Amanpuri
Amanpuri is a luxury resort located on Pansea Beach on the west coast of the island of Phuket in Thailand. The resort is owned by Amanresorts. Amanpuri means "place of peace" in Sanskrit.
==History==
While in Phuket looking for a site upon which to build a holiday home, Adrian Zecha was walking along Pansea Beach when he came across a coconut plantation which occupied a prime location.〔Miller, S. "Be my guest, please." ''Condé Nast Traveler'', Dec. 2007, p. 125.〕 Plans to build a home on the site soon developed into an idea to build a small boutique resort, in partnership with Anil Thadani and two other friends. They spent mainly their own money as no banks would lend for the project due to the small number of planned rooms, instead of the 500-room hotel they thought would be more practical. The resort was opened in 1988 at a cost of US$4 million.〔Hilditch, T. "Paradise Regained." Asiaweek.com, 15 June 2001.〕
The resort pioneered the concept of a small, super-exclusive resort designed to complement the location’s natural setting. The resort was designed by American architect Edward Tuttle, who took his inspiration from traditional Thai temple architecture. The design eschewed ostentation in favour of intimate luxury, which manifested itself in the absence of a reception desk, bellboys or lobby, with accommodation provided in either individual pavilions or villas. At the time of the opening of Amanpuri these innovations were groundbreaking, and led to Amanpuri becoming one of the best known resorts in Asia.
