Amanpuri Resort, Thailand Vacations, Honeymoons and Luxury Travel Packages
Amanpuri embodies the inner spirit of the Thai culture while allowing nature to reign supreme. The natural beauty combined with sincere warmth and a genuine soul allows for complete rejuvenation.
Amanpuri translated in Sanskrit as place of peace was opened in 1988, the first born to the Aman ‘family’. This tranquil prodigy has pride of place on Phuket in a secluded natural coconut grove on a peninsula leading down to a soft, crescent shaped beach overlooking a mesmerizing turquoise Andaman Sea. Amanpuri continues to evolve with a peaceful purity, which is reflected in its gracious service, and the sympathetic construction of its pavilions, villas, and stylish midnight blue pools
Amanpuri Resort Accommodations
 The sense of ‘belonging’ while staying at Amanpuri is, in part, due to the authentic and sympathetically conceived architecture exposing swooping multi-tiered roof-lines, understated, but deeply comfortable, locally inspired, air-conditioned interiors, outside salas or private dining decks. These are connected by a series of elevated walkways, which lead to the cool and expansive reception area, the long exotic slate-blue pool, reflecting statuesque palms and tropical skies, and the sweeping stone steps down to the beach. The gentle fragrance of the ubiquitous frangipani flower gently permeates the soft sea air.
All Amanpuri's 40 pavilions feature an outdoor sala, a king-size bed, separate bath and shower, refrigerator with minibar, electronic safe, stereo system, IDD services and air-conditioning. Wireless broadband connections are available in all resort accommodation and public areas. Pavillion rates are determined according to view and location, pavilion 105 and 103 enjoy the best views of the Andaman Sea.

A live-in maid and cook attend to all guests’ needs, including the preparation of Thai cuisine in a private kitchen.

 The Terrace restaurant offers casual, all-day dining in an alfresco setting and features Thai and European specialties. The Restaurant serves Italian cuisine and is open for dinner all year round and for lunch during high season. Both restaurants are located beside the swimming pool. Weather-permitting, lunches are held at the Beach Terrace. Set just behind the beach, Naoki is Amanpuri's newest restaurant which serves Chef Naoki Okumura's original French Kaiseki - combining the best of French techniques with a Japanese sense of artistry.
The Bar offers poolside drinks and snacks. At last light, half a dozen moulded-brass tables and pairings of teak, rattan-backed chairs are set out along the terrace between the pool and the steps leading to the beach. The view is to the sun setting on the Andaman Sea. A cocktail bar and lounge seating is also available at the Beach Club.
