Interesting, I would think Seasons of discoveries would be a better deal for Amanyara given food costs, especially if you have a Citi Prestige...

However, if all you can swing is a four night stay then not a bad option.. I wonder if you can swing combining FHR/Seasons of discoveries....

Pietro Addis left galla in mar, and is now at como Maalifushi
(re timing - external hires at dari/giri/nera were all in apr)
interesting he was involved in opening 360 Leti & Shakti Ladakh

nice that it seems the hotel manager is acting-GM if not GM

spent five years at Amanjiwo..recalls..constantly came across details Tuttle had taken from local temples. "There was always the surprise, the tiny interpretation of sense of place."

Well that stinks he left, but I'm happy he is at Maalifushi ... gives me an excuse to go back. Between he and Bruce at Cocoa, I cannot imagine two better run properties in the Maldives.

A refurbished Aman Le Mélézin to open late 2016

On Friday 16 December 2016, Aman Le Mélézin will reopen following a comprehensive eight-month refurbishment. The extensive refurbishment, undertaken to enhance the guest experience whilst maintaining the spirit and charm of the traditional French château, will present 19 renovated Chambres and Suites, three of which will each feature a large terrace and a private hot tub made from red cedar wood.

Not sure if mentioned earlier
Audrey S is GM Amangalla

Filipe de L is GM Amanwella

We will soon bid a very sad farewell to Mark SWINTON .
( Glad that he has developed a strong team with the numerous changes going on . Really appreciate all the amazing Aman caring he has done for me , family , friends & my FTer friends )

But pleased and relieved that Ian WHITE will be GM at Nusa and Regional Director of Indonesia

Not sure who will be at Jiwo though

To add the list of farewells, GM Sally has also recently left Amansara for a well deserved break at NZ.

New GM at Sara is Astrid Killian, from Jena.

Relatively more changes indeed

IIRC , Astrid K was at Ruya before Jena with the JUETTs . So should be in good hands
Will of course miss Sally doing the pre openings & openings
