Amanpuri

- 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.
Divani Palace Larissa
- Setting: the pedestrianised centre of Larissa beside the ancient theatre and close to the Pinios river.
- Eligible stays participate in GHA DISCOVERY, including DISCOVERY Dollars and tier recognition.
- Seasonal openings, restaurant schedules and spa access should be confirmed for the intended dates.
