The Amanpuri Phuket : The perennial grand old lady of Surin Beach

The perennial grand old lady of Surin Beach, Amanpuri Resort Phuket, was the jewel in the crown for the Aman Resort Group when it was built in 1987. It is here that you will rub shoulders with the rich and famous as they chill out away from the maddening crowd. It is here that what your money can buy is privacy amidst unadulterated luxury and discreteness.

Timeless elegance of moody natural dark stone and rich wood tones are used in a Thai architectural haven of seductiveness. After 25 odd years, it still lives up to its reputation as one of the most exclusive resorts in Phuket. Just 30 minutes from the Phuket International Airport, Amanpuri Resort Phuket is built in a coconut plantation sitting on a cliff top over one of Phuket’s most famous beaches. It boasts 40 spacious Thai inspired pavilions & 30 private villas, and you can enjoy your own individual outdoor sala with Wi-Fi access throughout. Bathrooms that you could have a party in, let alone the king sized beds.

With its own beach club and private beach, there is a fleet of cruisers to explore the Andaman Sea at your feet. If a spot of tennis is your thing and your indulged muse does not wish to abuse their body, you can even hire a “playing” partner for that extra session of strenuous activity. Complimentary yoga and meditation sessions are available for those of a more aesthetic persuasion.

Despite it being quite easy to explore the vicinity of Surin Beach and its myriad beach clubs, small bars and Thai restaurants littered along the shoreline, the service at Amanpuri Resort may hinder your desire to leave your own slice of heaven.

This is the resort to escape to and luxuriate in what your disposable cash can buy you.
