Aman at Sea: Everything You Need to Know About Amangati

Published 29th of April 2026 | By Alex Loizou

Aman has spent more than 35 years building their quiet sanctuaries on land. However, in spring 2027, the brand takes that same philosophy to the water with Amangati, the first yacht in the new Aman at Sea fleet.

Here is what we know so far about the yacht, the suites, the dining, the Aman Spa at sea and, most importantly, what it will actually feel like to sail on her.

Aman at Sea: the philosophy, translated to water

Amangati is a hotel brand taken to sea with very little compromise. The name means "peaceful motion" in Sanskrit and that sets the whole tone. No casino. No big production theatre. No announcements over the tannoy. Just 94 guests across 47 suites, making Amangati the smallest of the new wave of luxury yacht launches and, by a clear margin, the most expensive.

If you already know Aman on land, the visual and emotional language will be familiar. Design is restrained, considered and rooted in Japanese ryokan sensibilities. Where Orient Express Corinthian celebrates Art Deco ornament and 1920s glamour, Amangati puts absence at the centre. Full-height windows. Natural stone. Warm timber. The sea as the main event.

This is a polarising approach. For the right guest, it will be the most considered yacht at sea. For anyone who loves the social buzz of a proper ship, it will feel too quiet.

The yacht

Amangati measures 180 metres across nine decks. She is being built at T. Mariotti in Genoa, with exterior and interior design by Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design. Hybrid propulsion includes battery power for quieter sailing and reduced emissions, which matters on a yacht where silence is genuinely part of the product.

Two helipads and six tenders give Amangati a level of flexibility that most yachts do not have. You can arrive by helicopter, leave by helicopter, or slip ashore from a remote anchorage without ever setting foot in a busy port. A 16 metre infinity pool sits beneath the open sky, two sea pools bookend the yoga deck and the Selora Marina opens the hull directly to the water through extendable platform wings.

Amangati is also available for full private charter, which will likely appeal to families travelling together, corporate groups or anyone looking for a private superyacht experience without buying their own vessel.

Accommodation on Amangati

This is where the Aman price point starts to make sense. Even the entry-level Deluxe Suite measures 703 to 731 square feet inside, plus a 171 square foot private terrace. That is more than double the entry suite on Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection and comfortably larger than Four Seasons Yachts. Every Aman at Sea suite has full-height windows, ceilings up to 2.5 metres and a dedicated Suite Host looking after everything from unpacking to daily laundry and pressing.

Aman Suite

The flagship. Set at the stern of Deck 5, the Aman Suite runs to 3,811 square feet with a private lift, soaring ceilings and wrap-around windows. Inside there is a generous living and dining space, a professional chef's kitchen, a private bar, a king-size bedroom, a marble bathroom with soaking tub, private sauna and an in-suite treatment room. Outside, the teak terrace has a whirlpool, loungers and alfresco dining for up to ten guests. It really is apartment scale.

Grand Suite

Bow-facing on Deck 6. Grand Suites are designed around symmetry and light, with an L-shaped sofa and club chairs in the living area, a king-size bedroom, and a marble bathroom with dual sinks and a soaking tub. The private terrace gives you the full sweep of the forward view. Marble sourced outside Rome, timbers chosen for warmth, finishes that reward close attention.

Signature Suite

Midship on Deck 6, 868 to 918 square feet, with floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors that dissolve the boundary between suite and sea. A window-side daybed, a proper writing desk and a bathroom with dual vanities, soaking tub and separate shower.

Premier Suite

On Deck 5, 788 to 795 square feet. Premier Suites can adjoin each other to form two or three bedroom configurations, which works well for families or travelling groups who want privacy where they want it and shared space where they don't.

Deluxe Suite

The starting point. Deluxe Suites sit on Decks 5 and 6 and range from 703 to 731 square feet with a private terrace. Natural materials, tonal palettes, king-size or double beds, dual vanities, soaking tub and separate shower. Every Deluxe Suite has Starlink Wi-Fi, an in-suite beverage centre stocked to your preferences and an integrated drop-down TV. These are the most affordable Aman at Sea suites and the ones most guests will start with.

Dining and bars on Amangati

There are eight dining and lounge venues across the yacht. Four restaurants, plus a handful of bars and lounges. The Aman at Sea fare model works the way an Aman resort does rather than a traditional cruise. A core offering is included and then specialty experiences sit alongside as add-ons. It is a pay-for-what-you-use approach, which existing Aman guests will find completely natural.

Included in the fare

Alira is the all-day Mediterranean restaurant, open-air and relaxed, with daily menus shaped by the ports you are sailing through. Breakfast, lunch, dinner and casual dining are all included here. Beer, soft drinks and coffee are included across the yacht.

Specialty restaurants and premium beverages

Akari is the Japanese omakase restaurant, with its counter and adjoining Sake Bar. Hiori is the teppanyaki room, where each course unfolds with quiet theatre from sushi and miso through wagyu and a closing ceremony. Aman Grill sits alongside The Bar at Aman Grill, built around aged meats, whole fish and smoke-forward cocktails. These specialty venues come on a supplementary basis. Wine and spirits are billed separately too.

If you already travel with Aman on land, this structure will feel familiar and you will plan around it instinctively. If you are new to the brand, it is simply worth understanding upfront so your onboard experience feels expected rather than a surprise. We are happy to give you a realistic sense of likely onboard spend as part of the booking conversation.

