Thailand Amanpuri Phuket | Urbane Nomads

Overview

Opened in 1988, Amanpuri was the very first Aman resort, named for the Sanskrit word for ‘peace’. This tranquil retreat is now the flagship property in the Aman family, an award-winner which has stood the test of time.

Amanpuri captures the warmth and generosity of spirit so unique to Thai culture, while allowing nature to reign supreme. The sincere and heartfelt service creates the ambience of a welcoming private home where guests can relax and rejuvenate in beautiful natural surrounds. Located in a secluded coconut grove overlooking a sheltered bay, the resort radiates from the private crescent-shaped beach lapped by the Andaman Sea. Private villas grace the peninsula affording guests spectacular views, while other facilities include a Beach Club and lap pool, a hillside gym and spa and a number of restaurants, situated in picturesque locations around the resort.

Figures well as part of a high-end, luxury trip to Thailand.

Weather-permitting, 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’s original French kaiseki fare, combining the best of French technique with Japanese artistry.

The Bar offers poolside drinks and snacks throughout the day, and at dusk, half a dozen moulded-brass tables and pairs of teak, rattan-backed chairs are set out along the terrace between the pool and the steps to the beach so that guests can enjoy the sun setting over the Andaman Sea. From late November to April, weather and tide permitting, evening torch-lit barbecues are held on the beach.

The Beach Club offers a bar and lounge, and room service is available 24 hours a day in the privacy of guest pavilions and outdoor salas.
