PT Villa Ayu, a joint venture company formed specifically to build Amandari, aimed to ... serve "those multitudes of travellers interested to witness and experience the extraordinary cultural life of the people of Bali".
for the last 1500 years, there has been a great procession leading along a narrow road right through what is now the hotel site. The architect was not allowed to build over this path, and the roofs were cut through to provide a clear opening to the heavens.
hotel village, with wall-lined 'streets' … to 'melt into' the landscape like another village ... While the complex does not quite 'melt' into the landscape, it maintains the scale and configuration of a small village.

Even fresh off our stays at the Conrad Maldives and Wolgan Valley where the service was great, the Amangalla just put them both to shame. Every single detail and every single interaction we had with the staff was perfect, to the point that it felt like they were reading our minds.

I think that the hardest thing to explain to people is why it's worth spending all this money to stay at Aman... I really didn't get it before I did it...part of the whole process was a bit of a leap of faith.... and, I was expecting to be disappointed... but the trip met and exceeded all my lofty expectations.... There's a certain jeune ne sais quoi about Aman

I read with great interest...and must say that I am in total agreement with your thoughts. I say that because of my own experience working at Regent International Hotels under the leadership of Bob Burns when individual hotels were the responsibility of the GM and success and /or failure rested squarely on his/her shoulders. GMs dealt directly with owners on most issues and the corporate office was there for support and guidance only if needed. Today, this same type of corporate structure seems to be working effectively at Adrian Zecha's Amanresorts. -Bill Black, Former GM, Regent of Bangkok [at that time, black had just recently left FS. note he does not mention FS. he has continued to be involved with trisara since around that time.]
