effortless comfort: high‑quality linens, plush robes and slippers, oversized towels, a beach bag, electric curtains, and a minibar that’s replenished daily. Housekeeping is thorough, and check‑in/check‑out runs smoothly. Even early departures are handled well, with takeaway breakfasts available, plus relaxation rooms you can use after check‑out.

The resort’s standout feature is its wellness centre. Guests can choose structured health programmes with diagnostics, doctor consultations, IV drips, physiotherapy, massages, and classes such as sound‑enhanced yoga. There’s also a sauna and steam room by the gym, a tennis court, and a full schedule of daily activities. For water — an infinity pool with sea views, private pools and a private beach with kayaks and SUP.

Dining is spread across several restaurants. SIRI, in particular, maintains a high standard of service and cuisine, with vegetarian/vegan choices and halal options at breakfast.

Families are well catered for with a kids’ room/club, baby cots, and a convenient area for swimming with children. Couples, meanwhile, will appreciate the privacy of the villas and the calm, almost “private‑club” atmosphere throughout the resort.
