The Emerald Cove Koh Chang

Affordable luxury is the watchword at this glamorous resort. The Amari Emerald Cove is truly a study in contemporary comfort. Three-story guest-room wings skirt a delightful courtyard with wooden walkways over lily ponds. A 50-m (164-ft.) jade-green pool overlooks the ocean with ample lounge chairs and a pool bar, while there’s a smaller pool for kids. Rooms are oversized, with slate tile and wood floors, marble bathrooms and thick, soft mattresses on the beds. The resort’s restaurants offer an eclectic mix of Thai, modern Italian dishes, and international cuisine.
