THE EXTRAORDINARY

Amanpuri offers personalised immersion programmes based on stays of at least 5 nights. The programme will be built following a complete diagnosis of your body and mind on the day of your arrival.

Whatever wellness programme is put in place, the benefits will be felt in both the short and long term.

ETHICS

Aman Group has made the equation "ecofriendly" = "beautiful" a reality. All their resorts have been designed with a rigorous aesthetic, in the architectural style of their host country, while preserving the natural setting in which they are located as much as possible. This is a true feat, bordering on perfection. Another major strength is that the resorts respect the "small is beautiful" philosophy, rarely offering a capacity of more than 40 rooms.
