DISCOVER SOUTHEAST ASIA

Aman Jet Expedition, November 10 - 20, 2024

VIETNAM • LAOS • CAMBODIA • THAILAND

Up to 18 guests can join this exclusive expedition from the dramatic coastline of Nui Chua National Park to the Andaman-lapped island of Phuket. Traveling by private jet from Vietnam to Thailand via Laos and Cambodia, guests will stay exclusively in Aman properties, including Amanoi, Amantaka, Amansara, and Amanpuri.

Some of the highlights include:

• Savouring the remote coastal paradise of Vinh Hy Bay

• Absorbing the peace and timeless spirituality of Unesco-protected Luang Prabang

• Exploring the wonders of Angkor’s remarkable ruins

• Relaxing on Phuket’s palm-fringed sands in an experience offering natural beauty and enriching cultural immersion in equal measure

DESTINATION 1: VIETNAM

Amanoi, Vinh Hy Bay, Vietnam

Backed by the rolling hills of Nui Chua National Park, Amanoi is perched on a dramatic stretch of Vietnam’s coastline with spectacular views of the East Sea. From its clifftop restaurants and swimming pool to its extensive lakeside Aman Spa and idyllic Beach Club in a private white-sand cove, Amanoi is a remote natural paradise inspiring both adventure and serenity. Explore the National Park with guided hikes to Temple Cove, Goga Peak, or Hanging Lake, cycle through local villages to visit morning markets, and discover Vinh Hy Bay by boat with lunch in a floating restaurant and tea in a fishing village. Surrender to the healing touch of the spa’s expert therapists and dine on the finest Vietnamese fare. A farewell dinner on the beach will round off your stay.

Destination 2: LAOS

Amantaka, Luang Prabang, Laos

The pace of Luang Prabang is seductively slow. Observe the ebb and flow of the mighty Mekong River and flashes of saffron as Buddhist monks tread silently between temples in Laos’ spiritual capital, a well-preserved Unesco World Heritage Site. At the foot of sacred Mount Phousi, Amantaka’s historic French colonial buildings retain their era’s genteel grace amid lush gardens, while private pools and an expansive spa keep contemporary souls in their comfort zone. A traditional Baci ceremony will bless your arrival, and a personal guide will help you discover the town’s historic treasures from the Royal Palace to iconic temples. A boat trip on the Mekong to Pak Ou Cave – full of Buddhist statues, a hike to the village of Ban Muang Khaeo, visiting rescued elephants, and witnessing the traditional almsgiving ceremony at dawn are sure to be highlights.

DESTINATION 3: CAMBODIA

Amansara, Siem Riep, Cambodia

Once a residence for guests of the King, Amansara rests in serene seclusion just minutes from Angkor’s fabled temples. A verdant sanctuary with two swimming pools, a tranquil spa, a peaceful roof terrace, and 24 suites, Amansara is the ideal base for exploring the remarkable Unesco-protected ruins and experiencing Khmer culture. Witness sunrise gilding Angkor Wat, count the many stone faces of Jayavarman VII on Bayon, and marvel at the giant strangler figs holding Ta Prohm firmly in their embrace. A Khmer fashion show and cocktails will celebrate your first evening, while your last day will begin with a helicopter tour of Angkor and culminate in a candlelit temple dinner on the grounds of Banteay Samre.
