Sitting on a jungle-covered peninsula on the west coast of Phuket, this haven looks over the soft, white sands of Pansea Beach to the sparkling Andaman Sea. The resort’s 40 standalone pavilions feature vaulted ceilings, polished teak floors, Thai antiques and private outdoor dining salas. Their distinctive roofs evoke the architecture of Ayutthaya – the ancient capital of Siam.
The Pool Terrace opens throughout the day offering fresh fish and prime meats, reminiscent of a bustling food market. The Thai Restaurant is the place for southern Thai specialities for lunch or dinner, while Nama also opens for lunch and dinner but follows Japan’s tradition of washoku, a style of cuisine that elevates cooking to an art form. Amanpuri’s newest restaurant, The Lounge, takes inspiration from Mexican street food and mixes vibrant handcrafted cocktails.
