With extensive space and discreet, dedicated personal service, Aman’s private Villas offer travellers opportunities to savour precious time with family and friends, or simply to escape into romantic seclusion in the world’s most beautiful settings. All the facilities of an Aman resort, with the comfort and reassurance of a private home.

AMAN VENICE, ITALY

A palazzo to call home

Take over one of the most coveted addresses on the Grand Canal – the 16th-century Palazzo Papadopoli. Now the home of Aman Venice, the distinguished waterfront property is available for exclusive use – ideal for small groups or families looking for their own private corner of La Serenissima in which to celebrate in opulence and comfort. Stay three nights or more, and enjoy privileged access to the hotel’s historic suites, secluded canalised gardens, restaurant and Aman spa.

From Aman Venice, guests have all the treasures of the lagoon at their disposal. The palazzo team can arrange exclusive cultural visits and excursions, ranging from guided gallery visits and personalised boat trips along the canals to boxes at the opera and market tours with the chef.

AMANZOE, GREECE

The definitive Villa experience

Bringing together the colonnaded grandeur of Classical Greek architecture with the restrained elegance of the modern day, Amanzoe and its family of one- to nine-bedroom Villas offer sea-view sanctuaries among the olive groves. All are spacious, secluded and extraordinary in their own way, but Ed Tuttle’s Acropolis-Inspired nine-bedroom Villa 20 is the architect’s masterpiece. Designed to harmonise with the landscape, the Villa cascades down the hillside in six tiers of sculpture-dotted gardens, private pools and alfresco dining areas – with space for up to 18 guests. A private parcel of the Peloponnese, it’s an entire Aman resort unto itself.

Amanzoe’s attention to detail extends to every member of the family. Children are kept enthralled with junior yoga sessions and sensitively planned menus (care of the Villa’s personal chef), and trained staff offer age-tailored activities ranging from tennis lessons to Watsu therapy. Cruising the Aegean to explore the artistic and cultural island hubs of Spetses and Hydra and exploring ancient ruins nearby make edifying outings for family groups.

AMANYARA, TURKS & CAICOS

Amanyara Amanyara, Turks & Caicos - Pool Cabana

Sea-view seclusion and family adventure

On this most dramatic of island coastlines, the 20 three- to six-bedroom Villas of Amanyara are spread along the beachfront, looking out at the vivid turquoise waters of North West Point Marine National Park, or the lush greenery of the gardens and forest. This is a resort inspired by water – both the ever-visible Atlantic, and the reflecting ponds and black infinity pools that define the Villas’ extensive grounds.

Solo or group, adult couple or multi-generational family, travellers of every stripe find eye-opening experiences at Amanyara. Master new sports – from kitesurfing to deep-sea fishing – with the help of specially trained instructors, or while away the days self-soothing in the spa or on the sand, while children are enriched and entertained with a packed daily programme of age-targeted activities at the Nature Discovery Centre.

AMANPURI, Thailand

An idyllic sanctuary on a private peninsula

 

Laying claim to a palm-studded peninsula and Phuket’s most beautiful arc of white-sand beach, Amanpuri is a rare tableau of days-gone-by Thailand. Designed to evoke the elegant architectural style of an ancient Siamese kingdom and finely tuned to sit in harmony with its natural tropical setting, Aman’s original resort promises all the space, peace and discretion of a private island. Set apart from the body of the resort in their own lushly tropical enclave, Amanpuri’s Villas comprise clusters of individual bedroom pavilions, arranged around private pools.

 

First conceived as a gathering place to host friends, Amanpuri is also ideally suited to families, with extensive facilities and inspiring activities for every age from toddler to teenager. From enriching immersions in local culture to extreme water sports including flyboarding and Schiller water biking, memorable experiences abound. And, thanks to the Eco Beach Centre, younger guests can take advantage of dedicated facilities for skateboarding, bouldering, filmmaking and more.

AMANPULO, THE PHILIPPINES

Private-island paradise in the Philippines

Encircled by a ring of soft talc-white sand and the thriving coral reefs of the Sulu Sea, Pamalican Island is a castaway paradise, a world apart from the anxieties of everyday life. Amanpulo is its sole settlement, so exclusive-use guests can experience the blissful isolation of a true desert-island retreat. Set along the shoreline, steps from the beach, 16 Villas of up to four bedrooms each offer private swimming pools and the dedicated service of a private chef, butler, and an electric buggy to explore the island – from the hilltop spa to secret jungle picnic spots.

 

Discover Villas at Amanpulo

The remote island setting provides ample opportunities for adventure and exploration. The Sulu Sea is rich with a rainbow of aquatic life – including hawksbill turtles which visit every year to nest – and scuba diving or snorkelling open up a world of multicoloured wonder beneath the waves. Above, try kayaking and kite-surfing in the lagoon, or stay on shore to play tennis, cycle the island interior, or soak up the sunshine. At night, the resort’s refracting telescope reveals a mesmerising sprawl of stars.

AMANOI, VIETNAM

A place of peace surrounded by nature

Secluded between the pristine jungle of Núi Chúa National Park and the crystal waters of Vinh Hy Bay, Amanoi’s Residences stand at the threshold of two worlds: the serene emerald wilderness of the hills and the deep blue mystery of the bay. With up to five bedrooms, each is arranged around a large infinity pool with an extensive sea-view wooden deck, offering families and groups of friends unparalleled spaciousness and privacy in a genuinely spellbinding natural setting.

Villa guests have all the opportunities of land and sea at their disposal, from coastal treks and bike rides to snorkelling expeditions and watersports such as kayaking, sailing and SUP. Amanoi maintains a busy daily programme of children’s activities, too, so younger guests can expect to spend their days learning to fish or cook, throwing themselves into crafts or games, or settling down for a popcorn-accompanied movie night.

AMANDARI, BALI

Traditional village-style sanctuaries in Ubud's heartland

 

Of all the resort's village-style paras-stone dwellings, the three-bedroom Amandari Villa is the most extraordinary and the most secluded. Accessed via its own entrance, a minute’s drive from the rest of the resort, the Villa comprises a quintet of freestanding pavilions, set around a two-tiered swimming pool and surrounded by landscaped gardens that give way to cascading rice terraces. Served by two full-time staff and a private vehicle, and overlooking the natural splendour of the Ayung River Valley, the Villa presides over the surrounding landscape – a thatch-roofed jungle palace in the green heart of Bali.

 

From Amandari, the celebrated art galleries and other cultural riches of Ubud are readily accessible, but for those wishing to spend time apart from civilisation, the local landscape invites intimacy with nature. With or without an expert Aman guide, trek the ridge beside the river, and enjoy banyan-framed views across the gorge; take a mountain bike on a forest trail and discover the local villages, or hike up to Amandari’s hillside bale for a private picnic with an unforgettable panorama.
