We would be staying in leading rooms for both, so a Pavilion at Amanpuri or a Hideaway Pool Villa at SS.
My reservations are that after staying at Amanwella, being such a large resort with so few rooms, I’d fear Amanpuri may seem crowded and the service less personal if there is high occupancy. Meanwhile, with Six Senses I am aware the beach is not as nice as Amanpuri’s, and we do enjoy using the beach.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Puri , should not be “ crowded “ in May .. unlike now . But as some have said , it can be too quiet for some as Puri is even more spread out .
Since you loved Wella ( we did too ) , you would absolutely be delighted at Puri . No comparison really .
Cannot wait to return , even though the new gallery does not fit in with the timeless original architecture and the pioneer staff are no more .
But the legacy , wisely and thankfully , has been carried on by the team . It seems Nicolas I has been an inspiring GM for this team
Doubt we will make next week , another attempt to meet an FTer but more like April before your stay
Not that convenient getting to SS .. like the complimentary ice cream bar / parlour !
