Additional Information
Description
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.
Locations
First mentioned by Ptolemy in the 2nd century, Phuket was a regular port of call for Arab and Chinese ships in centuries past. Portuguese and Chinese settlements were established on the island in the 18th century, and until the middle of the 19th century, tigers and elephants wandered freely in local jungles.
Phuket is the largest island in Thailand and is located off the country’s south-western coastline. It is largely mountainous with a range in the west running from north to south. The mountains of Phuket form the southern end of the Phuket Mountain Range which extends for 440 kilometres from the Kra Isthmus. Phuket is 50 kilometres long and 21 kilometres at its widest point. Connected to Thailand’s Phang Nga province by a motor bridge in the north, the island is surrounded by the azure Andaman Sea, which joins the Indian Ocean to the south. Well over half of the island is covered by forest: the northern Khao Phra Thaeo National Park protects more than 20 square kilometres of rainforest.
Phuket is served by numerous domestic and regional flights. Bangkok is 1½ hours flying time away and has connections to major international destinations.
Complimentary private limousine transfers to and from Phuket Airport are offered to guests, and the 17-kilometre drive to Amanpuri takes 25 minutes.
