Amari Emerald Cove Resort

The Amari Emerald Cove Resort ~ 4.5 Stars

Without any doubt, the poshest place to stay on Koh Chang has got to be at the Amari Emerald Cove Resort. It is currently the island’s top hotel and lives up to its five-star reputation with spacious and stylish contemporary Asian design. While it might seem a little isolated for some, it more than makes up for it with its fancy feeling, high level of service, restaurants and the superb Sivara Spa.

The resort is located on the southern shore of Klong Prao Beach on the island. It belongs to the Koh Chang National Marine Park and occupies a lovely tranquil locality complete with its own palm-shaded sandy terrace and an enormous seafront swimming pool. The 165 deluxe style rooms are all tastefully decorated in low-rise three-story units set around the pool, tropical garden and lagoons.
