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.
Jimbaran Puri, A Belmond Hotel
About 15 minutes from Ngurah Rai (DPS): unusually convenient for Bali luxury.
On-site temples are active worship spaces; dress and behaviour matter.
Wet season roughly November to March means afternoon storms and lush gardens.
Ubud is about 1.5 hours by road: plan as a day trip or split stay.
Summary
Amanpuri scores higher on our rubric, while Jimbaran Puri, A Belmond Hotel has more dining venues, while Jimbaran Puri, A Belmond Hotel lists more spa facilities.
