Concierge "The isolation and expansiveness of the hotel may frustrate more social travelers, but you'd be hard-pressed to find a resort more perfectly configured for a couple's escape."
Travel + Leisure "Phuket's Amanpuri is the very first Amanresorts property and, perhaps, the loveliest." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Amanpuri aptly reflects the tranquility and peace after which it is named. This luxurious pavilion and villa complex, nestled within coconut groves, overlooks a white sand beach."
Star Service "It is the flagship of Aman Resorts' extraordinary fleet of fashionable hotels that dot some of the planet's most exotic locales." Full review
Rough Guide "Secluded from the riffraff on Ao Pansea, this is a favourite haunt of royalty and Hollywood stars, who stay in the butler-staffed pavilions, some with their own pools."
Fodor's "You'd be hard-pressed to find a more sparklingly dignified hotel in Thailand." Full review
Gayot "Within a tranquil coconut plantation this pretty resort pampers guests with tropical villas and a soothing spa."

Lonely Planet "The Shore complex is an ultra-luxurious, peaceful, private world of pastel-painted villas fronted by a luscious infinity pool practically on the beach." Full review
Frommer's "This all villa property is on a steep hill just south of the main resort, and aims directly at the romantic getaway market with its secluded, luxurious pool villas; in fact, no children under 12-years-old are allowed to stay here" Full review
