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.
The Chancery Rosewood
- Grosvenor Square is ideal for Mayfair shopping and galleries.
- The architecture is modernist rather than traditionally English.
- Dining reservations should be made early.
