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.
Mandarin Oriental, Munich
Setting: Munich Altstadt near Marienplatz and the Viktualienmarkt, inside a relatively intimate nineteenth-century building.
Fans of M.O. benefits require membership and, for selectable stay privileges, an eligible direct booking.
Restaurant, spa and seasonal resort schedules can change; verify them on the official property page for the intended dates.
