Aman has announced its first superyacht, Amangati, taking the resort brand’s approach to space and stillness onto open water. The vessel is the hospitality group’s first move into sailing and follows the same principles that shape its resorts: restraint, privacy and a deep sense of place.
Built across nine decks and designed by Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design, the vessel holds just 47 suites, each with a private terrace. Space, rather than scale, defines the experience. Eight bar and dining venues, four wellness spaces and a spa positioned at the yacht’s highest point complete a vessel built around restraint rather than spectacle.
Sailing begins in spring 2027, with itineraries planned across the Mediterranean, the Caribbean and an Atlantic passage connecting the two. What follows is a closer look at what guests can expect on board.
Suites built for space and stillness
Each of the 47 suites aboard Amangati favours openness over ornament. Ceilings reach up to 2.5 metres, a height matched by full-height windows that blur the line between cabin and sea. Private terraces extend the living space outward, giving each suite a sense of proportion rare on a yacht of this size.
Bathrooms are generously sized and paired with intuitive technology throughout the suite, allowing guests to adjust their surroundings with minimal effort. A dedicated Suite Host is assigned to each guest, attending to requests with a discreet, low-key presence rather than a visible one. The result is a cabin that functions less like a stateroom and more like a self-contained retreat.
Dining shaped by season and craft
Food on board follows Aman’s long-standing preference for simplicity over showmanship. Alira, the all-day restaurant, draws on Mediterranean cooking traditions, moving from Greek islands to Amalfi lemon groves to Provençal lavender fields as the itinerary shifts. Nearby, Aman Grill turns to open-flame cooking, serving prime aged meats and whole fish with tableside preparation and sommelier-led wine pairings.
Japanese cuisine takes two distinct forms. Hiori offers teppanyaki cooked in front of guests, paired with sake, rare whisky and tea. Akari, meanwhile, follows the principles of washoku, the UNESCO-recognised culinary tradition built on seasonal ingredients and precise technique, with a menu that moves between set dishes and an omakase tasting.
Beyond the eight venues, a private dining room seats up to ten guests for smaller gatherings, drawing largely from the Aman Grill menu with bespoke options available on request. In-suite dining runs around the clock, covering everything from wellness-focused dishes to familiar comfort food, served without guests needing to leave their suite.
A spa built for open water
At the top of the yacht sits the Aman Spa, described by the brand as the largest of its kind at sea. An open-air serenity garden and private treatment suites make use of the yacht’s elevated position, with uninterrupted sea views built into the design rather than added as an afterthought.
Treatment rooms open directly onto private terraces and whirlpool baths, extending the sense of space found throughout the suites into the wellness areas. Yoga, meditation and beauty treatments round out a programme built around rest rather than activity, reflecting the same unhurried pace that runs through the rest of the yacht.
A 16-metre pool sits high above the water line, offering uninterrupted sea views in both directions. It is positioned as a space for quiet rather than a social hub, in keeping with the tone set elsewhere on board.
Evenings, gatherings and life at the marina
As daylight fades, the mood shifts toward two contrasting spaces. The Cigar Lounge offers a quieter setting for slower conversation, while The Jazz Club, inspired by Aman New York, brings live music and craft cocktails to longer evenings. Both sit alongside the Bar at Aman Grill, which focuses on smoke-forward cocktails and barrel-aged whisky.
Below deck level, the Marina extends the yacht’s connection to the water itself. Two platform wings sit directly on the surface, giving access to a range of water toys for guests who prefer activity to stillness. It functions as the most flexible space on board, adapting from a quiet swimming spot to a more active base depending on the moment.
Amangati is also built to host. Private charters can be arranged for celebrations, corporate retreats or smaller ceremonies, with dedicated event hosts managing everything from initial planning through to delivery. Flexible spaces and custom itineraries allow each charter to be shaped around the specific occasion rather than fitted into a fixed format, giving hosts a level of control not always available on land.
