 | Amanpuri - In Phuket, Thailand, the Amanpuri hotel of the Aman Resorts, the famous hotel chain, has been attracting lovers of discreet luxury for some twenty years now. You will not be able to resist the charm of this intimate and protected place which distils an atmosphere of calmness and well-being, sheltered from the touristic Phuket. Real potpourri of Asia, its outstanding services and its concern for the most minute detail, make this hotel a destination in itself.
Situated on the Western coast of Phuket, this tranquil resort proudly celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2008. Designed by architect Ed Turtle, it strives to steer clear of traditional clichés. The site is neither too ostentatious nor flashy.

Accommodation :
Nothing is left to chance at the Amanpuri , whose name means « Place of Peace » in order to make your stay an unforgettable experience. 40 pavilions and 30 villas are available, with 600 employees catering to the well-being of customers every day. A BMW 7-series from the hotel will welcome you at the airport, and will take you back when leaving. Registration is made directly in your pavilion or your villa, perched high up, or isolated at the heart of wonderful tropical vegetation, especially coconut palms. The swimming pool offers a spectacular view of the Andaman Sea.
Restaurants:
- For Thai cuisine lovers, the Thai restaurant is the perfect place to enjoy refined dishes at the poolside, in a special atmosphere of insistent zither music.
- For those nostalgic about Mediterranean flavours, there is an excellent Italian restaurant overlooking the sea. There you can enjoy a delicious « risotto with white truffles » or the not-to-be-missed « venetian tiramisu ».
- Sushi lovers will be glad to know about the Japanese restaurant overlooking the sea.
Spa :
When the sunsets, head for the spa, for an ultimate relaxation session. Situated off to the side of the hotel, here you will find 6 pavilions. The charming female director of the spa offers an extensive menu of massages, including the "Puri Spécial", massage for me, elaborated to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the hotel, and inspired by the traditional Thai massage (School of Wak Pho). It includes digipuncture, acupressure, stretching, hammam and yoga exercises. Hot herb balls applied along meridians contribute to eliminating tensions and relieving joints.
