Amanpuri, meaning place of peace, is where the entire Aman story began, opening on a private peninsula in Phuket in 1988 and setting the template for every luxury resort that followed. Shaded by coconut palms above the Andaman Sea, with pavilions woven into the hillside, private villas and a white-sand beach, it remains the benchmark for discreet, intuitive service. Booking through a preferred-partner advisory costs the same as booking direct, with recognition and benefits added at no extra cost.
A Private Peninsula on the Andaman
Amanpuri occupies a coconut plantation on a headland on Phuket's quieter west coast, with its own beach below and the Andaman Sea beyond. It is private and green, a world away from the busier parts of the island, yet within reach of Phuket's airport and the island's dining and markets.
Pavilions and Villas in the Palms
Accommodation is divided between the hillside Pavilions, free-standing Thai-inspired suites set among the palms, and the multi-bedroom Villas with private pools and staff, which suit families and groups. The design, all pitched roofs and warm timber, defined a style that has been imitated worldwide.
Thai, Italian and Japanese
Dining spans Thai cuisine at Buabok, Italian at Arva and Japanese at Nama, served by the beach, the pool and in the villas. A wellness centre and a fleet of boats for the Andaman complete the picture.
Amanpuri is where it all began, the first Aman, still the benchmark, on a private peninsula above the Andaman Sea.
