“I’ve never visited an Aman property that has been out of place with its surroundings. None more so than Amanpuri, the resort that Adrian [Zecha] conceived with architect Edward Tuttle over 20 years ago. The goal was to build a contemporary hotel that would not be out of place with its surroundings and the location they chose was a coconut plantation, on a cliff overlooking Pansea Beach on the island of Phuket. Arriving here today is like coming home, even if you’ve never visited before and you are soon into the routine of relaxing, relaxing and then relaxing some more.”
