Hotel Information




 

Amanpuri Hotel

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

Located on the west coast of Phuket, Thailand's largest island, Amanpuri is surrounded by the Andaman Sea. The resort's 40, Thai-style pavilions and 30 private villa homes are interspersed throughout a mature coconut plantation.

Amanpuri , a Sanskrit word meaning "place of peace," reflects its name in more ways than one. The entrance sala, surrounded by lotus ponds, overlooks the resort's main swimming pool, the restaurants and bar.
