Travel East Asia in Luxurious Style with Aman Resorts

17 days from £15,770 for 2025 per person

This itinerary features in our Top 10 Romantic Holidays.

Deriving from the Sanskrit word for ‘peace’ and with 23 resorts in 19 countries, Aman properties are designed to complement the natural setting and to create the impression of private residences. This tour combines some of Southeast Asia’s most captivating highlights with stays at beach, city and rural Aman properties.

Start in China’s capital where the iconic Great Wall and Tiananmen Square await. Escape the chaotic city streets with a serene Chinese massage before retiring to Aman at Summer Palace with its century old pavilions, traditional architecture and state of the art facilities. The delicate combination of authentic and modern creates a comfortable yet distinguished setting for guests to relax and absorb the classic beauty of Beijing.

Experience a different China to that of Beijing by journeying south to Hangzhou and taking part in a guided tour of Longjing Tea Village and Nine Creeks. Stay in the historic Amanfayun settled among picturesque tea fields and forests, and revel in the ancient Chinese village ambience of the beautifully restored location.

Next, fly to Vietnam where Aman’s contemporary beachside resort and spa take pride of place along the dramatic coastline of Nui Chua National Park. Situated on a white sand beach overlooking the spectacular Vinh Hy Bay, Amanoi is Aman’s first property in Vietnam and perfect for rejuvenating the mind and soul at midway through the tour.

Arrive in Luang Prabang and transfer to Amantaka, then in the early evening enjoy a traditional Baci welcoming ceremony performed to celebrate important events and occasions. Stroll through charming streets filled with colonial houses and restaurants and watch long lines of saffron robed monks emerge from the morning mist to collect their alms. Visit the local market and the cascading waters of Kuang Si Falls before retreating to the airy and elegant Amantaka, whose delicate furnishings reflect the town’s French colonial history.

Fly south to Siem Reap and transfer to Amansara built in 1962 for King Sihanouk to accommodate visitors unable to stay at his royal residence. The 24 suite luxury resort is ideally located ten minutes from the entrance of the Angkor UNESCO World Heritage Site where guests can spend the day discovering the temples of Angkor with a private driver and guide.

Finally, experience Amanpuri in Phuket, Aman’s flagship property. Reflecting the style and elegance of Thai culture the resort’s pavilions and villas are situated in a coconut plantation overlooking the Andaman Sea. With a private white sand beach and a fleet of luxury cruisers Amanpuri is the perfect place to kick back and relax before returning to the UK.

Client Testimonials

Difficult to articulate just how good the service from you and your team really was. We know you will continue to do well and hope we have the chance to seek your assistance again before long.
- Mr & Mrs Manson, North India
I thought the Ampersand team was outstanding. We couldn’t have hoped for anything more.
- Mr Geoffrey Johnson, India
We really enjoyed the trip and were happy that we squeezed so much into a few short days. The Burmese people were lovely and the sites were fantastic. We really enjoyed the balloon ride and would highly suggest it to others in the future. The trip went super smoothly and a good time plus learning happened for all. Yangon was nice as the Strand was quite amazing and we of course loved the giant gold temple. Many thanks for all of your help and look forward to future travel with you.
- Wallace Family, Burma
I had a very lovely time and was looked after splendidly. My first visit to India could not have been better, save for being longer! But I shall return at some point and I shall look to you to make the arrangements.
- Matthew Nicklin, North India
Everything you did for us whilst we were away was hugely appreciated, and Ampersand has been exemplary in every way. I'll always recommend you!
- Mr Richard Stoughton, Sri Lanka
Difficult to choose the highlight of the trip, can’t choose between… 1) Taj Mahal & Oberoi Amarvilas. 2) Ranthambore. 3) Lake Palace. We have to say a particular thank you for selecting Parmod as our driver. He is a delightful and kind man who took our holiday and our enjoyment as his responsibility. Thank you for putting together such an amazing trip for us. The balance of city and rural destinations was perfect for us and the variety of rooms and hotel types brilliant. Our driver and guides also added so much to the trip with their knowledge of India’s history and culture and their willingness to discuss it both from a professional and personal angle.
- Carruthers family, North India
We had a wonderful holiday - everything was perfect. Thank you for helping us to make a thoughtful plan to enjoy and make most out of our trip. The places we visited, the guides, the transportation and driver, the hotels selected... Everything was great!
- Jaime Benitez, South India
Ballyfin was great - we loved it! Best things were the amount of space, it felt like you had the whole place to yourself, the history of the house, and the staff. We'd definitely recommend it. Thanks very much for all the help getting it booked!
- Mr Wyburd, Ireland
I would recommend Ampersand without any hesitation!!! The best travel agent that I’ve ever had. Everything – from the individual care and attention in planning the trip, through to the efficiency of the agents on the ground in India – was handled brilliantly. An absolutely first-class service all round!
- Matthew Annable, Rajasthan, India
Getting to Amanpulo from Manila was very simple and the beach was the most beautiful I’d ever been on; pristine white sand, not a single piece of rubbish in sight. You get your own solar powered golf buggy to drive around resort (and a butler at request). The views from the Hillside Casita were spectacular!
- Mr Wyburd, Philippines
We have just returned back from a wonderful trip. Thank you very much for organising everything. The transfer was excellent – for once they had perfect car seats. The villa was lovely, just what we needed and the hotel had helpfully put us as far away as possible from everyone else. The breakfast buffet was the best I have ever seen – and I am slightly obsessive over breakfast!! There was an incredible choice, something for everyone and so beautifully presented. A real highlight of the trip. Thank you again for sorting everything - and at such short notice!
- Redmayne family, Phuket
Ampersand provided a bespoke and flexible holiday, tailored to my every whim. Their highly professional staff had only one goal which was to arrange an exceptional holiday and some unforgettable experiences in India. I have no hesitation in fully recommending them and they will be the first company I approach in the future - 10/10
- Anonymous, India
Ampersand’s preparation, attention to detail and interaction before and during our trip show exactly why good travel agents have a role in today’s internet booking age. They were a delight to deal with!
- Mr David Wallace, North India
So many highlights to choose from! The hotels were amazing but Maya Villa was a highlight… I loved just hanging out in the hammock reading my book and watching the peacocks chase the cows!
- Krista Weir, Sri Lanka
Without question, you put together the best trip I have ever taken. We were shown around like visiting dignitaries, the hotels were fantastic and the itinerary was just right. Everybody I know will hear about how amazing Ampersand is!
- Leslie Siben, India
I barely know where to begin... though a sincere 'thank you' would be the best. You have organised this trip perfectly. May was an inspiring and delightful companion in Myanmar – thoroughly professional and friendly at the same time. My accommodation throughout has been superb, especially The Governor's Residence and The Mandarin Oriental. The view from the cottage at Inle Lake was beautiful and I loved every moment of being there. And here I am now on the last leg of this extended holiday at my favourite place. I could stay here for ever, the peace, silence and surroundings all amazing, plus the people and the whole aura of Vana. Thank you for much, and I look forward to speaking to you on my return.
- Ms Margulies, Burma, India & Thailand
