Amara Ocean Resort

On a serene stretch of Ngapali Beach, the Amara Ocean Resort is ideal for honeymooners and couples seeking solitude and privacy.

There are 28 bungalows of traditional style with thatched roofs, all tucked into a large palm grove, affording guests a welcome level of privacy. Each one has views of the sea and the mountains from their terraces, and are all air-conditioned, with spacious living areas.

In the restaurant, you can dine on Mediterranean or Asian cuisine; there’s an emphasis on seafood, which isn’t too surprising given the seaside setting – something that you can enjoy on the terrace as the sun sets. After dinner, you can head to the Ungbin Bar for a cocktail or cold beer.

When you’re not lounging by the pool or indulging in another massage, you can head out on a fishing trip to catch tuna or barracuda, go bird-watching in the forest; take an island-hopping boat trip; work on your swing on the nearby nine-hole golf course; or hop on a bike for a scenic day out around Ngapali.
