array of individual and group retreats. Three
properties in particular—Amanpuri in
Thailand, Amanbagh in India and Amanoi in
Vietnam—offer three- to 14-night individually
tailored immersions that integrate traditional
therapies with the renowned experience of
staying at an Aman property.
At Amangalla, a historic Sri Lankan resort
set within the 400-year-old Galle Fort at the
southwestern tip of the island, The Baths spa
focuses on the therapeutic balance between
food and water. Their Ayurvedic doctor
personally tailors a nutrition plan to reset
your doshas, while the spa’s transcendent
hydrotherapy chambers artfully combine
a sauna, steam room and plunge pool in
a peaceful setting. The serene scene is
complemented by the yoga pavilion and
garden-framed swimming pool, creating a
true oasis.
Amanjena, a fabled rose-hued resort just
outside of Marrakesh, meanwhile, offers
a three-day small-group Moorish retreat
that focuses on movement and alignment.
Working with in-house and visiting experts
in the hotel’s opulent hammam, guests seek
to achieve fluidity and mindfulness while
indulging in traditional Moorish therapies
such as Argan oil head massages and full-body
masks that utilize natural clay sourced from
the nearby Atlas Mountains.
