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.
Gallery Hotel Art
- The official site currently gives two different room totals, 70 and 72.
- 701 Rooftop Bar is seasonal and should be confirmed for the travel dates.
- This is a four-star design hotel with lighter facilities than the Portrait properties.
