Sundowner: Autumn/Winter 2018

AMANYARA
Providenciales, Turks and Caicos
Villas: from three to six bedrooms
AMANZOE
Porto Heli, Greece
Villas: up to nine bedrooms
Embracing untrammelled Caribbean elements, Amanyara villas
promise coastal seclusion and a laid-back island lifestyle in
consummate luxury and privacy. Sharing distinctive Jean Michel Gathy
design features, each home is unique, with water ever-present. Here
you will discover natural wonders and enjoy unique retreats, journeys,
and adventures either on the world-class barrier reef, by joining in with
sea turtle tagging, or with seasonal sightings of migratory whale. From
nature walks to energetic beach sports, Amanyara’s offerings extend to
the whole family.
Amanyara sits on the secluded western shore of Providenciales in the
Turks and Caicos Islands. These are located at the southern tip of the
Bahamas chain and offer a tranquil retreat.
Amanzoe villas channel the timeless elegance of ancient Greece,
and are designed with high ceilings, graceful colonnades, and formal
gardens. Freestanding bedroom pavilions are arranged around an
emerald-green swimming pool, while sundecks add to the sense of
space and seclusion. Adventures for both children and adults are
plentiful, ranging from visits to UNESCO World Heritage Sites and the
local beekeeper, to wine tasting at a nearby vineyard, as well as junior
yoga sessions, tennis lessons, and Watsu therapy, under the supervision
of specially trained staff.
With crystalline coasts and sun-bleached ruins, Greece’s attraction is
irresistible. Amanzoe, on the Peloponnese peninsula, is surrounded by
undulating olive groves and does not disappoint.
AMANPURI
Phuket, Thailand
Villas: up to nine bedrooms
AMANOI
Vinh Hy Bay, Vietnam
Residences: from two to five bedrooms
Set on the coastline above Pansea Beach, Amanpuri villas reside on a
private peninsula overlooking the Andaman Sea. They are individual
and elegant, surrounded by supreme natural beauty. Each has a unique
layout and decor, with sea views or garden settings. And with the Aman
resort at hand, you can quickly be dining in style, relaxing in the library,
or getting fit in the well-equipped gym. With swimming pools and azure
Andaman waters, the Aman lifestyle is well represented.
For many, Thailand epitomises the ultimate year-round holiday
destination. A land of beautiful white beaches, turquoise seas, delicious
food, and sunny skies.
Inspired by the graceful architecture of traditional Vietnamese dwellings,
Amanoi residences comprise a series of elegant pavilions. Perched
along a coastal ridge, all have views of the sea or the Nui Chua National
Park. The spa here is one of the best in the world (according to Harper’s
Bazaar Travel Guide 2018), and in this meditative retreat, you are sure to
find inner peace.
Famed for its cuisine, art and rich history, Vietnam is gaining
recognition for its natural beauty. Amanoi sits near Nui Chua National
Park, which protects an area of pristine coastal and marine habitats to
the north-east of Ho Chi Minh City.
