Aman Hotels: Luxury Stays in Japan, Bali, Greece, Caribbean & Beyond
Discover the world's most coveted Aman properties. I help you find the right sanctuary, secure exclusive perks, and craft multi-property itineraries.
Aman isn't just a hotel brand. It's a philosophy of travel: minimalist elegance, deep connection to place, impeccable service, and the kind of peace that only comes from being truly seen and cared for.
With properties spanning 20 countries on six continents, each Aman sanctuary is designed to feel like a private haven. Whether tucked into a Balinese jungle, perched above a Greek island, hidden in a Moroccan desert, or overlooking Mount Fuji in Japan, every Aman property is a destination in itself.
I've stayed at over a dozen Aman properties and work directly with the brand's preferred partner programs. I know which resorts deliver the most transformative experiences, which cabins (sorry, suites) are worth the upgrade, and how to secure perks, upgrades, and exclusive amenities that guests booking online simply can't access.
Let me help you find your perfect Aman sanctuary, secure VIP treatment, and create memories that last a lifetime.
Is Aman the Right Luxury Hotel Brand for You?
Aman attracts a specific kind of traveler. You know you're an Aman person if you value:
Minimalist design and understated elegance over glitz and grandeur
Authentic connection to place rather than standard luxury amenities
Intimate, peaceful environments with genuine privacy
Exceptional service that anticipates without hovering
Curated wellness and cultural experiences that enrich your journey
Exclusivity and discretion as standard practice
If loud pool scenes, multiple restaurants, and "everything" onsite feel overwhelming rather than appealing, Aman is your answer.

Why Work With an Aman Specialist Instead of Booking Direct
Aman properties are extraordinary, but navigating the portfolio, securing upgrades, and maximizing value requires insider knowledge.
I Save You Time & Decision Fatigue
Choosing between 36 properties across 20 countries is overwhelming. I ask key questions about your travel style, goals, and preferences, then recommend 2-3 Aman properties that are truly right for you, not just popular.
I Secure Exclusive Perks You Can't Get Online
Through preferred partnerships with Aman's luxury travel programs, I negotiate:
Complimentary breakfast (often a $100+ daily charge)
Room and villa upgrades
Resort credits ($100-$300+)
Flexible check-in and check-out
VIP welcome amenities
Priority reservations for specialty dining and experiences
I Know Which Properties Deliver on Their Promise
I've stayed at these properties. I know which suites have the best views, which regions are truly peaceful, which properties feel exclusive versus crowded, and which experiences are worth the splurge.
I Handle All the Details
From pre-arrival planning and custom itineraries to arranging spa treatments, coordinating private excursions, and managing any requests or issues, I ensure your Aman experience feels effortless from booking to departure.
I Create Multi-Property Itineraries
Many travelers want to experience multiple Amans in one journey. I specialize in designing regional Aman circuits: Japan's three cities, Bali plus a second property, or creating a multi-country journey connecting Aman experiences across Asia, Europe, or the Caribbean.
Aman Hotels FAQs
How do I choose between all these Aman properties?
Great question. Here's my framework for choosing your Aman:
Start with region and climate: Do you want Japan, Bali, Mediterranean, Caribbean, or something unexpected? What time of year are you traveling?
Then consider experience type: Are you seeking cultural immersion (Bhutan, Japan, Morocco), wellness and spa (Amanemu, Amanzoe), beach escape (Amanpulo, Amanyara), adventure (Amangiri), or romance (Aman Venice, Amanera)?
Finally, think about travel style: Do you prefer staying in one place for deep immersion, or would you rather island-hop between multiple Amans? Do you want villa accommodations for families, or intimate suites for couples?
I combine these factors with your specific interests and design personalized recommendations. This is exactly what my consultation service does.
What's the difference between Aman properties in different regions?
While every Aman follows the brand's philosophy (minimalism, service, place connection), each region has a distinct personality:
Asian Amans emphasize spiritual and cultural immersion. Japan properties (Tokyo, Kyoto) offer Zen design and Japanese traditions. Bhutan's Amankora is a spiritual journey. Southeast Asian properties (Amanpulo, Amandari, Amankila) blend local culture with tropical tranquility.
European Amans celebrate history and timeless elegance. Venice's palazzo and Sveti Stefan's medieval island are architectural statements. Greece's Amanzoe emphasizes wellness and Aegean beauty.
