Since its opening in 1988, the Thai beach resort of Amanpuri has established a reputation for personal service, fine cuisine and cruising, all of which complement the natural beauty of its tropical island surroundings.

Drinks and light snacks are served beach- and pool-side throughout the day. Located on the west coast of Phuket, Thailand’s largest island, Amanpuri looks out over the turquoise expanse of the Andaman Sea. The resort’s 40 Thai- styled pavilions and 32 private villas are interspersed throughout a mature coconut plantation. Each pavilion has an outdoor sala and sun deck. Elevated walkways connect the pavilions to the resort’s facilities. Pavilion rates are deter- mined according to view and location, with Ocean Pavilions 105 and 103 enjoying the most spectacular views of the Andaman Sea. Three pavilions feature their own private pools and all are surrounded by lush tropical vegetation which provides shade and privacy. Each pavilion includes a large bedroom with a writing desk. The elegant pavilion bedrooms lead to a spacious dressing area with twin vanities, then on to a sunken bath and separate shower. Most pavilions feature outdoor areas with day beds.
