Luxury Holidays to Aman Resorts: What Makes Them So Special?

Aman Resorts are synonymous with quiet luxury, rare locations, and flawless service. If you’ve ever considered luxury holidays to Aman Resorts, you’ll understand the unique pull they have — understated, yet unforgettable. From private jungle escapes to slick city sanctuaries, Aman’s properties are as iconic as they are intimate.

So what exactly makes Aman so special? Let’s explore their magic, property by property.

What Sets Aman Resorts Apart?

Luxury holidays to Aman Resorts are not just about lavish décor or Michelin-star meals. They’re about space, peace, and an unrivalled sense of belonging. Aman hotels are typically small — many have fewer than 40 rooms — and they’re always located in areas of cultural or natural wonder.

What you’ll notice immediately is the feeling of calm. Staff seem to appear when you need them and vanish when you don’t. There’s a natural rhythm to life here. It’s not performative; it’s personal.

Aman Resorts are known for their serene design and considered locations, deeply rooted in culture and nature. Aman’s story and philosophy have been studied by architects and travellers alike, setting a global benchmark for quiet luxury.

Expect minimalist design that doesn’t distract from the surroundings. Expect open-air spaces, generous villas, and spa experiences that lean into local healing traditions. It’s all done in a way that never shouts. It simply feels right.

You won’t find buffet lines or oversized lobbies. Instead, you’ll find privacy, grace, and deep rest.

Amanpuri, Thailand

Aman’s first resort, Amanpuri, opened in 1988 on the west coast of Phuket. The name means ‘place of peace’ — a fitting title for what would become the foundation of the Aman philosophy.

Tucked into a coconut grove on a private peninsula, Amanpuri overlooks the Andaman Sea. The pavilions and villas are inspired by ancient Ayutthayan architecture, and each one is surrounded by lush gardens or ocean views.

It feels like you’ve stepped into a secret world.

Guests can enjoy private beach dinners, holistic spa therapies, and even a wellness immersion tailored to individual goals. There’s a focus on balance — mind, body, and spirit.

Amanjena, Morocco

Set just outside the red city walls of Marrakech, Amanjena blends Moorish design with serene gardens and sweeping views of the Atlas Mountains. It feels like a palace, yet operates like your private home.

Luxury holidays to Aman Resorts rarely deliver quite the same atmosphere as Amanjena. Here, rose-hued walls change tone with the sun, reflecting the desert’s quiet drama.

You can spend your days exploring the souks and spices of Marrakech or lounging by the immense, green-tiled pool. Evenings are for tagines under the stars or a hammam ritual in the spa.

There’s a beautiful symmetry to the resort — not just in its layout, but in how it balances discovery with tranquillity.

Aman Tokyo, Japan

Right in the heart of Tokyo, this sky-high sanctuary brings Aman’s signature tranquillity to one of the world’s busiest cities. Located in the Otemachi Tower, Aman Tokyo blends Japanese tradition with modern elegance.

You’ll find shoji screens, camphor wood, and washi paper details throughout. The 30-metre swimming pool overlooks the Tokyo skyline. Rooms are some of the largest in the city.

Luxury holidays to Aman Resorts don’t have to mean remote beach settings. Aman Tokyo is proof that serenity can thrive in the city. You can start your morning with matcha and end it in an onsen-style bath overlooking Mount Fuji on a clear day.

There’s an excellent restaurant offering kaiseki cuisine, and the spa spans two full floors — making it one of the most comprehensive urban wellness centres in Japan.

Aman Venice, Italy

Imagine staying in a 16th-century palazzo on the Grand Canal — that’s Aman Venice. This exquisite property has been restored with incredible attention to its heritage: think Tiepolo frescoes, gilded ceilings, and private gardens (a rarity in Venice).

It’s a sanctuary from the crowds, while still offering front-row access to the floating city’s treasures. The rooms feel palatial yet cosy. Staff will arrange a private opera performance, boat ride to Murano, or a secret supper in the gardens.

Interested in Aman Venice?

We often receive privileged rates or added extras for Aman Venice bookings. Let us tailor a Venetian escape that captures the spirit of the city and the essence of Aman.

Amangiri, Utah, USA

Tucked within Utah’s red rock desert, Amangiri is perhaps Aman’s most recognisable resort on Instagram — but it’s even better in person. Built into the landscape, the architecture here echoes the canyons, blending into the earth rather than dominating it.

Suites come with desert views and fire pits; some have private pools. The spa treatments draw from Navajo traditions. You can hike straight from your room into the wilderness or explore via horseback or hot air balloon.

Luxury holidays to Aman Resorts don’t get more cinematic than this.

We know this destination well and can arrange packages with private transfers, excursions, and insider access. Reach out to us for tailored pricing and availability for Amangiri.

Aman Sveti Stefan, Montenegro

This one’s iconic. A fortified islet linked by a narrow causeway to the Montenegrin coast, Aman Sveti Stefan is visually breathtaking. It’s a 15th-century fishing village transformed into an ultra-private retreat — complete with cobbled lanes and centuries-old stone cottages.

Guests can stay either in the island village or the Villa Miločer on the mainland. Expect a hidden beach, Adriatic views, and spa treatments in pomegranate-scented courtyards.
