Amatara Welleisure Resort

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Exceptional Wellness Experience at Amatara

My stay at Amatara was absolutely wonderful from beginning to end. The location is beautiful, the ambience is peaceful and relaxing, the food is excellent, and most importantly, the people made the experience truly special.

Everyone was incredibly welcoming and genuinely kind. The team at breakfast always greeted me so warmly, and the reception team went above and beyond to make me feel at home. A very special mention to Top — who really is “top of the world” — and Joy, who truly brought “joy to the world”! 😊 Both of you made my stay even more memorable with your kindness and support.

I came primarily for the wellness experience and thoroughly enjoyed the detox program. Dr.Henna , Hashna and Ploy were excellent, particularly with the analysis , body posture and guidance provided for my detox Programme . The massages and spa treatments were fantastic, and everyone at the wellness centre was professional, attentive and caring.

I also loved the experience at Senses Kitchen. The team there were so kind and humble, and the food was delicious while still complementing the wellness program perfectly.

A special thank you to the Synergy gym team as well. I attended the Metabolic reset Core flow and Tabata classes and really enjoyed them. The team were very professional, encouraging and full of energy, helping me stay motivated and keep up my workout routine throughout my stay. 💪

Last but not least , A special thank you also to the lovely housekeeping team. I especially enjoyed coming back to my room and finding the beautiful little animals made from towels. 🥰 It was such a thoughtful and creative touch and became something I genuinely looked forward to seeing each day. Thank you for putting that extra care into making my stay feel special.

Amatara also organised my island tour, which was another highlight of my stay and very well arranged.

Overall, everything — the location, ambience, wellness program, spa, food, service and hospitality — deserves five stars. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Thank you to the entire Amatara team for making my stay so relaxing, welcoming and memorable. I would happily return and highly recommend Amatara to anyone looking for a beautiful wellness escape in Phuket. ❤️

It was our third time in Phuket. This time we chose Amatara resort . We had a great time but we wouldn’t come back. A very nice jungle type resort, very green, lots of space to explore… beach is small but cozy. Very clean with calm water.. we were there in august and had the entire beach to ourselves which was very nice! The restaurant food was very good. Breakfast options were limited but tasty. Why wouldn’t we come back? The main thing we didn’t feel welcome there. We always tip generously but with cleaning staff I shouldn’t have bothered. First they stopped bringing us complimentary snacks and beverages.. at first we thought it was a one day accident but after a few days I had to call reception requesting some.. Same with bathrobes .. they took the old ones and never replaced them. Had to call the reception again… The room was pretty average …small, dark with old furniture. No iron. In general we got an impression we were not very welcomed there… But the resort itself is very nice!

We had a lovely stay at Amatara overall, and a big part of that came down to a few members of the team who genuinely made us feel looked after.

Cha and Thon were exceptional. Cha welcomed us, helped us with the buggy, took photos for us during sunset, and would always stop to talk whenever we saw him. Thon was equally wonderful — he helped us get around, assisted us during check-out, drove us to the airport, and even recommended places for us to eat in Phuket Old Town. By the end of the stay, both of them felt more like friends than hotel staff. They were warm, genuine, and probably the people we will remember most from Amatara.

Thom at reception was also extremely helpful. We initially had a rather unpleasant interaction with Nureen, who unfortunately came across as unwelcoming and at one point even rolled her eyes at us. Once Thom took over, however, the experience was completely different. He was patient, helpful and handled everything very well.

The room itself was perfect. We stayed in a Bay View room and the view was beautiful. The room was comfortable, peaceful and exactly what we had hoped for. Breakfast was excellent throughout our stay, and the food in general was very good.

One of the highlights was the Hatha Yoga session with Dr. Heba. He was excellent — very personal in his approach, observant and precise in his corrections. We learned a surprising amount in just one hour, and it felt much more meaningful than a standard hotel yoga class. I am also impressed with the buggy service, so quick!

There are, however, a few areas that Amatara could improve.

The service around the sea activities was inconsistent. Some staff were helpful, but during our three-day stay we were repeatedly told that the water activities were unavailable, which was disappointing given that these are part of the resort experience.

The lunch options were another weak point. The menu felt quite limited, portions were relatively small for the price, and overall it felt overpriced compared with the quality and variety available elsewhere. We also found that Sun & Moon was closed most of the time during our stay, which further reduced the dining options.

Overall, though, we really enjoyed Amatara. The room, Bay View, breakfast, yoga experience and especially Cha, Thon and Thom made the stay memorable. With more consistency in service and better daytime dining options, the experience could be excellent across the board.
