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.
Splendido, A Belmond Hotel
The hotel is seasonal — typically spring through autumn. Confirm open dates before anchoring a trip to a specific week.
You are above the village, not in it; the complimentary shuttle to Splendido Mare on the piazzetta is how you reach harbour-level shops and restaurants without a water taxi fight.
Genoa Airport is about one hour; Santa Margherita Ligure is the practical rail head for train arrivals.
La Terrazza sunset tables are the reservation that defines the stay — lock them early.
