Amanpuri

Located on Phuket's west coast, Amanpuri lies on a sheltered headland overlooking the Andaman Sea. Aman’s flagship property, and home to the brand’s first Holistic Wellness Centre, the resort offers 40 spacious Thai-styled guest Pavilions and 40 Villas discreetly positioned across a coconut grove. At the foot of a sweeping stone stairway lies the secluded white crescent of Pansea Beach.

Meaning 'peaceful place', Amanpuri exudes all the grace of its design inspiration, Thailand’s ancient capital Ayutthaya. At the resort’s heart is a sleek, 27-metre swimming pool, surrounded by several dining venues.

Overlooking the main pool are Buabok and Arva – the former offering authentic Thai flavours, expertly prepared; the latter creating bold, heart-warming dishes inspired by Italy's cucina semplice tradition. While the Bar provides poolside drinks and snacks, a walk-in wine room features more than 300 varieties from world-class producers. Phuket-inspired handcrafted cocktails and street-food are highlights at The Lounge, with Japanese dining in its purest, most enticing form showcased at destination venue Nama.

Down on the shore, the Beach Terrace features a poolside lounge and bar, with international lunches served seasonally from the live grill and wood-fired pizza oven. The extensive Eco-Beach Discovery Centre lies alongside, with its nature museum, craft centre and daily cultural programmes. The nearby Hot Spot – a sport, music and tech hub – features a climbing wall, skateboarding half-ramp, recording area and screening room. Guests can also take advantage of a host of water sports on offer.

The Amanpuri Holistic Wellness Centre is the first to offer the services of a certified medical team working alongside Aman’s experts in ancient healing techniques and alternative therapies. With an open-minded holistic ethos and state-of-the-art technology, the Centre offers integrative, anti-ageing, sport and aesthetic medical services and top of the line diagnostics.
