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....

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."

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.
