Good to Know
Amangiri
- The Camp Sarika tented annex next door adds 10 further suites for guests who want even more isolation.
- Closest airport is Page, Arizona (40 minutes); Las Vegas is a 4.5-hour drive.
- The resort runs guided hikes into Grand Staircase-Escalante that are hard to arrange independently.
Amanpuri
- As the original Aman, this is the property most "Aman Junkies" cite as their favourite — worth booking even if you've stayed at newer, flashier Aman resorts.
- Pansea Beach is genuinely quiet compared to the rest of Phuket — the resort's position and private access keep it that way.
- About 30 minutes from Phuket International Airport.
