Good to Know
Amanoi
- The resort sits inside a protected national park, which keeps the surrounding coastline undeveloped but also means limited options for leaving the property independently.
- About 30 minutes from Cam Ranh International Airport, which also serves nearby Nha Trang.
- The bay is genuinely good for snorkeling and diving, protected by the same national park status that keeps the land undeveloped.
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.
