About Amanpuri, Phuket
Amanpuri is the original Aman — pavilions and villas on a headland of coconut palms above Pansea beach — and the most exclusive wedding address in Thailand: 40 pavilions plus villas, a Terrace that seats 250 (500 with the pool covered), and a buyout that turns the estate into a private house for an Indian wedding of 60 to 150 who want discretion above everything.
Panigrahana designs Amanpuri with restraint — the black-tiled pool, the palms, candlelight — and a production list sized for an Aman.
