Seeing all the posts on social media about the Atma by Aman event in Venice (it appears the Aman PR girls where out in full force) I‘m just really really glad I skipped this. What an odd event, odd crowd, just seemed very un-Aman to me. But each to her/his own, I guess...

Whatever we think of some recent Aman updates, they are linked to travel in one form or another - this one is so out of nowhere that I'm really not sure what exactly it is supposed to be. "Odd" sums it up.

Just back from Niseko; heard rumblings about a future Aman at Mt. Moiwa (beside Mt Annupuri, home to the Niseko resorts) possibly next year. Would be a nice addition to the Japan collection of Amans, and a great luxury option there if Moiwa and Annupuri ski areas are successfully integrated.

Definitely good potential there - that destination lacks something (there's that Hoshinoya on Taketomi near Taiwan...). I'm surprised they didn't jump on it earlier. Huge Aman base in Hong Kong, Taipei and obviously Japan - all 3 would be itching for an Aman Okinawa on the beach.

Just noticed that there is (still) a page on the Aman website for Aman Costa Rica https://www.aman.com/resorts/costa-rica
Anyone have any information as to what's going on (stage of development? possible opening year?)
If you scroll down on that page, there is an aerial of one of the resort buildings. It looks stunning.

New Aman, Azerai, GHM & Ahn Luh Resorts - 2019 edition
Here it is reported, that construction did not start yet, so there will be no opening before 2021.

Aman corporate more than Aman resorts. That's how I felt with all the new/shortened names and fonts.

Has anyone heard the rumour that Doronin has sold Aman and will bow out over the next 4 years? I have heard this 3 times now, mentioning a Chinese billionaire as the buyer. Could be just fake news, but I did hear that Doronin always intended to sell Aman on, so you never know.
