Amanpuri is a great hotel but the brand and price point command very high expectations. We have stayed at 6 Aman properties around the world as well as many Ritz Reserves so that is the lens by which we judge the hotel.
Plusses: 1. Beautiful property with well appointed rooms 2. Food was generally very tasty 3. Spa treatments were good 4. Staff were generally responsive and very friendly, in particular the restaurant wait staff. Our driver from the airport was also great and went out of his way to find a place where we could buy fruit. 5. Lucky a server in the restaurant went the extra mile and brought some green mangoes from her own garden and home made shrimp paste that my wife was craving. 6. Room service was very fast
Areas needing work: 1. Central reservations are not great. They failed to connect us with anyone to plan our trip itinerary after booking outside of getting flight information. We were arriving in the morning and they tried to hard upsell us on booking an extra night which left a bad taste 2. There’s not much to do. We did a blessing at a temple which was nice though the temple very basic and visited the elephant sanctuary. 3. I asked for some specific fruit that my wife was craving. Initially they said they could get it but there would be an extra charge which i agreed to despite feeling when you are spending $2500 per night customising a fruit bowl should not be something ai am charged for. Ultimately they said they could only get one of the requested fruits and did not follow through.

Traveling around Aman destinations for a couple years and it’s time to go back again for the third time in this hidden gem of Phuket. I was very excited to come back again after a very long time. Everything was amazing from the moment we landed at Phuket International Airport. Got greeted by an Amanpuri representative who was holding a Amanpuri wooden sign board as usual and 40 minutes later, we were in paradise.
The arrival. The moment I saw the dark grey wooden roof, everything felt like home. I was shocked by how well maintained this place is given the age of the property. Was greeted by the hotel team with their welcome ritual and drinks which tasted so good especially after an early morning flight. We were told that our room was not ready yet so we decided to have early lunch at Arva, the hotel’s Italian restaurant as we were planning to do some activities throughout the day. Our room was ready after lunch and we went straight back to change for some activities.
The room. I would like to put the category under 2 parts as I was staying in 2 type of rooms. I decided this Phuket trip one night before arrival to escape the Bangkok heatwave and the choice of room available for that night was only the Garden Pavilion.
•GARDEN PAVILION A nice room, with outdoor living terrace (sala) surrounded by the garden. Comfy bed for - good night rest. Everything is now controlled by a touch screen panel on the wall or via the room iPad. Welcome fruit of basket and cards were placed in the room too. The bathroom was big enough and it’s not an Aman if it’s not attention to details. I was travelling with my partner and 2 amenities for men were already in the room. Usually I have to request it again when I’m in another hotel. One thing to note is bugs and mosquitoes staying in this room.
•PARTIAL OCEAN POOL PAVILION On the second night, I saw that this room has become available on their website. Went to the lobby lounge ask if it’s possible for me to pay the difference between the rooms and they agreed to do it. I never regret that decision, turns out to be one of my favorite room in the property. The room layout is the same with Garden Pavilion, but it has very generous outdoor living space and a spacious private pool for you to swim laps in private or even host a pool party (which I did with a small group of friends who decided to join us to stay in Amanpuri). The view was breathtaking. I spent the rest of my stay inside that pool instead of the public pool. Ofc, less bugs too and I felt like I had a pet squirrel during my stay as one of them was chilling around the pavilion too. My pavilion 604 has a very nice view of sunset too.
Facilities A private beach, 3 pools, a gym with gorgeous view, restaurants, spa, a newly renovated boutique which has everything you need (bought lots of their clothing) what else do you need? As the first Aman hotels, it’s not uncommon to have so many steps of stairs from the public facilities to your room, but Aman has a buggy service to bring you anywhere inside the estate with just one call away. Even if when you’re feeling lazy taking the staircase, just ring them up and they will happily bring you to your room from the lobby or vice versa. Despite the full occupancy during my trip, I still barely see anyone at the public area. Non motorised watersport is complimentary but the waves was too high to enjoy so we ended up chilling by the beach and doing a short swim in the ocean.
