Honest review
Amanpuri Resort nestles in the shade of coconut palms amid lush tropical greenery on the shore of the Andaman Sea — so close that from the villas you can hear the waves and enjoy their soothing sound. This singular resort promises guests serenity, a white-sand beach, magnificent restaurants and opportunities for a holistic wellness holiday.
The resort occupies a large site right on the hillside, and every point on it looks out over Phuket's west coast and the Andaman Sea. The hotel comprises 81 accommodations in the form of separate private pavilions and villas.
The former are refined homes with spacious bathrooms, generous dressing rooms, living rooms, bedrooms and plenty of open space overlooking the ocean or the garden. The villas are more restrained, with interiors reflecting Buddhist philosophy. They stand apart from the main resort, with views over the tips of the peninsula. In addition, all the villas offer spacious private pools with furnished terraces, along with housekeeping and a Thai chef who will prepare delicious local dishes at your request.
So what is there to do at the resort? Discover the beauty of Phuket's lush landscape, for example, on guided hikes through pristine rainforest. A four-hour morning walk in the national park
will introduce you to an astonishing diversity of local flora and fauna, including rare white-backed palms and unique birds. Phuket's colorful markets are an engaging way to sample traditional Thai food, watch street performers and encounter local arts and crafts. The island also has six superb golf courses spread among coconut plantations, coastal cliffs and picturesque gardens — among them, the famous country club
Every day, the resort's family of restaurants stands ready to take guests on a gastronomic journey around the world, introducing the authentic culinary traditions of Thailand, Japan, Italy and the Mediterranean. Here you can discover washoku, which translates from Japanese as “raw”.
