We expected...
So the great surprise of the trip was Amantaka which – even given the very high standards we have come to expect from Aman – is setting world-class service standards, and is one of the true jewels in the Aman crown. I’d never met Gary Tyson, Amantaka’s General Manager, before this stay, but given what he’s accomplished at Amantaka, he is someone we will now follow to whatever resort he happens to oversee. What he has done in creating service standards of the utmost polish and skill in a location where there was no former 5-star experience from which to draw, is astounding. (And if you get a chance, have him tell you about the process he went through of hiring and training new employees in a “fake Amantaka” he created to serve as a training site during the construction of the resort.) Aman resorts have spoiled many of us by setting the highest bar in the world for service and housekeeping standards, and even within this stiff competition, Amantaka rises to the very top.

being there is just breathtaking. Amanjiwo is an architectural masterpiece...The GM was not there during our stay...without a doubt the best hotel we ever stayed at. It was truly a once in a lifetime experience. Only downside is that I don't think we will be able to top this, but repeat we can and we will.
The only hotels I've stayed at where I was wowed were:
Aman i Khas, India
Silky Oaks Lodge, Australia
And really, the Aman was a few notches more amazing than Silky Oaks. But that was mainly because of our personal butler and the fact that there were only about a dozen "rooms"...it's the service that makes a high end hotel.

Amankila...First, the architecture is fabulous and unique. The rooms are luxurious in a "non-western" way. They incorporate their surroundings and environment. They don't try to fight it. Everything about the Amankila is about being in tune with your surroundings. It is very spiritual, too. The service is beyond reproach. I have been to many Four Season and other very high end resorts all over the world. Although they are fabulous too, there is a subtle difference between the way Aman resorts goes about taking care of their guests. They genuinely care about your well being. They never make you feel like they are doing you a favor. They have truly mastered the fine art of service to perfection.

travelandleisureasia.com/features/2989260/adrian_zecha_opens_up_about_his_project_in_laos.ht ml
15 years ago, when Zecha launched the Serai resort in Bali, built on land he borrowed from longtime friend Franky Tjahyadikarta, owner of Alila Hotels...sold the Serai to Tjahyadikarta, who currently runs it as the Alila Manggis. "At the time, I was too busy with Aman, and Franky wanted his land back,"

Aman Resorts said: ‘After 25 years of managing Amanusa in Bali’s Nusa Dua, I can confirm that as of the 28th February 2018, the management agreement with Ancora, the owning company, will naturally come to an end.

Does Aman provide full-board in their serviced villas? Or do i have to pay for food even though the villas come with a butler and chef?

You may want to dine out at times ..

Happy new year everybody!!!
I am sure you can agree on a full board rate, but it is not included in the rates listed. When we stayed at Pulo in a villa with chef and butler, we ordered whatever we wanted or what they suggested. Checked spendings after a few days and were positively surprised. Cannot remember any details, though.

Multi-bedroom Villas do not come with full board, they are staffed with a chef and you would pay cost of the food. The resort does not offer full board anywhere in Pavilions or Villas.

Think it might be the way you phrased the question. You might want to ask if it's available as a supplementary rate. There will be limitations. It most likely won't apply in the villas however, as the chef prepares what you ask for (and therefore it's charged based on food costs) but for dining within the restaurants, some Amans do offer a supplementary rate for full-board.
