Set amid a coconut plantation, Amanpuri – the inaugural property in Aman’s intimate and renowned portfolio – overlooks a crescent of white sand and turquoise water on Phuket’s west coast.
Soundtracked by the whispers of coconut palms and the sighs of the Andaman Sea, Aman resides over its own peninsula, promising guests space, serenity, an idyllic white-sand beach and exceptional restaurants. Beyond the secluded beach, a fleet of cruisers is on-hand for island hopping, fishing and scuba-diving, while a number of Buddhist temples lie within easy reach.
Amanpuri Location
Amanpuri lies on a peninsula on the west coast of the Thai island of Phuket and is a 30-minute drive from Phuket International airport (HKT).
Accommodation
In Amanpuri, there are 2 different categories of accommodation, namely: pavilions and villas.
Discretely positioned across the coconut grove, Amanpuri's 40 wood-panelled, light-filled guest Pavilions all enjoy kingsize beds, large bathrooms, dressing areas and spacious outdoor salas for lounging and dining. While the distinctive pointed, tiled roofs nod to the ancient architecture of Ayutthaya, inside the aesthetic is clean and contemporary.

Dining
Amanpuri’s family of restaurants invites guests and non-residents on a gastronomic journey around the world, delving into the authentic culinary traditions of Thailand, Japan, Italy and the Mediterranean.
Buabok
Amanpuri’s main restaurant offers guests and non-residents an authentic Thai dining experience, shaped by the lifelong passion and peerless culinary expertise of Executive Chef Kannika Jitsangworn. Thai-inspired and international classic breakfasts are served here beside the pool each morning.
From smooth, aromatic curries to fresh salads and perfectly balanced pad thai, Buabok’s menu provides an insight into the best of Southern Thai cuisine, featuring freshly sourced produce, catch of the day from local fishing boats, and homegrown herbs and vegetables from the Amanpuri gardens.
Nama
Set beside the sea, Nama pays modern-day homage to Japan’s ancient culinary heritage, combining seasonal Japanese ingredients with local Phuket produce to create dishes of great delicacy and finely balanced flavour. Nama is open for lunch and dinner to both resort guests and non-residents between December and April.
Meaning 'raw' in Japanese, Nama follows Japan's Unesco-recognised tradition of washoku, a style of cuisine that elevates cooking to an art form, often taking years for chefs to perfect. Exquisitely crafted sushi and sashimi are at the heart of a menu that celebrates the finest seasonal ingredients, prepared using techniques that bring essential flavours to the fore.
Arva
Arva is Amanpuri's tribute to the conviviality and warmth of classic Italian cooking. Freshly caught fish, free range chicken and organic fruit and vegetables are paired with skill and dexterity by the executive chef to create a sociable, seasonal and sustainable menu showcasing timeless Italian recipes in their purest form.
Meaning ‘cultivated land’, Arva follows the southern Italian tradition of 'Cucina Del Raccolto’, and is creating exquisite dishes out of honest ingredients, grown in gardens or on farms, foraged from forest floors, or plucked fresh from the oceans. The chef's seasonal menu includes fresh pasta and risotto, along with bold, hearty piatti principali.
The Sunset Terrace
Situated next to Amanpuri’s iconic steps, The Sunset Terrace at Amanpuri is an idyllic setting offering breathtaking views across the resort’s iconic bay and the Andaman Sea. Guests are able to take advantage of direct access to the beach, delighting in the soundtrack of the waves as the sun dips below the horizon.
Whether gathering around the table with friends or enjoying a family event, this new drinking and dining venue, with its creative cocktail and food menu, celebrates coming together by providing a feast for the senses and an ideal location to enjoy a pre or post dining experience, or special occasion.
The Beach Terrace
Open seasonally for drinks and dining, Amanpuri's Beach Terrace showcases an authentic selection of local Thai specialties and fresh Mediterranean dishes alongside wood-fired pizzas and vibrant salads. With the Andaman Sea in full view, the lounge-style venue is ideal for a relaxing lunch.
Guests can also enjoy a wholly private dining experience with a variety of cuisines and menus, but perhaps one of the most romantic is a Thai barbecue hosted on the resort’s secluded stretch of Pansea Beach.