Dining I don’t usually compliment foods or drinks as I’m a chef and used to be a bartender, but the credits should be given to them. There’s multiple of restaurants inside the hotel. I had the chance to try Beach Terrace, Buabok, Arva and Sunset Terrace. For spice lovers, try their Crab Curry from Buabok. It’s definitely the best crab curry I have ever tried before. Arva has amazing pasta and steak with a nice and extensive selection of premium wine to pair your dinner. Beach Terrace was good, but Sunset Terrace was next level. Sunset Terrace is a bar serving snack foods and their specialise drink is Negroni (I assume as there’s tons of different negroni in the menu). Try their Elder Flower Negroni, it’s not your typical one but it tasted magical. There’s also a complimentary tea time by the main pool area everyday from 4pm to 5pm with traditional Thai cakes and delicious passionfruit drinks, my favorite is the one with lemongrass infused water. A suggestion, more food option on Arva would be nice as I ran out of ideas what to eat on the second night.
Service Two words to describe, UNQUESTIONABLY GREAT. From arrival to check out, everything was seamless which is the usual Aman standard. I would like to mention 2 names that really highlight the stay, Khun Nun and Khun Ang. Both of them was the best keeping up with all my requests and even try to assist me during their off days, talk about best service. I was running out of cigarettes during the stay and they offered to help me get it from the nearest convenient store as I was too lazy to leave the property. One night, I came back to my pavilion and there’s already a bottle of wine waiting for me with a very romantic set up, a room full of candles and rose petals. Turndown team was also great, setting up different gifts every night and I finally own the Amanjunkie tshirt from Amanpuri! Electric repellent was also set up as I told them there’s too many bugs on my first night which I appreciate.
One small problem, the famous ‘ninja’ housekeeping team among amanjunkie was not spotted. In every Aman stay, they will come to the room to tidy up even though you only crease your bedsheet as soon as you left your room. I came back a few times during the day and the room was still messy. But as I mentioned before, the hotel was on very high occupancy during my stay, so maybe they can’t constantly do it. But no big deal, one call away and the housekeeping team will arrive in no time to clean your room. No managers was on sight too during my stay which is not usual for Aman.
Upon check out, I decided to extend my Phuket stay for a night but my partner and friends wanted to try another establishment. There was some mixed up on my booking and Khun Ang helped me to call the hotel and make sure everything was settled before my arrival there, I coudn’t be more thankful. I accidentally left some of my skincare too and Amanpuri was so kind to send it to my new hotel at night without any additional charge, real service.
I was presented with a box of AMAN chocolate before my departure and given a proper send off by their hotel car to the next hotel. Overall, it was a memorable stay and I couldn’t wait to visit Amanpuri again in the near future!

My favorite place on the planet!!! The most amazing hotel in the world - definitely worthy of the 3 keys awarded to them.
Architecturally stunning, set on the most beautifully maintained peninsula in Phuket, management has thought of every detail down to bringing in pristine sand to their private beach!
Service is of the highest standards, well trained staff are always ready to help, oftentimes offering assistance, food, refreshments, and other thoughtful touches before being asked.
Kids club (with skateboarding, DJ booths, wildlife station, climbing wall) always happy to keep young kids busy, beach activities perfect for teens, private kick booking ring with private coaching, massive state of the art techno gym, yoga and meditation, and the gorgeous spa all a short buggy ride away.
Well done on recent restaurant upgrades, the one weak point before!
Always have an amazing stay when there. The one place I feel wrapped in a warm cocoon of care and service at every step… love it so much we don’t even leave the property for days.

