"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."

"A 10-minute walk from Kata Beach (or short ride on the complimentary shuttle), you’ll pass a small portico of stone with some Khmer statuary; walk in and you’ll discover a little Eden"
