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.
Armani Hotel Dubai
- Setting: the concourse through level 39 of Burj Khalifa beside Dubai Mall and the Dubai Fountain.
- Armani Hotels & Resorts does not operate a public consumer points programme.
- Seasonal openings, restaurant schedules and spa access should be confirmed for the intended dates.
