How to get the best value at Aman Resorts in 2023

Aman Hotels are renowned for its commitment to privacy, luxury, and cultural heritage.

Each property is designed to reflect the culture of its destination and offer guests an immersive experience in a tranquil environment without compromising on quality or service. From private villas set amidst unspoiled beaches to breathtaking cliff-top retreats with breathtaking views over a lake – each Aman property offers something unique and is sure to provide a memorable vacation.

Aman has around 35 hotels and resorts in the most stunning locations around the world. For example, out of these 35 properties, 15 are near UNESCO World Heritage sites. Most have under 60 guestrooms and suites.

How do I get add-on benefits when booking Aman?

Most Aman properties are part of the Virtuoso travel network which offers exclusive benefits and offers.

Clements Travel is a proud Virtuoso partner which means we can add benefits to our next Aman booking at no extra cost to the price.  Benefits could include:

  • Preferred rates and availability
  • Room upgrades (if available)
  • Daily Breakfast daily for two
  • Dining, resort, or hotel credits
  • Early check-in and late checkout (if available)

Let’s put this into context and use a working example:

For this exercise, let’s take the Amangiri, which is an Aman property that we book a lot. We will compare the difference between booking on the Aman website vs Clements Travel (a Virtuoso agent):

Hotel: Amangiri 

  Aman Website Clements Travel Using Virtuoso Benefits
Hotel Cost Varies by date and room type Exactly the same price as the Aman website
Breakfast Included Yes Yes
How To Book Online or by phone Email or by phone
How To Pay Pay hotel directly Pay hotel directly
Virtuoso Benefits None

  • Daily continental breakfast for two guests per bedroom, served in the restaurant
  • USD100 equivalent Resort or Hotel credit to be utilized during your stay

What does the term ‘Aman Junkie’ mean?

Everyone who has ever stayed an Aman is an ‘Aman Junkie’. This is not an official loyalty program per se but a fun term that Aman fans use to describe themselves. This is centered around that once you stay at one Aman, you become hooked and only ever stay at Aman hotels & resorts going forward.

Once upon a time some of the resorts were gifting unofficial Aman Junkie t-shirts. We hope they bring these back one day as they do make a great souvenir.

What we love about Aman Hotel & Resorts:

As Aman Junkies ourselves, here is a list of the main features that draw us back to Aman time and time again:

Service– sure Aman properties are stunning, and the food is good but what makes Aman is the service. No request is too big or too small.

Location – the location is what makes Aman. Many properties are located on stunning white sand beaches, in national parks, and next to UNESCO World Heritage sites.

Food and Beverage offerings – international and local dishes can be found on the Aman menu. Creative, yet authentic food featuring fresh and high-quality ingredients.

Swimming Pools – Aman pools have a wow factor – large, stunning views and comfortable loungers.

House Keeping – Aman is famous for its housekeeper, there are at least two housekeeping services per day. After a day next to the swimming pool it’s nice to come back to an organized and clean room.

Aman Spa – due to Aman’s dedication to wellness the pinnacle of any Aman stay is one of their spa experiences. Whether the hot springs of Japan or a lunar ritual in the Dominican Republic, Aman Wellness is a journey of reawakening.

Local Experiences – Aman has the best local experiences that give you a true taste of the local culture. From visiting temples in Cambodia to going on safari for tigers in India there is something for everyone.

Janu Hotels from Aman

In 2023, Aman Group will launch their sister brand of hotels called ‘Janu’.  The first hotel will be opened in Tokyo the same year.  Following this there will be another two opening in Saudi Arabia named AlUla and Diriyah.

The full details about the new Janu brand are not known yet however the description on their website reads as: ”Born from Aman’s core philosophies and total focus on the guest, Janu delivers soulful balance from head to heart. No compromise, only connection.”