We chose to stay at Amanpuri Phuket to celebrate our daughter's special occasion.
She turned 18, and we wanted to choose the best for her on this occasion. We were not disappointed at all because the hotel is luxurious and offers excellent service. The rooms are very clean, so clean that there is no room for complaints. We were upgraded to a sea-view room with a swimming pool. We feel very grateful to the management for prioritizing customers and understanding that doing something special for them will result in the best outcome. We would like to thank the management very much for paying attention to details and making our special occasion even more special.
All the restaurant staff were excellent, and the food was very fresh and delicious, especially the Thai food.
The beach is very beautiful with white sandy shores, and the sea is crystal clear blue.
We really love the afternoon tea set provided for free to customers. Kanom Krok, Thai traditional sweets, along with various Thai snacks, make us feel joyful and excited every afternoon when we stop by to enjoy it along with the beautiful view.
We feel very lucky that we decided to choose this hotel to celebrate this occasion. We will definitely come back to use the service again.

From the arrival till departure, Amanpuri is flawless. We are Amanjunkies and from all the Aman we visited, Amanpuri stands out. Lovely touch , for our anniversary our room was with baloons and champagne, wow what a surprise. We had the garden pavillon and its spotless, lovely lanai and spacious. Bed is comfy and the housekeepers always refresh the room daily, or everytime we leave they just arrange things and clean. The resort has a lovely sandy beach and the restaurants are all good. The thai restaurant is the best we have tried in Thailand, all the Menu is just so delicious and fresh. The Italian is great as well as the japanese. All outstanding and top quality. Milena the manager is very warm , kind and welcoming,, she makes us feel at home. The waitresses and waiters are all so kind. All the staff are just lovely people. Service is outstanding, this is truly Aman. We love the afternoon tea too. This was one of our best Aman experience. We cant have enough of it. Will come back again. Thank you all Amaopuri staff for this memorable, lovely stay.

Our magnificent stay at Amanpuri was a first class experience from start to finish. We stayed six nights in mid-December, 2024 as part of our wedding anniversary celebration. The spectacular location of this luxury hotel is on the Indian Ocean with soothing beaches and grounds that take one's breath away. Only a 45-minute drive from the Phuket International Airport, this seaside masterpiece incorporates the terrain and beautiful architecture to accentuate its idyllic setting.
Our Pool Pavilion was exceptionally decorated with more amenities than one would expect even from a luxury resort. The private pool was huge and the outdoor space was a wonderful place for us to relax and enjoy each other’s company. While access to our room from the other parts of the resort required many stair steps, the tranquil surroundings took our breath away almost as much as the climb. For those so inclined, the buggy service to and from the main lobby is quick, efficient, and comfortable.
The most impressive part of our stay with Amanpuri was the staff. These people were exceptionally friendly and helpful in every possible way. Simple touches like addressing us by our names and remembering our preferences made us feel pampered and appreciated. A few people on the staff of Manager Sea who really took care of our needs during the stay include Krit, Pop, K, Beer, and the entirety of reception personnel.
We highly recommend Amanpuri to other travelers and plan on a return trip in the very near future.

We had a truly memorable experience at Amanpuri, undoubtedly, the best luxury resort in Phuket. Such a wonderful experience for us, peace, great service and memorable dining experiences. Beach is so beautiful, privacy and sunny days!
Our partial ocean view Pavilion was spacious and housekeeping show great attention to detail with eye glass lens wipes and mobile charger tidy sets, love it.
I love breakfast as there is a daily Thai special dish and fluffy French toast which is WOW, egg benedict etc fresh juices are also a must try. Sadly I cannot try all the dishes within two days. :)
Of course you cannot miss Thai food at Buabok, fresh seafood and authentic Thai food such as fresh spring roll with crab meat and crab curry and other southern dishes. We also had lunch at the Beach Terrace with stunning views; new exciting menu of stunning Brittany Dover sole, fresh Gillardeau oysters, Sicilian langoustines and wagyu hamburger with blue cheese, all wow!
Arva, their signature Italian restaurant has lots of must try pasta dishes with premium products including Brittany Blue Lobster, imported Buratta and elegant fish dishes you will never forget. Italian classics combined with a modern touch. A truly romantic location with seaviews and Italian cuisine which is both authentic and stylish. Vitello Tonnato must try another stand out dish.
We will certainly come back here again to our second home.
Thank you Amanpuri team as you are the STARS!

