Aman is synonymous with high end luxury in the hospitality industry and goes above and beyond to ensure their guests have complete privacy as well as unique experiences. Undoubtedly one of the leaders of unique experiences and luxury resorts, since 1988, Aman has been creative with their offerings to guests and in each of their locations they ensure privacy, intimacy with the location and supply luxurious suites to rest in after a day of adventure. In Southeast Asia, Aman has created a bespoke tour encompassing four fascinating places and offering a chance to explore the UNESCO city of Luang Prabang, Cambodia’s Angkor Wat, coastal Vietnam and Núi Chúa National Park as well as their Flagship property Amanpuri 22 ILHA on the beautiful island of Phuket. The six night itinerary, only available until March 2019, ensures that guests experience the best that the region has to offer. At Amansara in Cambodia personal guides take guests through the ancient ruins of Angkor Wat, with the resort itself being a minutes from the Khmer Kingdom. At Amanoi, the brand’s holistic outpost situated in the Ninh Thuan province of Vietnam, a variety of national park treks are on offer, and the flagship Amanpuri has an impressive fleet of boats available for guests and villa residents to explore the impressive nearby Similan islands. Their star vessel is the Maha Bhetra, a 90ft wooden Thai motor yacht that can accommodate up to 6 people overnight. While every aspect of the Aman experience seems effortless, behind the scenes is an expert team dedicated to providing unparalleled luxury experiences for customers who expect nothing but the best. The latest member of the Aman team is Roland Fasel, previous General Manager of The Dorchester and UK regional director for the Dorchester Collection. Fasel joined Aman back in February 2017 as Chief Operating Officer and looks forward to the challenge of guiding the brand through an ambitious expansion of eleven new properties - starting with the new Amanyangyun just outside of Shanghai. Fasel talks to Luxury Hoteliers Magazine and sheds some insight in how Aman creates unparalleled personalised experiences for its guests.
