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.
Romazzino, A Belmond Hotel
Via Romazzino, Arzachena / Porto Cervo area; about 40 minutes from Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport (OLB).
Private sandy beach with La Maddalena views; one seawater and one freshwater pool.
Children's club makes this a stronger family fit than many Belmond Italians.
