Amanpuri

Set amid a coconut plantation, Amanpuri — the inaugural property in Aman’s intimate and renowned portfolio — overlooks a crescent of white sand and turquoise water on Phuket’s west coast. Guest pavilions and villas enjoy exclusive privacy and panoramic views of the Andaman Sea, enhanced nightly by magnificent sunsets. Beyond the secluded beach, a fleet of cruisers is on-hand for island hopping, fishing and scuba-diving, while a number of Buddhist temples lie within easy reach. Eastern philosophy is practiced in the Holistic Wellness Centre, too, housed in a series of serene pavilions cascading down the lush hillside.
