Preface

Dear travellers, Since the beginning of our label, thirteen years ago, we have elaborated a quality charter from the philosophy set up and naturally animated by each of our partner hotels. This common spirit is based on four points, namely: ‘Art de vivre’, Excellence, Exclusiveness and Privacy.

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 almost 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 2018, we are pleased to present properties in Canada and in Ras-Al-Khaimah in the United Arab Emirates.

For destinations already featured, our offer has also expanded to include new high-end properties in the Maldives, Thailand, Taiwan R.O.C., China, Mozambique, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates; all designed to make your every visit a unique experience.

We also feature our closest local travel partners, specialized in custom-made luxury travel and leaders in their area, including Southern and Eastern Africa, the Seychelles, the Middle East, South-East Asia, Mauritius 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 and to discover the world with Exclusive Collection.

Morocco Marrakech

Amanjena

Amanjena, or ‘peaceful paradise’, is the first Aman 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. A 27-hole Championship Golf Course lies immediately alongside Amanjena, with two other courses, the Royal Golf Course and the Al Maaden 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 Moroccan 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.

Only 16 airy Private Pool Villas and the Banyan Hill Estate are situated along the north-eastern coast of the island overlooking two of the seven sandy beaches and each is carefully positioned to guarantee maximum privacy.

Designed to coexist within a fragile ecosystem the island shelters some of the world’s most endangered species.

A spectacular cliff top health Spa overlooks the ocean in harmony with the surrounding jungle. The Rock Spa creates all of its own face and body products from the flora and fauna grown on the island, creating a truly indigenous spa experience for the Seychelles.

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.

Amandayan Amandayan is set on just over a hectare above the winding lanes of Lijiang Old Town – described by UNESCO as “an urban landscape of outstanding quality”.

Designed in the traditional architectural style of the Nakhi – the indigenous people of northwestern Yunnan and the ethnic group responsible for Lijiang’s historic prominence – Amandayan is housed in a series of dwellings arranged around peaceful courtyards.

The 34 elegantly-appointed Suites offer views of Lijiang Old Town or, on the other side of Lion Hill, Lijiang new Town and beyond to majestic mountains on the horizon.

Sri Lanka 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 continuously 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.

St. Vincent & The Grenadines Canouan Island

The Pink Sands Club The Caribbean is blessed with beautiful beaches, stunning seascapes and a relaxed way of life. Yet some islands still stand out from the rest. Perhaps because their sand is just that little bit whiter, their water is just that little bit bluer and their clocks are just that little bit slower. Canouan is such a place. An island only recently introduced to the 21st century, but now setting the standards for tropical beach hotels around the world…

Located on a beach-fringed private estate in the middle of the Caribbean Sea, The Pink Sands Club is both unashamedly romantic and wickedly glamorous. Yet whilst it might take its heady inspiration from the past, it also boasts world-class leisure facilities, five-star dining and state-of-the-art technology.

And most important of all, every bed boasts a breathtaking view of a beautiful blue ocean …

Turkey Bodrum

Amanruya

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.

This fabled coastline is where Homer’s heroes were born, where the ancient Greeks consulted their oracles and the Romans built magnificent temples to honour their gods. 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.
