Amanjiwo, Indonesia
A hidden jewel at Java’s centre Amanjiwo rests in the shadows of the largest Buddhist temple complex in the world, Borobudur, which reopens to visitors from 1 March 2023.
From its canal-side perch in San Polo, Aman Venice is a window into the city’s historic glories and modern-day cultural highs. Priceless art and iconic landmarks reveal themselves at every turn – most just a stroll or short gondola ride away, but for the most unique and memorable encounters, turn to Aman’s experts for insider access to the secrets of the city – from bespoke, chef-led tours of the Rialto market to private boxes for the opera at Le Fenice.
Venice of the artisans
Discover the incredible work of the Bevilacqua and Orsoni ateliers. During a private tour of the Bevilacqua workshop, guests will have the unique opportunity to see the weavers at work, and at the Orsoni atelier, will watch the production of 24k gold leaf mosaics. This tour is available Monday to Friday.
A box at the opera
The house of Verdi and Rossini, of Prokofiev and Britten, the Teatro La Fenice has been a preeminent international opera venue since its foundation in 1792. Aman Venice guests have access to a private box, allowing a privileged view of the iconic stage. The experience includes boat transfers, aperitivi and, afterwards, dinner at Aman Venice.
Lagoon aperitivo
In the late afternoon, head west down the Grand Canal and wind through the smaller canals out to the Giudecca and into the lagoon. Take your aperitivo with a selection of delicious Venetian cichetti and enjoy the views of fishermen hauling in their nets as the sun begins to set behind distant islands.
Private Tours
Curated and led by the foremost experts in their fields, whether art historians, architects, chefs or engineers, Aman Venice’s privately guided excursions allow you to fully appreciate and absorb the magic of this remarkable ‘floating city’, without the crowds.
