The philosophy of the spa is similar to the SHA method only in its holistic approach. Otherwise, it is oriental meditative and invites you to take a journey to your "I" by asking not "What do I need?" but "What do I want?". Next, you need to give yourself time to find what you need to fulfill those needs, and then embrace the spirit of gentle discipline and realize that change requires stepping outside of your comfort zone. With this deep approach, Amatara Wellness Resort certainly differs dramatically from well-known Thai resorts such as Chiva Som, which have become more of a fashionable pilgrimage destination.

There is a choice of 22 bungalows, 48 apartments, all with private balcony and sea views, and 35 pool villas. There are also three restaurants and three bars, island sightseeing, Buddhist temples, diving and golf.

Amatara Wellness Resort has everything from an award-winning spa to a Thai hammam, fitness, yoga and Pilates rooms, steam room and infrared sauna to meet the needs of its guests. The resorts detox program includes a gentle cleansing diet, special supplements and treatments that will leave you feeling younger and more energetic, including juice cleanses, hydrotherapy and Amataras signature therapies.
