Aman Resorts Unveils Amangati, Its First Luxury Yacht Launching in 2027
Amangati marks Aman Resorts’ entry into luxury yachting, blending minimalist Japanese-inspired design and advanced sustainability with exclusive experiences for high-end travelers.
Aman Resorts, renowned for its ultra-luxury hotels and resorts, has unveiled plans for its first luxury yacht, Amangati, scheduled to launch in spring 2027. The 600-foot vessel, whose name translates to "peaceful motion" in Sanskrit, will offer an intimate and exclusive experience with just 47 suites. Conceived by Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design, Amangati is designed to resemble a superyacht rather than a traditional cruise ship, emphasizing minimalist elegance inspired by Japanese ryokan architecture. Each suite features floor-to-ceiling windows and spacious balconies to create an airy and serene onboard atmosphere.
Luxury Features and Amenities
Amangati aims to redefine luxury travel at sea by offering a suite of high-end experiences commonly associated with its iconic resorts. Onboard offerings include:
- Four international restaurants serving curated dining experiences.
- An intimate jazz club for entertainment.
- The signature Aman Spa, complemented by a serene Japanese garden.
- A rear beach club with direct ocean access for waterside leisure activities.
In alignment with Aman’s commitment to privacy and exclusivity, the ship’s layout emphasizes low-density accommodations and personalized service for discerning travelers. Vlad Doronin, Aman’s Chairman and CEO, stated, "This vessel embodies Aman's dedication to privacy, exceptional service, and luxurious amenities, ensuring guests experience the very best in maritime travel."
Sustainable Design and Environmental Responsibility
Reflecting increasing expectations for sustainability in luxury travel, Amangati will employ a hybrid propulsion system to reduce emissions and improve fuel efficiency. The cutting-edge technology aligns with Aman’s effort to balance ecological responsibility with guest comfort, setting a precedent for sustainable practices within the ultra-luxury yacht market. Construction milestones include the keel laying ceremony last July, followed by its christening in April.
Construction and Launch Timeline
The yacht is being built at the T. Mariotti shipyard in Genoa, Italy, a facility recognized for crafting bespoke luxury vessels tailored to exclusive travel markets. Upon completion, Amangati will not only offer scheduled itineraries but also private charter options, allowing flexibility for group travel and personalized voyages. The launch of Amangati in spring 2027 exemplifies Aman’s endeavor to bring its philosophy of high-touch hospitality to the water.
Competition in the Luxury Marine Market
With growing interest in the luxury marine sector, Aman joins hospitality brands such as Ritz-Carlton and Four Seasons in venturing into ultra-premium yacht travel. These brands have introduced vessels reflecting their distinct ethos, providing affluent travelers with more options for exclusive maritime experiences. Amans focus on privacy and personalized service, combined with its environmentally conscious design, aims to set a new standard within this competitive industry segment.
