Our favourite rooms
Jutting out over the Andaman, pavilions 103 and 105 have the most striking sea views and oodles of space. The Garden Pavilions, woven amongst the coconut palms, also get the Smith stamp of approval.
Packing tips
There are no TVs in rooms, so if you need a DVD fix, bring a portable player. Otherwise, beach books and board games should see you through.
Also
You can take PADI-accredited scuba courses at Amanpuri, then charter one of the 20 cruisers, yachts and speedboats for some undersea adventure. For those less inclined to take the plunge, snorkelling gear is on hand at the beach.
