About the Hotel
Among the first to meld ancient Thai style with very modern luxury, Amanpuri stretches across a quiet stretch of beach in one of Phuket’s toniest “neighborhoods”: a good fit with the resort’s own high-style, high-concept and high-priced identity. Sanskrit for “place of peace”, Amanpuri is known as the first Aman resort and does a very un-control-freak-like job of mixing the original coconut grove with the resort’s high-gloss surroundings.
Amanpuri calls its architecture “sympathetically conceived”, and visitors can see what it means: locally inspired design meant to place nature in the spotlight. Earth-tone interiors showcase local artwork; stone steps sweep down to a slate-gray pool; high-ceilings show off the surrounding greenery.
Restaurant choices are just as classy. The Terrace serves Thai and European fare. The Restaurant serves Italian, the Beach Terrace serves lunch on good-weather days, and Naoki does fusion, French-and-Japanese style. During high season in the winter, the Beach Club even does torch-lit barbecue.
