Pimalai Resort & Spa, Koh Lanta

Preface Dear travel epicureans, For its ninth edition, we are pleased to present you a completely redesigned and updated hotel directory, with a major innovation: new hotels not only located on an island. To welcome these new properties and to recognize their high level of service, this directory has also changed its title to Exclusive Collection. Each year, we refine and enrich our collection of exclusive properties, to offer you an even more exclusive choice of unique hotels and resorts throughout the world, with now a selection of near 120 properties. Of course, our time-honored partners, the Exclusive Island Hotels & Resorts remain the heart of this coffee table book, even if we now also feature exclusive city hotels, captivating desert resorts or stunning wilderness lodges. For the first time in 2014, we are pleased to present properties in countries as various and fascinating as Botswana, Mozambique, Namibia, Mexico, Bhutan, Cambodia, Laos, China, India, Malaysia, Antigua, Trinidad & Tobago, Tunisia, Turkey or the United Arab Emirates. For destinations already featured, our offer has also expanded to include a new high-end property located on an unspoilt atoll in the Maldives or an overwater jewel set in a turquoise Polynesian lagoon; all designed to make your every visit a unique experience. Last news about the directory: we have decided to introduce five of our closest local travel partners, specialized in custommade luxury travel and leaders in their area, including Southern and Eastern Africa, the Seychelles, the Middle East, the Indian subcontinent and French Polynesia. They assist us with their destination knowledge and expertise to finalize your tailor-made journey. Our multilingual team is at your disposal to give you information or to arrange your travel in detail, so that from the beginning, your journey will remain unique and memorable. I invite you now to glance into the heart of the dream, which I hope will soon become a true experience for you.

Morocco Marrakech

Amanjena

Amanjena, or ‘peaceful paradise’, is the first Amanresort on the African continent. The property is located just outside the ancient Moroccan city of Marrakech on the southern road to Ouarzazate, the gateway to the Sahara Desert. The High Atlas Mountains claim the Marrakech horizon and the Atlantic coast is just two hours away. The 27-hole Amelkis Championship Golf Course lies immediately alongside Amanjena, with a second course – the Royal Golf Course – just minutes away. Known in Arabic as Al Medina al-Hamra, the ‘Red City’, due to its rosy-hued walls and structures, Marrakech was the inspiration for Amanjena’s design. The resort’s walls and Morocco luxury villas echo the city’s old pisé (rammed earth) buildings as well as the Berber villages that cling to the High Atlas Mountains. Green is also a predominant colour in the oasis of Marrakech – the colour of Islam, paradise, royalty and abundance. The colour of nature gilds Amanjena, too: its lawns and vines, its emerald-clay roofs, Moroccan marble fountains and the dazzle of hand-cut, glazed tiles known as zellij.

Amankora Combining the Sanskrit word for ‘peace’ with kora or ‘circular pilgrimage’ in Dzongkha, the Bhutanese language, Amankora is a series of lodges across the central and western valleys of Bhutan. The sole surviving Himalayan Buddhist Kingdom, Bhutan is located between the Tibetan Plateau and India, making it one of the most remote and pristine environments on earth. Descending from 7,000-metre high peaks in the north to the low-lying plains of the south, Bhutan’s rivers have forged deep valleys separated by high mountain passes. Historically isolated, each valley’s scenic beauty and topography affords visitors an opportunity for unique journeys of discovery between them. To best experience all that Bhutan has to offer, Amankora can tailor journeys that include a combination of its lodges located in the valleys of Paro, Thimphu, Punakha, Gangtey and Bumthang.

Cambodia Siem Reap

Amansara Situated in Siem Reap, the cultural capital of Cambodia, just 10 minutes from the entrance to the Angkor UNESCO World Heritage Site, Amansara was once the guest villa of King Norodom Sihanouk. Today the walled garden compound serves as a tranquil 24-suite Angkor Wat luxury resort with the ambience of a gracious home. Amansara is the ideal base for travellers seeking to explore Khmer culture and the majestic ruins of Angkor. A variety of Cambodia temple excursions and cultural walks is available as part of the guest experience. Amansara derives its name from the twinning of the words ‘aman’ (Sanskrit for ‘peace’) and ‘apsara’, the heavenly nymphs of ancient Hindu texts. The apsaras, it is said, emerged from the primordial churning of the oceans with the power not only to change their form at will, but also to bestow luck on those they favoured. So all-embracing was their influence on Cambodian mythology and its numerous expressions, that delicate apsara basreliefs decorate practically every Angkor temple.

Amanbagh

The Lodhi

Deriving its name from aman, meaning ‘peace’ in Sanskrit and bagh, meaning ‘garden’ in Hindi, Amanbagh is a verdant oasis which lies within a walled compound once used by the Maharajah of Alwar to site his mobile hunting camps in search of the elusive tigers known to roam the nearby hills.

