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.
Las Casitas, A Belmond Hotel
- About three hours by road from Arequipa; plan transfers as part of the experience.
- Every casita has a private heated plunge pool for stargazing soaks.
- Cruz del Cóndor and canyon hikes are the daytime reason to come.
- Only one full restaurant; expect Curiña most nights.
Summary
Las Casitas, A Belmond Hotel has more dining venues.
