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, New York

  • Setting: the upper floors of Deutsche Bank Center at Columbus Circle, where Central Park meets Midtown and the Upper West Side.
  • 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.
