London, January 2026 – Amari Koh Samui, the serene beachfront retreat on Chaweng Beach, Thailand, and a distinguished property under the ONYX Hospitality Group portfolio, has been named a finalist in the ‘International Wedding Venue: Grand’ category at the United Kingdom Weddings & Honeymoons Awards 2026 (UKWHA).
This marks the second consecutive year that the resort has been recognised at the UKWHA, following its 2025 finalist position in the Best Honeymoon Resort (Asia) category. The prestigious recognition highlights Amari Koh Samui’s dedication to delivering experiences in line with Amari’s Brighten Your World philosophy, which focuses on heartfelt service, cultural appreciation, and thoughtfully curated moments for every couple. As a proud member of ONYX Hospitality Group, a leading regional player and prominent hospitality management company in Southeast Asia specialising in hotels, resorts, serviced apartments, and luxury residences, Amari Koh Samui exemplifies the group’s commitment to excellence across its portfolio. Renowned for its gracious warmth and authentic Thai charm, the Amari brand seamlessly blends contemporary luxury with rich cultural heritage, creating memorable experiences that resonate long after the celebration ends.
The UKWHA is widely regarded as Europe’s largest and most prestigious celebration of the weddings and honeymoons sector, honouring outstanding destinations, hotels, venues, and professionals who set global standards for excellence and creativity. The 2026 winners will be revealed on 5th February 2026 in London.
Nestled along the pristine white sands of Chaweng Beach, Amari Koh Samui blends tropical beauty with contemporary Thai design and the genuine warmth that defines the Amari brand. Its picture-perfect location provides an enchanting backdrop for celebrations of every scale, from intimate garden ceremonies to grand seaside receptions for more than one hundred guests. At Amari Koh Samui, every wedding is brought to life with heartfelt warmth, creativity, and a touch of tropical magic. Dedicated wedding specialists curate each detail, from bespoke décor and floral styling to personalised ceremony concepts that reflect every couple’s culture and story.
A highlight of the resort’s wedding offerings is the choice between two distinct experiences. Couples can celebrate their love with a contemporary Western ceremony on the resort’s pristine beachfront, creating a tropical wedding of their dreams, or they can embrace local tradition with a Traditional Thai Buddhist blessing at a nearby temple, guided by monks in a serene and culturally meaningful setting. Both options offer unforgettable moments, whether it’s the romance of exchanging vows by the sea or the spiritual depth and symbolism of a temple blessing, celebrating harmony, prosperity, and new beginnings in the heart of Koh Samui.
At Amari Koh Samui, every celebration is made special with guest-centred dining. The resort’s talented chefs craft bespoke menus inspired by Thai, Indian, Western, and fusion cuisines, allowing couples to express their heritage and tastes through exceptional shared dining experiences. Each meal is designed to enrich the celebration with flavour, creativity, and joy.
After the festivities, couples are invited to begin their journey together in a tranquil beachfront sanctuary. Romantic honeymoon experiences include private candlelit dinners beneath the stars, rejuvenating couples’ spa rituals at Breeze Spa, leisurely beach strolls, island adventures, and the opportunity to discover Koh Samui’s hidden cultural and natural treasures. Every detail is infused with warmth and genuine hospitality, creating moments that feel personal, timeless, and unforgettable.
