Interesting review today in The Daily Telegraph of Camp Sarika, the outward bound adjunct to Amangiri. Tented pavilions are a snip at £2600 per night and because the ten pavilions are jammed together in 55 acres, they are only operating six at the moment, to ensure social distancing. Glamping has never looked so glam, nor Covid so covetous. If only we were allowed to fly to the US but apparently it's booked up until 2022, so that's a blessing.

Indeed but this year has been a strange year (at least). Anyway, pushing the closure date after Nov 1 was still more or less on the table earlier this week but very much depending on requests. So if anybody would consider to stay during the first week of November, act now 
. Send me a PM or just contact Amanzoe/Paul via e-mail. I do know there's a request from Belgium (our Autumn break is a week after most other EU Atumn breaks) for a total of 3 pavilions.

I've extended my stay multiple times so far as I dread returning to the drearier weather up north. The hotel is absolutely packed and it was a struggle to actually extend the reservation.
I think the weather next week turns decidedly worse so I will probably head back home then.

From what I see, thunderstorms expected from next Wednesday. You still have 7 nights at least to enjoy

Yes , as Vietnam remains open , she has , unlike many of her Asian counterparts , been providing much needed enjoyment and relief during this pandemic . Hopefully , the quarantine situation is waived on return too , so our January trips to Vietnam including N’oi are possible . Pulo too . At least these countries have a domestic market and local / regional lockdowns / restrictions are easing . Other countries like Indonesia and Thailand , having their borders closed till end of this year , means putting travel hopes to those AMANs on the back burner ..

Tried Amankila few weeks ago.
Only 3 villas occupied during my time.
Service was amazing and I guess they manage to convince me to join Amanjunkies rank
I guess now plan for staying at Indonesian Amans first until the time border open and can plan for those abroad Amans

Aman just announced ( already mentioned before, thus expected) link with Hotel Rosa Alpina , Dolomites but it’s now officially known as ....an Aman partner hotel.
The image is becoming more IHG although Aman did have a recommended hotel in New Delhi before the Aman Lodhi opened.
Aman partner hotel is certainly taking Aman towards yet another direction .
Perhaps it’s an Aman in waiting after extensive work later on ?

Under the terms of the agreement, Aman will integrate marketing services and sales, as well as operations on the ground in an initial phase that will span the next 18 months. Evolving judiciously over the years to come, and after significant investment, the long-term partnership will see Rosa Alpina become a fully branded Aman in December 2022 – in time to welcome guests for the winter season.

Did you get the same email or it was a shorter one with less details?

It‘s not a bad hotel, but IMHO nothing to do with an Aman. Architecturally boring building, alpine rustic-chic interior. The only way to make this an Aman is to tear it down and rebuild it.
Doronin bought the property and now markets it through Aman, but the product is nowhere on the same level. The food is better than many Amans though...
