"Amanpuri was the first Aman — the flagship for their winning blend of captivating design, classic luxury, stunning settings, and first-rate service. This exclusive beachfront resort on the west coast of Phuket occupies what was once a coconut plantation, isolated on a lush peninsula overlooking Pansea Beach. The design is a smart take on traditional Thai elements derived from the Ayutthaya period." - Mark Fedeli
