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.
Portrait Milano
- The central piazza is public and deliberately social, while guest rooms sit above it along the loggia.
- The hotel is within the Quadrilatero della Moda, so shopping access is exceptional.
- Eligible stays participate in Lungarno DISCOVERY and GHA DISCOVERY.
