Embark on an around-the-world adventure of dramatic contrast, from the palaces and temples of imperial Kyoto to the souks and medinas of imperial Marrakech. Our most diverse Aman Jet Expedition to date, this is the only current journey to traverse three continents – and incorporates cities, deserts, tropical islands, and ancient centers of civilization.
Our jet is a luxurious custom-outfitted Airbus ACJ 319, one of the finest ultra-long-range private aircraft available.
Each traveler has a private suite, and there is spacious lounge ensuring ample room and an exceptionally comfortable in-flight experience, where you want to relax with a book or enjoy a cocktail with new friends.
AIRBUS ACJ 319 OR SIMILAR
Each journey accommodates only a small number of guests, while — in addition to special shared group experiences — all touring is private and includes a private car, driver and guide for each couple or solo traveler.
So, while the expeditions involve a fun social group atmosphere, they retain the benefits of private travel. With this hybrid model, we describe the Aman Jet Expeditions as being designed for people who do not usually do group travel.
Set in a secret garden at the heart of a 32-hectare forest, Aman Kyoto lies at the foot of Mount Hidari Daimonji, a stone’s throw from Kyoto’s golden Kinkaku-ji Temple and 16 other UNESCO World Heritage Sites. A tranquil Aman Spa offers onsen, while serene restaurants overlook this verdant world apart. Spacious and light-filled, the resort’s 26 latticed rooms pay contemporary homage to the traditional Japanese ryokan inn, each framing spectacular natural surroundings.
Set on its own private island in the Sulu Sea, Amanpulo is the quintessential tropical paradise. On arrival at this whisper-quiet retreat guests are greeted by cerulean skies and turquoise waters. Amanpulo offers an abundance of aquatic activities, including sailing, scuba diving and windsurfing, as well as beautiful stretches of deserted beach. On land, white sand beaches harbor deserted coves fringed by jungle and fit for exploration.
Silhouetted at sunrise against Mount Merapi's smoldering volcanic peak, UNESCO-listed Borobudur inspires artistic inclinations. Amanjiwo embraces this artistic and intellectual heartland, mirroring Borobudur's significance in its design. Crafted from blush-beige local paras Jogja limestone, the temple-like hideaway features soaring ceilings, colonnades, and a central domed stupa roof reminiscent of Borobudur itself.
As sumptuous as the city itself, Aman Venice – set in a sixteenth-century palazzo on the Grand Canal – is home to museum-quality treasures including Tiepolo frescoes, gilded ceilings and centuries-old leather wall coverings. More home than hotel, Aman Venice offers the rare privilege of space in the center of the Floating City. High ceilings and spacious light-filled salons are joined by two mature outdoor private gardens. Moments of beauty are everywhere, from St Mark’s Basilica to chance encounters with a door embellishment or fresco.
Inspired by the rose-hued buildings of old Marrakech and its twelfth-century Menara Gardens, palatial Amanjena lies just outside the fabled Red City. Amid shady courtyards with petal-strewn fountains, traditional earth-toned pisé-de-terre walls give way to the central bassin that nourishes the gardens. Radiating from this ornamental irrigation pool are spacious stand-alone guest Pavilions, each with its own garden and gazebo and many with private pools.

Learn the proper breathing techniques and practices of Zen meditation, or zazen, under the tutelage of a Buddhist monk. The primary Buddhist religious practice, meditation is done while sitting and is meant to suspend judgemental thoughts with the aim of attaining enlightenment. In Kyoto, the Rinzai school is the dominant sect of Zen Buddhism.
Accept an invitation to a world-class private collection of Japanese pottery and ceramics, in Kyoto. Here you will be introduced to an expert in Japanese pottery and licensed antique dealer, who will guide you through a curated selection of both antique pieces and those made by contemporary artists, while explaining the history and significance of each piece.
Embrace 1,000 years of Japanese tradition with a special tea ceremony, known as Chanoyu. The ceremony is a choreographed ritual of preparing and serving Japanese matcha green tea; traditional sweets are also served to balance the tea’s bitter taste. With roots in Buddhist traditions, Chanoyu is seen as a spiritual experience that embodies harmony, respect, purity and tranquility.
Be entertained by the graceful performances of a three-person troupe, typically comprising a geisha, a maiko and a jikata (shamisen player). Geisha are known for their wit, beauty and encyclopedic knowledge of traditional arts. They entertain their guests with traditional dances, jovial sake drinking games and lighthearted conversation. Traditionally, one is unable to enter the establishment unless referred by an existing patron.

This is one of the best things we've ever done in our lives. We're both workaholics, so we never got to travel that much. And when we did travel, it was such a big deal getting things arranged and whatever. This is like a fairy godmother came down and said, okay, I'm going to take care of every detail and I'm going to do it not just first class, but way above first class.

The highlight of the trip was not needing to plan anything. It feels so freeing to just be able to get on a flight, not have to do any work for the trip, and have a far beyond amazing experience that's not so touristy and more localized. Another thing I loved was that we had a driver and a tour guide everywhere we go.

The one thing that sets it apart is having the private driver and guide. And the reason why it's so special is we're not shoved on a bus to all do one thing. You're able to get off and do your thing and it makes it more of a personalized feeling.
