Aman, the globally revered luxury hospitality brand synonymous with serenity, discretion and timeless design, is preparing to enter the world of ultra-luxury yachting with the launch of Amangati. Scheduled to debut in spring 2027, this purpose-built motor yacht marks Aman’s first venture at sea and promises to bring the brand’s refined philosophy to some of the Mediterranean’s most coveted destinations.

Designed for travellers who value privacy, space and cultural immersion, Amangati offers an intimate alternative to traditional cruising. With just 47 expansive suites accommodating a maximum of 94 guests, the experience is deliberately unhurried and deeply personalised. Every suite features a private terrace, allowing uninterrupted views of the sea and coastline throughout the journey.

Design Rooted in Calm and Sophistication

True to Aman’s aesthetic, Amangati’s interiors are understated yet elegant, drawing inspiration from Japanese ryokan principles. Clean architectural lines, natural materials and a neutral palette create a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces, fostering a sense of tranquillity rarely found at sea. The yacht spans nine decks, each thoughtfully curated to balance social interaction with quiet retreat.

Curated Mediterranean Journeys

The inaugural Mediterranean season will feature a collection of five- to eight-night itineraries exploring some of the region’s most storied coastlines. Voyages will span destinations such as the Balearic Islands, the French Riviera, the Dalmatian Coast and the Greek Isles, with itineraries designed to allow deeper engagement with each destination.

Unlike conventional cruise schedules, Amangati’s journeys include overnight stays, later departures and access to smaller, less-frequented ports. Select sailings are aligned with iconic cultural events, while others focus on scenic passages and historic harbours, offering guests a richer and more immersive experience.

Wellness, Dining and Life Onboard

Wellbeing sits at the heart of the onboard experience. A two-deck spa offers a comprehensive menu of treatments, alongside facilities such as a hammam, banya, fitness studio and dedicated spaces for yoga and meditation. These offerings mirror Aman’s renowned land-based wellness philosophy, adapted seamlessly for life at sea.

Dining aboard Amangati is equally considered. Multiple venues showcase a refined selection of Mediterranean cuisine, Japanese washoku and teppanyaki, and elevated grill concepts, all driven by seasonality and simplicity. Guests may also enjoy 24-hour in-suite dining or unwind in a range of lounges, including a jazz club, cinema and serene social spaces designed for effortless evenings onboard.

For those drawn to the water, the yacht’s marina lounge provides direct access to the sea, with opportunities for swimming, paddleboarding and snorkelling in secluded bays and crystal-clear coves.

A New Standard for Luxury at Sea

With Amangati, Aman is redefining what luxury yachting can be — prioritising meaningful travel, thoughtful design and uncompromising service over scale. This inaugural Mediterranean season represents not just a new chapter for the brand, but a new benchmark for discerning travellers seeking an elevated, intentional way to explore the world by sea.
