Amari Trang Beach Resort, Trang Hotels, Trang Thailand

White sand beaches, virgin tropical rain forests, incredible caves and waterfalls and provincial town charm, make Trang Province one of Thailand's best kept secrets. Seldom visited by tourists, the region has remained largely unchanged for centuries and the character of the province is charmingly un-commercial, giving visitors an insight into the real Thailand.

Whilst the region is in the remote south west of Thailand, it is only just over an hour's flight from Bangkok. However, the seeming inaccessibility means that Trang still offers spectacular, unspoilt natural beauty. Offshore, dozens of almost deserted islands with white sand beaches and turquoise waters are just waiting to be explored. Inland, rugged limestone cliffs with dramatic waterfalls and caves, virgin rain forests and vast rubber plantations invite visitors.

Snuggled behind a line of swaying casuarinas trees on an idyllic white sand beach, the Amari Trang Resort will be welcoming discerning travelers to this unspoiled and intensely beautiful part of the Kingdom from the 15th September, 2003. Blending perfectly with the pristine environment, the elegant low-rise property will feature 144 sea facing rooms offering every amenity and comfort.

Trang is one of Thailand's most beautiful regions, just over an hour's flight from Bangkok., 828 kms from Bangkok, 312 kms from Phuket, 131 kms from Krabi, 305 kms from Sungai-Golok (Malaysian border)

Amari Trang Resort is located on Chang Lang beach, approximately 42 kilometres from Trang town, and 45 kilometres from the airport. Framed by whispering casuarina trees and a backdrop of beckoning tropical islands, it is not only a sun worshipper's paradise, but a treasure trove of beautiful seashells of all types, shapes and sizes. It forms part of the Hat Chao Mai National Park which covers the coastal area, and numerous fairy tale islands offshore. The soft white sand stretches for kilometres, and a leisurely stroll along the water's edge at dawn or dusk is a truly delightful experience. The Trang region is home to some of the finest beaches in Asia, many of them hidden on the islands, stunningly beautiful, and very often completely deserted.

With their spacious private balconies, the 144 sea facing rooms will command spectacular views, enhanced by the tall casuarina trees which gracefully line the beach. Often called the "Whistling Pine" after the soft noise made by the sea breezes passing through their feathery foliage, they not only please the eye, but also provide welcome shade in the middle of the day. Three types of accommodation - superior, deluxe and suites - will blend innovative design and elegant decoration with luxurious convenience. The rooms will feature many thoughtful and useful amenities, and the enticing bathrooms which open up to sliding panels, will provide a unique attraction in themselves.

The hotel will feature three fine restaurants, two bars, and a suite of meeting rooms opening on to a large covered terrace, the latter ideal for pre-function activities, or al fresco dining. A swimming pool, health club, spa, watersports and excursion centre will provide comprehensive sporting and leisure options.

Conscious of the growing global interest in whole-body health, a fully equipped and professionally managed spa will provide guests with a wide choice of holistic treatments designed to relax the spirit and invigorate the body. In a fragrant ambience totally conducive to harmony, qualified therapists will offer various types of massage, combined with hydrotherapy, acupressure and other techniques, combining the most recent scientifically recognised methods with age-old healing traditions of the Far East.

The resort has a choice of dining options serving both international and Thai cuisine. Guests can choose from the Vistas Coffee Shop, which has several theme nights every week, Thai and seafood specialities at Crabs and Co, plus Aqua Italian restaurant. The Sunset Bar features live music every night and The Beach House is a relaxed place to enjoy a sundowner. Room service operates twenty four hours, for those late night snack attacks.

There are three function rooms at the Amari Trang Beach Resort, which can accomodate up to two hundred guests for meetings, conferences or banquets. The hotel can also arrange a variety of theme evenings to suit groups of any size.
