Bangkok, Thailand. 9 November 2017. – With the festive season fast approaching, Amari would like to invite travellers to welcome 2018 at its unique destinations across Asia. From a beach retreat in southern Sri Lanka to city hideaways in vibrant Bangkok, read on for ideas for that last getaway in 2017.
Koh Samui, Thailand
In addition to dazzling palm-fringed and white-sand beaches to unwind on, neighbouring islands to explore, and cultural sights for the Instagram feed – visiting Koh Samui during New Year’s Eve presents a bonus for guests with the perfect backdrop of fireworks over the ocean. The rule of thumb in Samui is the bigger the beach, the bigger the fireworks. The famous Chaweng Beach, on which Amari Koh Samui is located, features numerous lively party spots and is certainly the place to experience the most colourful and festive celebrations.
Amari Koh Samui, located on a secluded stretch of Chaweng Beach, offers a New Year’s Eve Package, which includes a New Year’s Eve Gala Dinner on 31 December 2017, round-trip transfers to and from Samui International Airport, daily breakfast at Amaya Food Gallery and more. The package is available for a minimum three-night stay in a Superior Garden Wing King room, starting at 11,300 THB ++ per night and is valid for stays from 25 December 2017 to 10 January 2018.

Phuket, Thailand
Another great destination to ring in the New Year is on the powdery white sands of Patong Beach in Phuket, which will turn into large party zones filled with live entertainment, music, fireworks displays and food stalls that stay open until dawn. Before midnight strikes, guests can walk along the beach, soak in the fun atmosphere and be surrounded by happy revellers from around the globe looking forward to that exciting countdown to the New Year.
Amari Phuket, located on a secluded peninsula at the tip of Patong Beach, is putting on an evening of music, dancing and fun at Rim Talay restaurant. Highlights include a gala dinner, live performances and unobstructed views of the spectacular Patong Bay fireworks display at midnight.