Note to self don’t pull up at a five star *super hotel* in scruffy clothes and looking like you’ve been dragged through a hedge backwards (we’d come off a windy boat)! Really regret not being a bit tidier. The super beautiful and very tidy managers did well to smile and welcome us. We were early and our room was not ready so we went to the beach restaurant (gorgeous) for an early lunch with a much anticipated lovely bottle of dry white wine. My jaw hit the floor at the price of a bottle of bog-standard Oyster Bay SB. Thank heavens for the 2K prosecco! Phew. Having got that off my chest the Aman is perfect. Just lovely. The beach is stunning. The villas are immaculate (would love to know how they do that after so long where so many fail) and bang up to date with technology that actually worked for us (normally we are the kiss of death to an iPad lighting system). I want to move the bathroom (and in particular the shower) to my home. When you leave your bedroom for breakfast you return confident that your room will be made up on return. This one of a gazillion reasons people like Amans. The (notionally) free minibar is a boon and an excellent idea – particularly as it has more than one coffee capsule each (Illy the best) and milk (note to others who will remain nameless) and the prettiest kettle I have ever seen. Cups a wee bit small for tea however… and a handle would be nice with boiling water… Also while I’m here there are very few charging points (I guess age of hotel) so I was thankful for my trusty gang plug. We missed out on an upgrade which was part of the resident’s deal ‘if available’ so were in a basic (haha there is nothing basic in the Aman) pavilion. No complaints and in fairness we were a last minute booking and the hotel was at 80% capacity (yes!) due to Chinese New Year, Valentine’s day and the absolutely stonking rates offered just now. Well done to the people who worked out that they could attract locals with this. The hotel was buzzing. I would have preferred an a la carte breakfast. The semi buffet was a little chaotic and was neither one thing nor the other. Then on day two my wish came true (Aman does that!) so the set up was an aberration due to busy weekend. Breakfast was fine. Other food was OK but not legendary. Nun’s spicy (very) fresh bloody Mary on the beach was worth the wait and absolutely best ever. I’ve marked down every other place we stayed in this trip. Sometimes for lesser issues than we encountered with Amanpuri. But let’s just face this square on – this is a grandmother hotel – one of the first of the super luxury venues in the world. It is a pure classic after merely 30 years’ service. To give it less than five would be disrespectful but please for goodness sake do something with your wine prices.

Traveled under the Phuket Sandbox arrangements. Significant paperwork, but once you are here, it is all forgotten. Amanpuri is in fantastic shape, impeccably clean and lovely landscaped amid tropical vegetation. Its private beach is a dream come true, very attentive service for the sun beds, a cool beach bar, white sand and shallow water, so kids-friendly. We opted for one of the smaller pavilions, but even that was very impressive. Very recently refurbished and equipped with up to date technology and controls, it featured a very spacious bed and living room, an equally large bathroom area with tub and separate shower and large outdoor private space. Housekeeping kept their eyes on the pavilion all the time; whenever we left, they came in and brought everything in perfect order. Management and staff are great, and if you like Thai food, Chef Kannika is the best! We have been at many Thai restaurants in Bangkok and elsewhere, but Kannika’s cuisine is exceptionally pleasant, with a great variety of dishes from Phuket, and also other regions of Thailand. Above all, she is very kind and caring, and took her time to explain things to us. Breakfast, including Thai dishes, is also served at the Thai restaurant. There is also an Italian restaurant that we are sure is excellent, too, but we never checked it out. The sunset bar’s signature drinks are another recommendation. This was our first time at Amanpuri, the third Aman experience. Love to come back!