The Lodhi ethos is simple and easy luxury. It is also an ethos of ‘contrasts’. From the dynamic and vibrant atmosphere in the restaurants, courtyards and public areas to the seclusion, peace and club- like atmosphere of the seven floors of guest accommodation.

Evoking the palatial elegance of the Moghul era, Amanbagh’s Haveli Suites and Pool Pavilions provide a tranquil base from which to explore the rich heritage of Rajasthan, India’s dramatic frontier region. Amanbagh’s award-winning design features domed cupolas and private courtyards.

The Lodhi offers comfort, warmth, recognition, smiles and personal attention. After ‘growing up’ as an Aman city resort since opening in 2009, The Lodhi is now an independent boutique city property reflecting all that it was as an Amanresorts.

the gangsa private villa by Kayumanis

a harmonious serenade of life the gangsa is another exclusive haven of Kayumanis Private Villas, who pioneered the concept of exclusive, luxury vacation retreats in Bali and in China; and continues to raise the standard by which others are to follow. It is an all villa property located in the revered priestly village of Sanur where guests will discover the harmony of Balinese living. For centuries the Balinese have lived in family compounds throughout the island on parcels of land that are symbolic of their heritage and status within society. Traditional Balinese architecture implies that everything has a proper and proportionate space – a place to eat, a place to sleep and a place to relax. The gangsa has adapted this unique concept to create a series of private villas where the art of living is free from the complications of the outside world. The name ‘gangsa’ refers to the keyed instrument that plays the resonant melodies in a traditional Balinese orchestra. This choice of name is a conscious effort to preserve the island’s vibrant culture through tourism.

Villa Samadhi

The Blue Mansion is a classic 19th Century Chinese courtyard mansion built by a man described as the ‘Rockefeller of the East’. Saved from severe dilapidation in the 1990’s it has won UNESCO’s top award for conservation excellence.

One of Kuala Lumpur’s best kept secret! Hidden within an upscale neighborhood and discreet from street view, Villa Samadhi feels more like one big private villa rather than a boutique hotel.

The Blue Mansion now invites you to experience its recently refurbished grandeur with 18 neo-Chinese luxurious chambers, a landscaped swimming pool encircled by an award-winning designer Chinese garden abutting a concept spa. Enjoy alfresco breakfast in its classic courtyards and take pleasure in Modern Cantonese fine-dining at Cheong Fatt Tze restaurant. There’s also an in-house museum, guided interpretation tours and glorious displays of antiques and artisan to be discovered within The Blue Mansion’s indigo walls.

Sri Lanka Fort Galle

Amangalla Amangalla is a gracious resort on Sri Lanka’s fabled south coast, housed within the colonial-era buildings of the Galle Fort. The oldest operating hotel in Asia, having first opened its doors as the New Oriental Hotel in 1863, it reflects the elegance of the colonial period dating back to the 1600s, when Dutch settlers strolled the town’s cobbled streets. Being welcomed inside Amangalla’s Great Hall, or Zaal, as it was known by the Dutch, is like stepping back in time. Its soaring fin de siècle ceilings, overhead fans and chandeliers, not to mention the veranda facing the tree-lined street, speak of days when travel was a past-time enjoyed only by a fortunate few. The hotel features many of its original furniture pieces including four-poster beds and pettagama chests. It also provides the perfect base for exploring the rich heritage of the town and the scenic countryside and picturesque villages around Galle, as well as the wildlife reserves and beaches of southwest Sri Lanka.

Greece Agios Panteleimonas, Argolida

Amanzo’e Comprising a 38-suite resort, an Aman Spa and a number of Aman Villas, Amanzoe is the Greek complement to Montenegro’s Aman Sveti Stefan and Turkey’s Amanruya.

The resort offers panoramic views of the Peloponnese countryside and coastline, a private Beach Club in a picturesque bay and easy access to the cosmopolitan islands of Spetses and Hydra.

In the shadow of two volcanoes and surrounded by lemon trees and jasmine, this hotel is truly unique. Guests may enjoy panoramic view of Panarea and Stromboli eruptions.

It’s a pleasure to relax during the day around the swimming pool or on the panoramic solarium terrace, which will be transformed by the warm colours of the sunset in a magical place where you can taste a good aperitif. The Signum is an ideal place to discover the pleasures and the scents of the Sicilian and Aeolian cuisine. Martina Caruso prepares traditional dishes using the best and freshest quality ingredients.

There are few places in the world which offer classical history and natural beauty in equal measure. The Aegean region of Turkey is one such place.

Everywhere are reminders of this glorious past, vying for attention with spectacular natural scenery including ancient pine forests and scalloped bays. One such bay on the Bodrum Peninsula is home to Amanruya, a tranquil all-season resort. Named after the Sanskrit word for peace, ‘aman’, and the Turkish word for dream, Amanruya is set on a peaceful hillside, offering breathtaking views of the sea and a winding pathway leading to a sheltered pebble beach.
