Aman stands for retreat at the highest level – with plenty of room for silence, architectural clarity, and a deep sense of privacy. The brand embodies a particularly reduced form of luxury that does not manifest in grand gestures, but in restraint, mindfulness, and depth. Each resort is a sanctuary – often secluded, nestled in impressive landscapes, and characterized by warm, almost meditative hospitality. Those seeking deceleration will find a place to pause at Aman.
Why We Love Aman
Aman is luxury in its purest form – understated, deeply thoughtful and uncompromisingly aesthetic. At Take Memories, we consider Aman one of the few hotel brands that truly create space: for silence, for presence, for something essential.
Each property blends seamlessly into its surroundings. The architecture is calm and grounded, never imposing. The hospitality is intuitive, never overbearing. What makes Aman unique is its ability to let you be – undisturbed, unhurried, untouched by noise. This is not about being impressed, but about feeling held.
Who Aman is Right For
Aman is made for travelers who find meaning in quietude. For those who seek privacy, clarity and a refined aesthetic that doesn’t need to prove anything. If you’re looking for luxury that runs deep rather than loud, you’ll feel at home within Aman’s world – whether by the sea, in the desert or high above a city skyline.
It may be less suited for travelers seeking a lively atmosphere, a social setting or a full activity program. Families with small children often find more flexibility elsewhere. Aman is about stillness and focus – and for those who value exactly that, it becomes unforgettable.
Signature Experiences
- Privacy as a principle: Standalone villas and pavilions, often with private pools and uninterrupted views
- Architecture with soul: Timeless design, inspired by local culture, rooted in nature and restraint
- Wellness in its quietest form: Energy work, rituals, healing stillness – always individual, always meaningful
- Place-led immersion: From receiving a monk’s blessing in Cambodia to sailing the Philippine archipelago – never staged, always real
- Silence as a concept: No entertainment, no distractions – just space, air and presence
Our Experience – And What We Recommend
We recommend Aman when luxury is meant to resonate, not impress. When someone is not simply traveling, but ready to arrive – within. These three stand out for us:
- Amanpulo – a secluded private island in the Philippines, offering pure stillness, turquoise waters and absolute seclusion
- Amansara – a former royal guest residence in Siem Reap, ideal for a deeply cultural and spiritual encounter with Angkor Wat
- Amanzoe – a modern-day Greek sanctuary overlooking the Aegean, where architecture, light and calm define the rhythm
These aren’t places for a quick stop – they’re chapters in a journey you’ll remember long after returning home.
