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.
Le Royal Monceau, Raffles Paris
Setting: Avenue Hoche near the Arc de Triomphe, with a contemporary art programme inside a 1928 palace hotel.
Eligible stays can earn ALL Accor Reward and Status points when the membership number is attached.
Restaurant, spa and seasonal resort schedules can change; verify them on the official property page for the intended dates.
