Seasonal celebrations across the Aman globe: 

Americas & The Caribbean, Europe & North Africa, Southeast Asia, 
Indonesia, Japan, Bhutan, Sri Lanka & India

 

 

Dawn's arrival, with its golden and apricot hues, carries the promise of renewal - the rising sun symbolising new beginnings as the world awakens from its quiet slumber. Across the Aman globe, each new day presents the opportunity to leave behind the old and celebrate the season wholeheartedly, under the sun’s warm rays.  

Embracing the festive spirit, experiences begin at sunrise, encouraging a moment of reflection before the day ahead. Gentle meditations and yoga classes take place at first light, followed by nourishing breakfasts, snorkelling above coral reefs and hiking across breathtaking terrain, all guided by the sun as it carves its path across the sky.
