quotes from the media

"The picturesque bay of the Andaman Sea lies beneath us at the West coast of Thailand. Slowly the sun rises from the gently purling waves and paints the entire scenery in an atmospheric light. The scent of jasmine blossoms eliminates any remaining feelings of stress or gloom. This sense of complete relaxation, calm and serenity must Adrian Zecha also have felt when he came here first to found his first Amanresort, Amanpuri (‘peaceful place’) on this green peninsula of Phuket."

"Amidst the hills of the former coconut plantation architect Ed Tuttle has created a secluded small paradise where a timeless elegant design and modern luxury harmonize with the traditional architectural style of Thailand."

"A special highlight are Amanpuri’s Amancruises. In the early morning we start with the 27 metres yacht ‘Maha Bhetra’ to our full-day cruise to the small islets and bays of Phang Nga and Krabi. … Besides the luxurious swimming vessel we are very impressed by the dreamlike setting of the sea. The attentive crew caters for any needs and fulfils our wishes almost before we have verbalized them, and we are spoiled with citrus-scented towels, cold drinks and Thai specialities."

"Twenty five years ago, the opening of Amanpuri resort saw high style arrive in a backpacker haven"

"It's all about the details, from candles and musicians around the pool at dinner time to the edible flowers mixed in with the pomelo and seabass carpaccio served on richly ornate fine china in the Japanese restaurant." 

"My stay at the five-bedroom ocean view villa in the Amanpuri in Phuket was as close to a perfect vacation as you can get."

Amanpuri形如一弯洁白的新月，是一个远离尘嚣的圣地。

“Amanpuri, the Holy land far from the maddening crowd, looks like a bright new moon.”

“And you thought your local Equinox was nice: Andaman Sea views from this glass-walled, rare-wooded, 3,800-square-foot gym will make you salivate as you sweat. Hit the machines or pump up with a custom Pilates program.”

“With the throngs of tourists today, its hard to imagine that Phuket was ever remote. Which is why it’s all the more impressive that the superluxe Amanpuri, originally opened in 1987 and arguably one of the most splurge-worthy properties in town, continues to define luxury in Southeast Asia.”

“The constituent parts at Amanpuri are phenomenal and at times, breath-taking.”

“No matter how full the hotel is, you often find yourself operating in your own romantic bubble, unobserved and uninterrupted and service is at the heart of everything Amanpuri does.”
