Any news about amankila? Was there last June, when a few projects were underway. IIRC, a new fitness pavilion and possibly a proper Spa.
Will be going back in March. Wondering what might be new or different.

I just booked a stay at Amanemu on it's opening... Will report back.
In the mean time, I wonder if anyone has contact info about Amanemu's GM or management. I would like to get in touch with them before I visit.

The GM is Hisayo who is a lady Mr Zecha met on a first class flight when she was still working for ANA. Her email is [email protected]
I plan to visit Amanemu this year so I'm really looking for your report. Have a great time in Japan.

Still waiting for that spa . At least " some architects have been showing up " .
It should be a new menu by then but as you know , requesting off menu is done & the team takes it in their stride
This is beyond their control , but the bottles of water in room are now in smaller plastic bottles as the manufacturer does not do glass any more .

I arrived at Amankila as an 'Aman Sceptic' yet by the time I left, I was a true convert

That's a real shame. I really liked him and was talking to him only a few weeks ago at the London Aman event. In retrospect, I now realise I was boring him by going on and on about how much we love Amanpulo.

Now am debating when to return to Pulo , perhaps skip this year if I don't make it within the month, as Tapa won't be there .
Glad you made it to the event ^ . Was hoping more Amanjunkies reading this here would have gone too as it was one of the largest so far .
