A Tropical Affair

A trip to the Thai capital is synonymous with a good time. The province located in Southern Thailand over the years has become an increasingly popular choice with to-be-wed couples and corporate companies. Phuket is roughly the size of Singapore and is the biggest of the 1000s of islands scattered around Thailand's coastline. A delightful melange of coves, bays, islands, and pristine beaches set against the backdrop of fascinating history and culture, makes the destination a desirable one for hosting weddings and MICE. From January 1 to July 31, 2022, the country played host to three million travellers; out of which approximately 90,000 Indian tourists travelled to Phuket. In this feature, Business Traveller India spotlights some of the best luxury properties on the island for dreamy weddings or successful business events.

AMANPURI

Ensconced in the heart of a coconut plantation, Amanpuri overlooks a crescent of white sand and turquoise water on a peninsula on the west coast of Phuket. The opulent property is situated a 30-minute drive from Phuket International airport and proves to be a highly desirable location for all events, from weddings to corporate functions. Amanpuri's private peninsula offers a host of venues for special events including spectacular Amanpuri Villas, the Beach Club, Arva, Nama and Buabok restaurants. From menus, music, and entertainment, to flowers, decorations, group activities and cultural experiences, a dedicated team ensures every detail is taken care of. The property recommends guests who are hosting multi-day events, an island-hopping cruise of Phang Nga Bay with a beach barbeque, allowing the wedding party or corporate group to mingle before the bigger events. aman.com
