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 Murray, Hong Kong, a Niccolo Hotel