Americas Amans range from desert adventure (Amangiri) to tropical island escape (Amanyara, Amanera).
I help match your interests to the right regional experience.
Are Aman properties good for families?
Some Amans are family-friendly; others are better suited to couples.
Best for families:
Amanpuri (Phuket) offers multi-bedroom villas with private chefs and beach access
Amanyara (Turks & Caicos) has spacious villas and calm beaches perfect for kids
Amanpulo is ideal for multi-generational families seeking private island exclusivity
Amandari & Amankila (Bali) offer activities like cooking classes and cultural experiences
Better for couples:
Aman Tokyo, Aman Kyoto (intimate urban settings)
Aman Venice (romantic Grand Canal evenings)
Amanera (dramatic cliffside romance)
Amanzoe (couples' spa and wellness focus)
I help families and couples identify which properties match their travel party and interests.
What's included at Aman properties, and what costs extra?
Aman is transparent about inclusions. Generally included:
Room or villa accommodation
Service charges and taxes
Some Amans include breakfast (others charge $80-$150+)
Access to most facilities (pools, gardens, beach)
WiFi
Usually not included:
Meals beyond breakfast (dinner at Aman's restaurants is à la carte)
Spa treatments
Private excursions and activities
In-suite bar items
Guided experiences (some are extra; some are included)
When I book your stay, I provide a full breakdown of what's included and what to budget for. I also negotiate breakfast inclusion and resort credits as part of your booking perks.
How far in advance should I book an Aman?
For most Amans, 6 to 9 months in advance is ideal. This gives you:
Widest availability for preferred suite types and locations
Better access to promotional rates and packages
Time to plan multi-property itineraries
Ability to coordinate with activities and experiences
Popular properties during peak seasons (Amanpulo in December, Aman Venice in May, Amangiri in March) may require 12+ months advance booking.
That said, I monitor Aman availability constantly and can sometimes access last-minute opportunities (60-90 days out) at discounted rates if they need to fill inventory.
Can I combine multiple Aman properties in one trip?
Absolutely. Many guests combine Amans for regional immersion. Popular combinations:
Japan circuit: Aman Tokyo (3 nights) > Aman Kyoto (3 nights) > Amanemu (2 nights) for a cultural and wellness journey
Bali multi-property: Amandari (3 nights) > Amankila (3 nights) for rice field and coastal experiences
Asia adventure: Amanpulo (4 nights) > Amanjiwo (3 nights) > Aman Summer Palace (3 nights) for island, temple, and cultural immersion
Caribbean escape: Amanera (4 nights) > Amanyara (4 nights) for Dominican Republic and Turks & Caicos island hopping
I specialize in designing multi-Aman itineraries with coordinated transportation, activities, and seamless transitions.
What's the best time to visit different Aman properties?
Aman Tokyo & Kyoto: Spring (March-May) and autumn (September-November). Avoid typhoon season (July-September).
Amanemu (Japan): Year-round, though spring and autumn are ideal for outdoor activities.
Amankora (Bhutan): March-May and September-November for clear skies and temperate weather.
Amanjiwo & Southeast Asia: November-March (dry season). Avoid monsoon months.
European Amans: May-June and September-October. Summer (July-August) is warm but crowded.
Caribbean & Americas: December-April (dry season). May-November sees hurricane season, though rates are lower and crowds minimal.
I recommend your ideal travel dates based on climate, crowds, and seasonal experiences.
How do Aman properties compare to other luxury hotel brands?
Fair question. Here's how Aman differs:
Aman vs. Four Seasons: Four Seasons offers more amenities and dining options onsite. Aman offers more minimalism, privacy, and spiritual connection to place.
Aman vs. Mandarin Oriental: Mandarin is more design-forward and urban-focused. Aman prioritizes peace and authenticity over visible luxury.
Aman vs. Rosewood: Both are ultra-luxury and personalized. Rosewood leans slightly more toward adventure and experiences. Aman leans toward spiritual sanctuary and wellness.
Aman vs. Six Senses: Both emphasize wellness and sustainability. Aman's design is more minimalist. Six Senses is more adventure and activity-focused.
The honest answer: Aman is best if you value peace, privacy, design, and place connection. If you want more activities, dining options, and onsite amenities, other brands might suit you better.
