Aman's firstborn

On a visit to Amanpuri, we enjoyed the charm and style of the first Aman resort. Its success led to a chain of uberluxurious Aman resorts, which bring people back year after year.

Facing gorgeous views of the Andaman sea, 40 Thai-style pavilions and 43 villa homes with 2 to 10 bedrooms spread out in a coconut plantation with generous outdoor living areas and immaculate Thai style. 

Stunning views

Many of the pavilions and all of the villa homes offer private pools.

Harmonious interiors and up to 10 bedrooms


Perfect touches

 
24 hour butler service in all the villa homes

Amanpuri is privileged to have one of the few private beaches on Phuket…

Here are some more of Amanpuri's charms…

The famous black pool.

This was the first black pool on the island, 26 years ago. Dark colours hold the sun's heat and save energy.

We had a lovely lunch with the GM…

A resort for discerning people.  Repeaters at Aman resorts are fondly known as Aman junkies. Once you have experienced these heights of style and service...you want more.

More for "Aman junkies"....

The news that has excited our Aman junkies: a brand new Aman resort opens in a few days time, the third in Europe. Select was one of the few tour operators that were offered a preview of Amanzoe, so we have already put up a Select travel blog on this new Grecian charmer. Maybe it is obvious, but the term "Aman junkie" was coined for those who want only one holiday “fix” – an Aman resort.

We have wonderful partnerships with many of the world's most exclusive hotels, and one of our very special partners is Amanresorts. We offer 22 Aman properties in our Select Collection, all the last word in chic charm and exclusivity.

If you have not yet tasted the Aman elixir…one of the following might make a good start.