Bars and lounges

The Jazz Club is the social heart of the evening, inspired by the space at Aman New York, with live music and a terrace that opens into the night. The Cigar Lounge is deliberately quieter, with a humidor, rare spirits and the feel of a members' club. The Sake Bar offers artisanal small-batch sakes before or after dinner. The Pool Bar handles the open-air daytime trade for light bites and chilled wines. The Gelato Bar is pure indulgence, with small-batch flavours served in cones, cups or affogato style. The Bar at Aman Grill brings smoke-kissed spirits and barrel-aged whiskies into the glass.

The Aman Spa at sea

The Aman Spa on Amangati is the largest wellness facility currently planned in luxury yachting and the scale is the point. 12,817 square feet across two decks. With eight ocean-facing treatment suites, each with a private terrace and open-air whirlpool. A two-storey Japanese serenity garden at the heart of the space. A hammam drawing on Turkish and Moroccan bathing traditions, with polished marble benches and cascading water. A banya running the Eastern European ritual of heat, steam and birch leaves. A Medi Spa with consultation rooms and advanced therapies overseen by expert practitioners. Plus, a Beauty Lounge for manicures, pedicures, express facials and hairstyling.

The Yoga and Meditation Deck sits open to the sea. Two shallow sea pools, one port, one starboard, bookend the space for restorative immersion between practice and stillness. The Fitness Studio runs the latest Technogym cardio and strength equipment, with sweeping ocean views.

The treatments are organised around four pillars, nutrition, movement, psychological health and bodywork. If wellness is the reason you travel, Amangati has no direct competition at this kind of scale.

The Selora Marina and the water

Selora Marina and Lounge opens the hull directly to the sea. Two floating platforms give access to a fleet of water toys. Two dedicated sport tenders handle everything from waterskiing to leisurely boat rides. The terraced lounge above is where afternoon tea happens, where golden-hour drinks are poured and where the pace of the day tends to slow. It is the part of the yacht that guests will use most and it is where stillness and adventure sit side by side.

Shore experiences

Shore excursions are not included in the fare. They are curated privately through the onboard concierge, with bespoke experiences arranged on request. Late departures and overnight port stays are built into the itinerary deliberately, so the pace encourages depth rather than port-collecting. Select calls include UNESCO World Heritage access and private cultural encounters arranged through Aman's on-land network.

Amangati itineraries: the inaugural Mediterranean season

The maiden voyage departs Palma de Mallorca on 7 May 2027, sailing to Nice via Menorca, Barcelona, Palamós, Marseille and Saint-Tropez. Six nights, a port call every day, and a good template for how the season will feel.

From there, Amangati spends the summer and early autumn across the Mediterranean. Ports span the French and Italian Rivieras, Croatia's Dalmatian Coast, the Greek islands, Malta, Turkey and Mediterranean Spain. Itineraries run five to eight nights. Rarely visited calls like Ponza in Italy, Gozo in Malta, Porto Cervo in Sardinia and Beaulieu-sur-Mer on the Côte d'Azur sit alongside the more familiar names.

Event-timed Amangati itineraries coincide with the Cannes Film Festival, where the yacht docks for seven days and the Monaco Grand Prix, where she stays for two. A separate voyage includes a sunset passage through Venice's Grand Canal, past San Marco Square and out into the lagoon. These dates will book first and fastest.

Entry-level fares start at about £28,800 per suite for Deluxe accommodation on shorter voyages, rising to £53,000 and beyond for larger suites and longer sailings. That makes Amangati the most expensive of the recent luxury yacht launches by a meaningful margin.

Who Amangati is right for

Amangati is the right choice if:

  • You already travel with Aman and understand the brand's philosophy

  • Wellness and deep quiet matter more to you than inclusions or entertainment

  • You want the feel of a private superyacht without the complexity of chartering one

  • You value depth over destination variety and welcome late departures and overnight stays

  • Price genuinely is not the deciding factor

It may not be the right fit if:

  • You prefer a fully inclusive fare that covers wine, spirits and all dining venues
  • You are drawn to livelier social atmosphere or evening entertainment

  • You travel solo and want a sociable single-traveller experience

  • You want destination variety beyond the Mediterranean in year one

Our view

Amangati is one of the most considered yachts at sea for the right guest. The design is beautiful. The Aman Spa is unmatched at this scale. The suites are generous at every level, and the slower pace with late departures and privately curated shore experiences genuinely rewards guests who want to go deeper into fewer places.

The fare model is the one area that benefits from a proper conversation before booking. Because Amangati mirrors Aman's resort-style approach rather than a blended all-inclusive cruise fare, the right planning depends on how you like to dine and drink on holiday. We can walk you through likely onboard spend so you book with eyes open and confidence.

Amangati is a natural fit for guests who already love Aman on land, because so much of what makes the yacht special is the philosophy she carries with her. For anyone newer to the brand, Orient Express Corinthian or a Ritz-Carlton yacht can be a gentler introduction to luxury yacht travel and we are always happy to help you think through which one suits you best.

What comes next

Amangati is described as Aman at Sea's inaugural yacht, which suggests more will follow, though nothing has been confirmed. For now, the Mediterranean 2027 season is where to focus attention.

If any of this sounds like your kind of travel, if you want to compare Amangati side by side with the other new luxury yacht launches, or if you want an honest view on whether this is the right yacht for you, we are happy to talk it through.
