Aman Wellness Journey – September 18 - October 3, 2017

With wellness travel on the rise in recent years, in particularly in conjunction with adventure, this brand-new handcrafted itinerary was designed by Remote Lands and Aman to meet this growing trend. The 16-day itinerary will include stops in Bali and Java in Indonesia, followed by the Philippines and Vietnam, staying at five Aman properties including Amandari and Amankila in Bali, Amanjiwo in Borobudur, Amanpulo in Pamalican Island and Armanoi in Nha Trang, Vietnam.

The trip will be led by renowned wellness specialist Yamuna Zake, the woman behind the globally recognized Yamuna® Body Rolling Method, who will provide intensive daily body rolling sessions at each Aman property along with inflight sessions during transit to work the joints and muscles.  Guests will also be treated to health-conscious meals and cultural excursions. Among the itinerary highlights include learning how to cook traditional Indonesian and Filipino dishes from local experts; island-hopping over turquoise waters in the Philippines by private jet; taking a private snorkeling excursion to discover Indonesia’s abundant sea life; and catching unforgettable sunrises over Java’s spiritual Borobudur monument. For the wellness sessions, guests will be provided with their own Yamuna kit of essential apparatus, which includes different sized balls for body rolling, and will learn the keystones of Yamuna’s method – breathing, footwork, yoga and Pilates-based movements. The journey is priced at $54,984 per person based on double occupancy, and $9,378 single supplement.

Aman Private Jet Expedition – October 8 - 24, 2017

Aman’s 2017 annual private jet journey will take travelers on an unforgettable adventure across Asia covering cities, mountains, jungles and beaches. The 16-day itinerary will include stops in China, Bhutan, India and Sri Lanka, staying at eight luxury Aman properties in Shanghai, Lijiang, Thimphu, Paro, Alwar, Ranthambhore, Galle and Tangalle. The most notable of these properties is the Aman Shanghai, which is opening in September of this year and is the reason Shanghai has been added to the itinerary for the first time. The property is nestled within an idyllic historical village and represents a valuable act of cultural preservation as well as an opportunity for guests to experience a piece of China’s deep rural history in close proximity to the country’s most cosmopolitan city.

The itinerary offers privileged experiences for guests including a riveting tour of Shanghai’s architecture and history with a leading expert; hiking up to the mystical Tiger’s Nest monastery in Bhutan; yoga in the ancient city ruins of Bhangarh in Alwar, India; tiger-spotting on a Royal Bengal Tiger safari in Ranthambore National Park; exploring the historic Galle fort built in 1588 by the Portuguese and overflowing with charming old colonial architecture; and a beach barbecue with fire dancing in Tangalle, Sri Lanka.
