Relax on the beach at OZO Chaweng Samui
Imagine a holiday sipping on fresh coconut water whilst lounging on the sand with toes playing in the fine, soft sand; if this sounds like the ideal getaway, then Koh Samui is the answer. Located off the eastern coast of the Gulf of Thailand, Koh Samui’s location also benefits from more protection from the increment rain experienced in the rest of Thailand, making it the ideal beach location for the summer months.
Located in the bustling Chaweng Beach area, OZO Chaweng Samui serves as the ideal launch pad to explore the island. Many activities are available and with the help of the OZO Destination Guide, guests can explore the island’s unique sites from the Big Buddha to Namuang Waterfall or venture out on a day-trip to the Angthong National Marine Park, which features 42 jagged islands jutting out of azure blue waters. After a day of exploration, relaxing by the pool is a must or guests can lounge on the beach with a drink in hand as the sun sets. In the evening, a walk along the happening Chaweng Beach Road is recommended. Filled with street food stalls, bars and shops, this is the perfect occasion to try out local treats and buy trinkets for family and friends back home. As a little insider tip, guests staying at OZO Chaweng Samui can also indulge with a spa treatment at Breeze Spa located at Amari Koh Samui, the hotel’s sister property just up the road. Simply ask the OZO team to make a reservation; complimentary pickup and drop-off will also be provided between the two hotels for Breeze Spa reservations.
OZO Chaweng Samui is offering a special Escape Package to help with summer holiday planning. Starting at 10,800 THB ++, the package includes a three-night stay in a Sleep King room, roundtrip airport transfers via private car accommodating up to three guests and a special dinner prepared by the in-house chef at Stacked, the all-American eatery featuring simple yet delightful guilty pleasures.

Discover your adventurous side with OZO Colombo and OZO Kandy in Sri Lanka
Sometimes referred to as the Jewel of the Indian Ocean, the island nation of Sri Lanka offers a multitude of experiences for the traveller, ranging from cities filled with historical and cultural sites waiting to be explored to the rolling hills lined with tea plantations and beaches to surf and relax.

With OZO Colombo at a comfortable distance from the hustle and bustle of the main town centre, guests will be staying in the right spot. There is a lot to see in this city, from historical attractions like the oldest and largest Hindu temple, Genesha Kavil, to Pettah Market, where guests can immerse themselves in the local way of life. The temple culture is an experience on its own, with several dotted across the various neighbourhoods. After enjoying all the fun of Colombo, guests can hop on the Expo Rail from Colombo to Kandy and be prepared to be mesmerised. The two-and-a-half-hour train ride is a scenic delight, showing glimpses of everyday life in Sri Lanka as well as the lush flora and fauna that inhabit the island. Guests will soon see that Kandy is a tranquil hill station with a cooler climate. Home to the last Sinhalese King in 1815, the city is sprinkled with a healthy combination of historical and spiritual landmarks as well as adventure-packed destinations to see.

Great sleep is a priority at OZO; after a day of exploring slip into the extra comfortable beds in a Sleep room at OZO Wesley Hong Kong
Get lost in the city with OZO Wesley Hong Kong
If an escape to a bustling metropolis is your ideal holiday, then Hong Kong is your answer. The juxtaposition of the city’s skyscrapers with the shophouses lining the streets offering traditional Chinese medicines and the plethora of stalls and shops offering some of the best street foods and local delicacies make Hong Kong perfect to simply let yourself get lost. Each neighbourhood offers a unique experience and its ever-changing nature makes the destination one that guests will keep wanting to go back to.
The area of Wan Chai is home to OZO Wesley Hong Kong, and this busy commercial hub is bustling not only with office workers but also with shoppers. Walking is a great way to discover the city and guests can either venture out on their own or reserve a walking tour with a guide to help them discover every not-to-be-missed hidden spot. For a quick trip down memory lane, head to Tai Yuan Street, lined with toy shops; this must-see spot is just a short stroll from OZO Wesley and is a great a way to stay up-to-date on the current toy trends or rediscover childhood favourites. Just further down the road is the Blue House; this historical landmark is hard to miss due to its bright blue exterior walls and is one of the few remaining examples of a tenement building or “tong lau” in the city. A visit to Hong Kong is not complete without exploring the street foods and Wan Chai is home to many spots to sample delicious food, including the Honolulu Coffee Shop, home to one of the most popular egg tarts. It is recommended that guests head there in the morning when the golden sweet tarts are fresh out of the oven. To venture outside of Wan Chai, consult the OZO Destination Guide, which has 24-, 48- and 72-hour itineraries planned out to help guests get the most out of their stay.
