The Amanpuri has one of the best locations on Phuket. Its 70 pavilions and spacious villas are set in palm groves or overlook the pristine Pansea Beach, without doubt one of the finest bays on the island.
For the active, there is a comprehensive range of facilities including a 20-meter lap pool and an excellent gym with stunning views of the ocean. For relaxation, the spa is considered one of the best in the Aman portfolio and complimentary guided yoga and meditation sessions are offered at sunrise. A number of fine restaurants include Naoki, serving original French kaiseki fare, combining the best of French techniques with Japanese artistry.
OUR OPINION:
This is the original Aman property and one that raised standards for luxury resorts around the world. Many guests find they don't want to go anywhere else afterwards and return year after year.

The Terrace Restaurant offers casual all-day dining in an alfresco setting whilst The Restaurant serves Italian cuisine and is open for dinner year-round and lunch during high season. Both are next to the resort鈥檚 main swimming pool.
Lunch can be enjoyed at the Beach Terrace, while Naoki, set just behind the beach and open during the high season, serves chef Naoki Okumura鈥檚 blends of French technique with Japanese artistry.
The Bar offers poolside drinks and snacks throughout the day, and at dusk, half a dozen molded brass tables and pairs of teak, rattan-backed chairs are set out along the terrace between the pool and the steps to the beach for guests to enjoy the sunset.
