Any confirmation from insiders here?
EDIT: It does look like Aman has pulled all non-villas from the reservation system as of 2/28.

Now that the rumours are circulating, yes I have it from a good source a while back that it will close down as you can also guess from the lack of any reservations post March 2018.

It is built on a rented land owned by the government. The land is part of resort complex that hosts various luxury hotels including St. Regis and Club Med

Hmm this sounds like a mess.. wonder if the government was trying to play hardball with the lease terms... the Bali Amans were unique in that is seemed that they were subject to pricing pressures because of the vast array of other luxury options... I think the rates inBali have actually gone down from my visit; in contrary to all the other Amans I've looked at... And, how do they come to terms with the villas still being open with the hotel being closed? I'm sure part of the allure of purchasing a villa was the available hotel amenities... Must be a real headache...

It's a tough market like that - Phuket is similar but has survived, but Phuket also lacks options relatively speaking in the same range as Amanpuri, whereas Bali (despite agreements/disagreements on some of the Amans being superior or not) clearly have plenty of really good alternatives, or at the very least alternatives that are extremely good value for money. It's a tough, tough market and only going to get tougher with more and more hotels opening.

New Aman Costa Rica opening. Great for us in North America! This is a direct flight away for me.
Here is the hotel website: http://amancostarica.com/ (looks like there will be for sale residences too)
Here is the teaser on Aman corporate site: https://www.aman.com/resorts/costa-rica
Here is a nice video on the land I found.

nusa - operating as hotel? closing to public? tearing down? is there an owner or not?
if no owner (yet) i guess decision is pending transfer of leasehold / whatever
costa rica - room/residence count? is there master plan / how close to other hotels?
hopefully here https://www.google.com/maps/place/Pl...!4d-85.8116618
