Around the World in Three Continents

Beginning in Japan, the 21-night journey unfolds with sake tastings and geisha-led experiences in Kyoto, before continuing to the pristine beaches of Palawan in the Philippines and on to Indonesia, home to the UNESCO-listed temples of Borobudur and tranquil rural heartlands. The journey then drifts onwards to the Maldives’ sun-soaked shores, where island life invites yacht excursions and dolphin-spotting adventures. The journey then moves to Tanzania, before travelling onwards to the palazzo-lined canals of Venice and the spice-scented souks of Marrakech.

Destination 1: Japan

The Living Pavilion at Aman Kyoto, a modern dark structure beneath tall trees with illuminated interior and manicured lawn.

Aman Kyoto, Japan

Secret tree-filled gardens and pavilions in tranquil glades set the scene at sanctuary-like Aman Kyoto – a secluded onsen retreat, whose only near neighbour is the Kinkaku-ji golden temple. Omakase cuisine is served by Chef Shinichirō Takagi in Taka-An, while The Living Pavilion covers authentic Kyoto dishes, served on the hotel’s forest-bathed terrace. Minimalist ryokan-style rooms are a retreat from the world, while mineral-fed onsen baths in the Aman Spa guide guests through Japan’s prided bathing ritual. Day-long cultural tours, a traditional sake tasting, a geisha-led encounter and a teppanyaki dinner are all included beyond the resort’s tranquil grounds.

Destination 2: Philippines

Amanpulo, Palawan, Philippines

Sun loungers beneath palm trees on Amanpulo's white sand beach, with clear blue sea beyond.

A sandy cushion of the Cuyo Archipelago casts itself as the idyllic backdrop to Amanpulo. Set on pristine Pamalican Island, amid powder-fine beaches and knitted coral reefs, Aman’s only Philippines outpost represents a true tropical paradise. Coastal Casitas and private Villas are all steps away from the shore and a host of marine adventures tempts scuba divers, surfers and sailors into bath-warm waters of up to 30°C (86°F). A fleet of boats stands by for activities and excursions, from snorkelling and sandbar picnics to sunset sails and star-lit cruises. Cocktails, dinner and a complimentary spa treatment come as part of the stay at Amanpulo.

Destination 3: Indonesia

Amanpulo's main pool surrounded by sun loungers and umbrellas, with verdant hills beyond.

After days of relaxation, the journey continues onwards to the cultural highlights of Central Java and Amanjiwo, overlooking UNESCO-guarded Borobudur. From this privileged perch, there’s chance to explore the world’s largest Buddhist temple complex entirely free from crowds, with bespoke backstage excursions. A morning trek through rice paddies to the 8th-century Hindu temple of Selogriyo is also included. Back at Amanjiwo, the resort centres around a lofty hilltop rotunda, where resort-grown Javanese meals are served. Steps slope down to a pool where indolent afternoons can be spent, cooling off against a bottle-green backdrop of tropical flora.

Destination 4: Maldives

Kitesurfer in the shallow turquoise lagoon at Amanpulo, Philippines.

Maldives

A stylish seaplane ride over a necklace of coral-ringed islands covers the journey into the Maldives. For the next three nights, home is an over-water villa with a private pool and a spoiling sun deck on Muravandhoo Island, encircled by the Indian Ocean and its abundant marine life. On the final day, a yacht excursion and dolphin-spotting adventure explores the nearby reaches of Raa Atoll with lunch included in an idyllic location. Two Asian-accented restaurants and a bar with a menu by a Michelin-starred chef are on hand for other meals.

Destination 5: East Africa

Tanzania, East Africa

Located in East Africa, Tanzania is a vast and varied country that stretches from the snow-capped peak of Mount Kilimanjaro to the sweeping plains of the Serengeti and the volcanic amphitheater of Ngorongoro. Renowned for its legendary wildlife spectacles, Tanzania offers unparalleled safari experiences - track the Big Five, explore remote private concessions, or take a dawn hot-air-balloon ride over endless golden savanna.

The 2027 itinerary will remain as planned, with the journey unfolding from Dubai in place of Tanzania.

Destination 6: Italy

Aman Venice, Italy

A wooden boat glides through Venice's waterways with a passenger in white, historic buildings and church spires visible along the canal at Amanpulo.

Aman’s modern-day Grand Tour takes on a refined tone at 16th-century Aman Venice, housed in one of only eight monumental palazzi to grace the city’s history-steeped Grand Canal. Watch as gondoliers glide by from the campari-serving terraces of this stylish Serenissima stay, accented inside with Rococo artworks, murano-glass chandeliers and original Tiepolo frescoes. Two full days of exploring are included, along with cocktails and dinner on one night to showcase Italy’s rich culinary heritage.

Destination 7: Morocco

Amanpulo's main pavilion with terracotta columns, palm trees and reflecting pool at dusk.

Amanjena, Marrakech, Morocco

The rose-hued walls of the Red City mark a romantic end point to this airborne odyssey. As a fitting finale, the stay amid palatial Amanjena’s petal-filled fountains and peaceful courtyards includes dinner and cocktails on the first night with a local history expert, who’ll elucidate the hidden stories of Morocco’s most beguiling city. Rise next morning for a hot-air balloon ride in the Atlas foothills before a full day’s immersion into Marrakech’s maze of spice-stacked souks, art-filled gardens and minaret-topped mosques. A farewell dinner and drinks ends Aman’s private-jet expedition in style.
