I'm solely speaking of the Rosewood...This isn't a public offer from the hotel that's meant to entice someone to book, this is busy period for them..I had to cash in a favor to get this for a good client of mine which is why I hate for it to go to waste.

After trying to make a few trips for this & next month in vain , have at least sorted part of June .
Was hoping to be in Melaka , Kuala Lumpur - MOKL & ? , .. but the ( Malaysia ) elections were announced . Then intended to have some “ rescue “ done at Chiva - som , Hua Hin ( for the excesses of our March / April French Polynesia & New Zealand trip ) but it will be closed for renovations in May & only reopens November . The stay at MOBKK will likely not happen as with the one for AmanYY ‘ s opening reception this Saturday .
We will be in Kila & Nusa Villas in early June .
Looks like E & O in Penang in October with possibly the aborted stops this / next month .Then Chiangmai which will go into early November , still deciding if FS or ? Then fly across to Chiva - som & MOBKK .
Mid November Dec : AmanTokyo , Nemu & RC Kyoto

Still filling in the gaps - hopefully Lupaia ( Agriturismo Montepulciano | Lupaia | Agriturismo di Lusso Toscana - Vienna residents ‘ inn ) , AmanCGV. AmanSS & ?? . But really looking ambitious & possibly too crammed for this October .
Too hot earlier & closing in November

You may be happy to have missed AmanYY for now...Clients stayed this week and had relatively poor feedback. Service was really lacking and planes flying over the resort often.

Rather return to Pulo or N’oi , for instance . Or visit Sean
, Donald & team at Taka or Lorenzo ( for his cooking ) at Jena if they sort out the spa .

Yes , from what I gather will skip staying for a long while . Possibly swing by after a Fayun stay , but looks really remote for a couple of years ..

What a great list MacMyDay. Especially keen to hear your views on Il Sereno as it's been on my list for ages (as well as their St Barths property) and haven't seen any reports. Also Villa Feltrinelli is my absolute favourite, so I hope it is equally magical for you too.

Decided to Pivot some plans...
June:
Amanjena
MO Marrakech
Villa Magna, Madrid
July's Birthday field trip:
Aman Tokyo
AmanFayun - REALLY excited about this one!
AmanYangyun (still undecided due to client's recent visit and poor feedback)...If foregoing Yangyun, then will probably spend a couple days at FS or Pen Shanghai.
Four Seasons Hong Kong (needed an outdoor pool!)

I think you should skip the obvious Amanyangyun—which you already know is wildly overrated—and go instead to Amandayan in incredible Lijiang. Trust me—Lijiang is amazing. Then return via Shanghai to stay at the Peninsula.
You heard it here first.

I think you need to add Royal Monsour in Marrakech. An air con test trip for bhrubin sounds perfect.

Yeah, I think it's likely we'll do Fayun then just Peninsula and skip Yangyun...to be honest, part of the reason I even wanted to visit Yangyun was wanting to post a review of it on here for the community
... but just seems like too much trouble and not worth the money, yet.Hate that we've managed to miss you guys again...would have been fun to meet up in Japan.
