Not sure if this is the right place to put it, but it looks like Amanusa will become a wellness retreat by Revivo:

Interesting that there are 2 of the villas offered up as well as part of the accommodation. Also interesting that they are only showing 16 suites/pool suites (instead of the full 30?)

Thanks. Who to contact ahead of stay?
Also, does anyone have a recommendation for a coffee plantation visit close by? (Would consider Kopi Luwak if its a natural and not a caged operation...)

For Amankila, in Ernst's absence, contact Agus.
Much of the other Aman GMs are away on sales meets I think.

Revivo is what was actually meant to be AZ ‘ s villa . So Amanusa Villas can use it , like their wellness centre / spa .
The villas will remain as such but we can stay individual suites & need not take the whole villa .

Amanusa will not be Revivo , I would consider what will be as worse and not for this forum , in a year ‘ s time . More later , need to get over shock ..

I'm also confused by their 2 x 4-suite villas. Isn't that a 4-bedroom villa from (what is soon formerly) Amanusa? But you're right in that the suites look individually bookable (whole villa can be booked with minimum 3 suites).
Any clarifications? I'm really confused!

I'm so confused - the "Garden Suites / Courtyard Suites / Private Pool Suites" listed on the site look like suites from the main resort (or did Adrian Zecha's villa have 16 suites that are like mini-Amanusa suites?)

What were average Nusa 4 BR villa nightly rates in the past? Under new management it is around 1000 USD, which is dirt cheap considering their size and amenities. Even if butler/cook are non Aman trained, must be amazing value. Wonder if they are able to retain staff, sadly won’t be the same.

I thought the same. Really odd. Maybe FlyerEC can clarify.

The 3-bedrooms used to start (depending on season and rate type) @USD 3,000-4,500/night++. The 5 (or is it 6?)-bedroom was ~USD 4,500-6,000/night++ I think. So 4-bedroom something in between that. Not exact rates but approximate, give or take ~USD 500-1,000/night (huge error on margin there - ha).
The Aman villas are still rentable under Aman, looks like the 3-bedroom has dropped to ~USD 2,500/night++.

Amanusa , the hotel side , & the Amanusa Villas were always separate although the properties were more or less adjoining . The “ dirt “ road linking them was chained up & not tarred . A case of so near & yet so far ..
Amanusa Villas are still under Aman ..
AZ ‘ s enormous villa ( s ) were not completed as of last year but are now
Am in the bar again , as are 2 from SIN HQ , am supposed to be enroute to the main pool .
And it looks like they're renting 2 of the 4-bedroom villas too (with suites bookable individually?).
I am really confused.
I thought AZ's villa was a singular 10-bedroom villa?
