Here are some tags. The one with the Indian motif is the reverse of the current Amangiri tag. Older tags didn't have that.
Amangalla, Sveti Stefan, Amangiri, Amanoi
Amangalla, Sveti Stefan, Amangiri, Amanoi

I love them… but more so the old ones with individual logos… so very special. My suitcases carried dozens of them, sadly they attract thieves so I stopped and put them on carry-ons.
They are quietly attached after your stay and you will likely notice them when Aman luggage handlers carry your belongings at the airport.

Hey all!
My family and I are heading to Bali in couple of weeks. We have been contemplating a stay at Amankila for weeks now. However, our biggest concern is this upcoming trip is a very short and packed one, hence we could only stay here for one night.
Do you guys think a night stay at Amankila would be too short? Should we save it for the next trip to enjoy the full experience of the resort?
Many thanks!

Depending on where you are coming from/going to, but you could end up using half that time just getting to Amankila (given traffic on Bali -- or maybe it is not too bad these days, given Covid). At very least I would try to estimate that first. If you want Aman and want something closer to the Airport which you would have more time to enjoy, then perhaps Aman Villas at Nusa Dua?
We will head to Amankila from Nusa Dua, so estimated journey is 80 minutes each way.
Since we will stay in Nusa Dua for couple of nights, we prefer to stay in a different neighbourhood. Thus being said, Aman Villas has been crossed off from our list of preference.

Is Amanwana closing for renovations? They are accepting reservations for this summer, but then are blocking the rest of the calendar through February. I didn't think it was a seasonal resort, but could be wrong.

Aman Sveti Stefan
Was planning a trip to the Balkans around going to the Aman Sveti Stefan. Availability was open all of last week and was about ready to book when I noticed the reservations link was removed from the website today. Called Aman and they said something happened to the hotel that forced them to close it for the duration of the 2021 season, with no estimated reopening date.
Anyone know anything about what's going on?

Think we are not supposed to delve into politics on FT ?
That is also why yours truly & many others are stuck where we are - no flying ‼️
How stressful is this for FTers ⁉️
Was hoping to stay AmanSS as did not make it during Tapa ‘ s tenure , before & after , various attempts .. but perhaps visit as UNESCO Heritage site instead , we shall see .
Disappointing state of affairs

AMANs luggage tags
No flying - so no AMANs though numerous potential stays
Some AMANs luggage tags through the years . If you look carefully , you will note how each property had their own character & font .
Became boring - run of mill after visionary AZ was no longer part of AMAN doing his usual trail blazing . You will see starting with Puri ..
Then Indonesian AMANs - Dari , Jiwo , Kila , Nusa and Wana .. now where are the Aman at Nusa Villas ⁉️ ‼️
A few from Puri
The Indonesian ones .. think missing quite a number
Hmm .. Few more rather battered Nusa ones !
ASP ( Summer Palace ) , Taka , N’oi , Wella , Galla & AmanTokyo
2 more battered Kila tags along with one from Dari and Taka . Spot the differences from the ones in other photo
Need to locate the Aman at Nusa Villas , , .. Gani , Jena .. Pulo , Zoe , etc ones if not stolen . Some were gone from check - in luggage on arrival / baggage claim areas - henceforth only on cabin luggage !
Save them , especially those from Nusa , AmanSS .. & the “ originals “ , if you have them .
Aman Villas at Nusa Dua 😊 , Pulo ‼️, a “ refreshed “ Kila losing colour & uniqueness
Coming along , an Aman at Nusa Dua Villas & also a Pulo have surfaced , what a relief , along with a newer Kila .. now to rummage for others ..
FYI , the table cloth is from a lovely primarily lace shop on Burano . Enjoyable day trip , thanks to recommendation from team at AmanCGV ( think no ‘ real ‘ luggage tags then ) , almost 2 years ago now .
Was hoping to return last year , in vain .. looks like it will not happen this year either .

Sveti Stefan Update
Some very interesting new background information on Sveti Stefan: The hotel will stay closed for the 2021 season and according to the report Aman could even pull out of Montenegro permanently. Allegedly Queens Beach has been fenced in illegaly and angry locals recently tore down the fence.

Let ‘ s just say politicians do not get it .. Sadly

Visits in future there will possibly be only as a UNESCO Heritage site and hopefully by then , with fewer of the locals who do not seem to respect ownership just as the country ‘ s new president .
Think a day trip as a cruise activity remains an option .
And the luggage tag post , “ Save them , especially those from Nusa , AmanSS .. & the “ originals “ , if you have them . “
There will be none of these luggage tags again .

So sad to see what is happening at SS. It was magical when we were there a few years ago and have been wanting to return. I found an article that mentions some construction of apartment blocks in Milocer Park...is that real? Or perhaps just lost in translation. I wonder if this will have any implication for the Janu project.
