Today (June 27, 2018): how to get maximum value when booking an Aman hotel?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Aman<\/a> is the world’s most exclusive hotel brand<\/a>, offering travel experiences unrivaled anywhere else. Meticulously designed to frame their natural settings, Aman hotels are renowned for breathtaking locations, locally inspired architecture, and ultimate privacy. Each welcomes guests as if to the home of a close friend, instilling a sense of peace and belonging amid some of the most diverse natural and historical landscapes. It is an approach that has changed little since 1988 when the first retreat was built on Phuket\u2019s west coast. It was named Amanpuri<\/a>, meaning \u2018place of peace\u2019, and Aman was born. Today, embracing more than 30 ultra-luxe hotels in 20 countries, Aman continues to seek out transformative experiences and awe-inspiring locations around the world.\u00a0Among Aman\u2019s habitu\u00e9s is a group of passionate repeat customers \u2013 self-proclaimed \u2018Aman junkies\u2019 (count me in) \u2013 who rave about the service and design aesthetic and whose travel plans are determined by Aman locations.<\/p>\n

But with the group\u2019s stellar reputation also comes a heavy price tag and staying at an Aman hotel requires you to dig deep in your pockets (with entry room rates well above $1000 USD per night at several properties). Unfortunately, Aman does not have a loyalty program, probably because their wealthy and loyal guests keep returning anyway. In addition, the brand does not compromise on exclusivity as you cannot book Aman hotels other than via the Aman website, luxury travel agents and some credit card companies (more on that below). So, it doesn’t make sense to start looking for the rate of an Aman hotel on\u00a0aggregator websites like\u00a0Hotelscombined<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Trivago<\/a>, since Aman won’t pop up in the search results anyway. However, there are some tips & tricks that can save you a\u00a0few hundred dollars per night when staying at an Aman hotel. I hereby share with you the 3 best strategies \u2013 at least in my opinion \u2013 for booking a room (or even suite) into an Aman property. You can share your own tricks in the\u00a0comments<\/strong>\u00a0below.<\/p>\n

1. BOOK VIA VIRTUOSO<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Almost all Aman properties belong to the portfolio of Virtuoso<\/a>. Virtuoso is not your classic hotel booking engine website. It\u2019s the\u00a0industry\u2019s leading,\u00a0invitation-only network of the world’s best luxury travel advisors, spanning over 26 countries and 9,000 travel advisors. So when you book an Aman hotel via Virtuoso, most of the time, you will be in touch with a Virtuoso travel agent who will make the booking for you. There are some Virtuoso travel agencies though that offer an online booking tool, such as\u00a0Classic Travel<\/a>, which has an excellent website and is my overall preferred Virtuoso travel agency for booking an Aman (or other luxury) hotel.<\/p>\n

Booking an Aman hotel via Virtuoso instead of via the Aman website has the following benefits:<\/p>\n
