Phuket's iconic luxury resort Amanpuri is being closed from June 1st until the 30th as new road works are being constructed through the property to a new Phase 2.

Given that the current period is the lowest for the islands hotels which has been further pronounced by the recent Bangkok political events, the timing has created a long term opportunity. Of the new Phase reportedly 8 new villas are underway at present.

DO YOU LIKE THIS?

Hi Bill, Would you mind to give headers a less scary note than this one? Leads easily to misenterpretation when people just read that Amanpuri is closing down (permanently???)

cheers

Bill Barnett responds:
Yes thanks for the comment, actually the article was a plus as it shows a good biz opportunity for Aman to gear up to be even and better in the future.
