Celebrate the festive season with Aman

Under one sky

With every break of dawn, the sun’s warm rays spread over the earth, fuelling fresh starts and new opportunities. They replenish our energy, awaken our souls, and illuminate the myriad paths that lay ahead. As dusk falls and gives way to moonlight, we ease into a state of reflection for the day that was.

Amanjena

Dating back to ancient times, we have expressed gratitude for the revitalising power of the sun and moon through various rituals, and we continue to honour them this festive season at Aman. Our calendar pays tribute to solar and lunar traditions from cultures around the world, giving life to a season flourishing with both joyous celebrations and moments of contemplation. From beachside dances on the private island of Amanpulo to welcoming the glory of the first sunrise from Aman Tokyo, this year’s festivities bring excitement for what the future holds while rooting us in the cherished present.

Aman Global Festive

Featured destinations

Amanjena - Festive

Amanjena, Morocco

The sun’s ever-present caress sets Marrakech’s red clay walls aflame. Glowing with the same warmth, Amanjena embraces the city’s Moorish heritage and radiates as a meditative oasis in the desert. Come New Year, its central bassin becomes a sea of stars where floating wish candles are released.

Aman New York - Festive

Aman New York, USA

Manhattan’s art deco Crown Building, shining in its gold-gilded glory, reflects the changing gradient of sky as the sun journeys from east to west. From Aman New York, one can admire the solstice sunsets framed by the surrounding skyscrapers - man-made silhouettes that offer a sliver of nature’s beauty amid the bustle of the city.

Amanjiwo_A2_Portrait

Amanjiwo, Indonesia

Often shrouded in mist at sunrise, the Menoreh Hills surrounding Amanjiwo calm the weary eyes sweeping through them. The first light that shines through their peaks on the first day of the year rouses the soul, with a promise of spiritual awakening through a tour of the awe-inspiring Borobudur.

Amanpulo - Festive

Amanpulo, The Philippines

Amanpulo’s shores glow bright beneath the sun deity Apolaki’s gaze, yet still pulsing with life once his eyes are closed. As the moon goddess Mayari rises in his place, moonlit meditations, stargazing, and midnight dances await on this intimate island, set against the calm of the surrounding sea.

Amanpuri - Festive

Amanpuri, Thailand

Thailand's lantern festivals, held every full moon of the lunar calendar, are about cleansing oneself. On Amanpuri's idyllic shores, one can release paper lanterns toward the moon and sea as a symbol of washing away the past year's worries and welcoming new beginnings.

Amangiri - Festive

Amangiri, USA

A Navajo proverb reminds us to be still and the earth will speak to us. The canyon formations cradling Amangiri bring spectators to silence, as the hues of their rocky surfaces change with the sun’s journey through the sky. Hear nature’s whisper as you dine with all her beauty this festive season.

Aman Tokyo, Japan

Aman Tokyo, Japan

With every daybreak, the beauty of creation arises. Sunlight reveals the most picturesque view from Aman Tokyo, where city lights shimmer like a sea of lanterns and Mount Fuji gleams on the horizon. From this elevated urban sanctuary, one can welcome the warm blessings of Hatsuhinode, the first sunrise of the New Year.

Amanyara, Turks & Caicos - Festive

Amanyara, Turks and Caicos

Cerulean waves wash over Providenciales’ white sands from day to night, ebbing and flowing to their own beat. Ashore at Amanyara, visitors sway to the rhythm and flow of the Junkanoo parades, a time-honored tradition of dance that can rival even the sea’s strongest currents.

Aman Venice - Festive

Aman Venice, Italy

Romance colours the waters of Venice. Sunlight burnishes its surface with a luminous glow that stirs the soul, moonlight bestows it with a mystical sheen. From Aman Venice’s home in the historic Palazzo Papadopoli, one can witness how this floating city blooms even more during the months of December and January.

Amantaka, Laos - Mekang River Cruise, Sunset, Amantaka Boat

Whether travelling to Asia, Europe, North Africa or The Americas, culturally guided experiences will take place under one sky, drawing on the diurnal rhythms of the sun and moon that are shared by all. Guests are invited to appreciate these intimate moments: festive snapshots of the rich cultures that anchor Aman.
