Good to Know
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.
Amanzoe
- The beach club and hillside pavilions are a genuine shuttle ride apart — factor that into how you plan your days.
- About 2.5 hours by car from Athens, or a shorter transfer via the resort's private helicopter option.
- Best May through October; many facilities scale back or close over winter.
