Amari Phuket

Overview

Amari Phuket is a relaxed oceanfront resort on the quiet southern headland of Patong Beach, and its Saturday Seafood BBQ and Day Pass rolls a full day by the pool into a beachfront seafood dinner for one great-value price. This resort day pass in Phuket costs THB 850++ per person and pairs daytime access to the resort's pools and facilities with an evening seafood barbecue buffet at Rim Talay, the beachfront restaurant. It is a Saturday treat built for friends and families who want sun, sand, swimming, and a proper feast to finish.

Tucked onto a headland at the southern end of Patong, Amari feels a step removed from the busy centre while staying close to Bangla Road and the shops. The Day Pass gives you the run of the resort during the day and a seat at the seafood grill in the evening, so you can turn a single Saturday into a complete beach-day-into-dinner outing without booking a room.

What the Day Pass Includes

The pass is THB 850++ per person (subject to the standard 10 percent service charge and 7 percent VAT) and works in two halves. During the day, from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM, you get complimentary access to two large pools with sun loungers and outdoor showers, the Rim Talay Pool Bar for drinks, the Kids Club for children aged 4 to 12, the Voyager Lounge to relax in, indoor shower rooms and storage lockers, and tennis or badminton at the Sports Centre. There are also six photogenic check-in spots along the resort's shoreline, plus free Wi-Fi throughout.

In the evening, the seafood barbecue buffet runs from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM at Rim Talay. Expect a spread of freshly grilled seafood alongside soups, salads, hot dishes, and Thai favourites with punchy dipping sauces, finished with desserts, ice cream, and seasonal fruit. With the buffet timed for sunset, it is an easy evening of good food, sea breeze, and often live music.

Rim Talay and the Resort

Rim Talay is the heart of the experience, Amari's beachfront all-day restaurant and the home of the Saturday seafood grill. By day its pool bar keeps the drinks flowing beside the water, and by night the grill fires up for the buffet, with tables set out toward the Andaman Sea. The two pools, one the La Gritta pool and one closer to the beach, give you room to swim, float, and laze between meals.

Amari Phuket is a large, contemporary resort with Thai-inspired design and sweeping sea views from its headland setting. The Day Pass is a smart way to sample it for a day, combining the facilities of a full resort with a memorable seafood dinner. It is family-friendly and social rather than exclusive, which is exactly what makes the Saturday pass such fun. With the Kids Club, the Sports Centre, and space to spread out around two pools, it works just as well for a family day out as it does for a group of friends.

Location and Getting There

Amari Phuket is at 2 Meun Ngern Road, at the southern end of Patong Beach in the Kathu district, on a headland above the bay. It is close enough to walk to central Patong, Bangla Road, and the shopping malls, yet set apart enough to feel calm. It is roughly 45 minutes to an hour from Phuket International Airport, and taxis, tuk-tuks, and ride-hailing apps reach it easily, with parking on site.

Good to Know

The Saturday Seafood BBQ and Day Pass is THB 850++ per person, with the day pass valid from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM and the seafood buffet served from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM. The price is subject to a 10 percent service charge and 7 percent VAT, so budget a little above the headline figure. As the name suggests, this is a Saturday offer, so plan your visit for the weekend.

Bring swimwear for the pools, and consider arriving in the afternoon so you can enjoy the pool and the sunset before the buffet begins. Booking ahead is essential, as the seafood BBQ is popular. To reserve this resort day pass in Phuket, message the resort on Messenger or call directly. For a full Saturday of pool, beach, and a seafood feast in one, Amari Phuket is excellent value.
