Considering that we have been to Puri numerous times since ' 89 , one wonders why we haven't made it to that lovely reef .
Secretly though , before this post , an excuse or good reason to return when others ask why we do not go stay at other / newer Amans but keep returning to Puri .
Why does one go ' home ' ? - one of many
??

If going to Vietnam, you could do both Amanoi and FS Nam Hai pretty easily. The FS has a lot of sights to see outside of the resort, and Amanoi is really about the resort.

In my opinion, not much to do an Amanoi other than relax by the pool and beach. We did not find the excursions particularly interesting compared to other Aman locations, So the decision of how much time to spend there is how long you want to do very little.

Another good thing about Mauritius is that you can rent and car and explore the island. It's very scenic and has a diverse culture. It's a proper country, not just a big resort.

I would probably head for a couple days in Tokyo and then take the TN flight to FS Bora Bora... the perfect time to visit French Polynesia, although I realize it is hardly Asia.
I've done Phuket in April/May and it's a gamble indeed.
