AMAN in GREECE
Originally, Amanmila - Greek Island Aman designed by John Heah and partially invested by his family - had development problems & ecoloogical problems given previous usage by mining & military. Project was taken over by Soneva.
Heah found a much better site on the island of Kea and 30% or so of the development money was found, also invested by Heah's family. Dolphin Capital are also behind this (Amanzo'e). Dolphin are currently concentrating on the Dominica project, but Amankea is still set to go ahead, but probably not until Dominica is well underway. Also, Greek economy impacted on sale of villas at Kea, which were going to help fund the project.
AMAN VENICE
There are two large gardens here (one on the edge of Grand Canal), so not as small as suggested. Livio Ranza is Hotel Manager under Olivia Richli.
