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.
Six Senses Crans-Montana
- Six Senses is wellness-led but not a rigid retreat; book diagnostics or treatments early if that is your priority.
- Transfers can be a material part of the stay—confirm domestic flights, boats, roads, and weather contingencies.
- Rates and meal inclusions vary sharply by resort and season; compare the total, not the headline room rate.
