quotes from the media

"We loved the way that the resort reflected the local spirit and culture so stylishly – like it was part of the landscape. We were also blown away by the impeccable, pre-emptive service, which the Aman group are so well known for."

“Many resorts claim to reside in harmony with the local culture, but very few can say that every six months, nearby villagers take a path through the grounds to reach a pool of holy water. A few days at this stunning property and you’ll think it’s sublime, too.”

"It is a supremely quiet place. At night the sounds of the jungle will soothe you to sleep"

“Everything in the resort is handmade, with some really sweet touches, such as the carved wooden frog left on our pillows with a note apologizing for the noise the live ones make at night! I never want to leave….”

“To fully understand the culture, one must immerse his or herself by participating in pastimes and attractions most hotels offer. The chic, 30-suites Amandari was able to arrange a traditional blessing ceremony with a local priest for me. This ceremony is generally offered during an important day (birthday or wedding), a Karma cleansing, if you will, and was performed just outside Amandari’s main entrance.”

“There is no arrival like an Aman arrival, and the start of the Amandari experience is no exception to this rule. We arrived by way of the property’s own expertly-driven SUV, complete with on board beverages and snacks. Pulling down the stone paved road, our vehicle was met by every available member of the staff. A pair of local children gave us an official welcome with flowers tossed into the air, and a representative from reception wasted no time escorting us to our suite for registration.”
