After unveiling its inaugural Mediterranean season, Aman at Sea is moving to the next stage. The maritime division of the ultra-luxury hotel group Aman has just opened reservations for the first Caribbean itineraries of Amangati, its very first yacht hotel. This 180-metre floating palace will set sail for the Antilles in Winter 2027-2028, confirming the enthusiasm of major hotel groups for the next generation of luxury yachts.
Amangati, Aman’s First Floating Palace
Designed by the studio Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design and built by the T. Mariotti shipyard in Genoa, Amangati will make its maiden voyage on 7 May 2027, from Palma de Mallorca to Nice. Measuring 180 metres long and spread over nine decks, this sea giant will nevertheless accommodate only 94 guests, housed in 47 spacious suites opening onto the ocean. Each features a large private terrace, a whirlpool bath, and a dedicated Suite Host. Travertine, eucalyptus and cedar wood, hand-sculpted glass: Aman’s signature minimalist aesthetic is transposed here into a marine version. Its name, meaning ‘peaceful movement’ in Sanskrit, encapsulates the ambition of this joint venture between Aman and Cruise Saudi.
A Caribbean Season Departing from Antigua
From 21 November 2027 to 2 January 2028, Amangati will make Saint John’s, Antigua and Barbuda, its home port to explore the pristine archipelagos of the Antilles. It will arrive there after an Atlantic crossing designed as a journey of regeneration, thirteen nights connecting Malaga to the Azores and then to the Caribbean arc, under the banner of the brand’s signature well-being. On site, the season unfolds in five- to eight-night cruises, true to the ship’s philosophy: late departures, stops with overnight stays at the quay or at anchor, and a preference for discreet moorings over crowded ports.
Three Routes, from the Leeward Islands to the Dutch Caribbean
The season is structured around three main regional itineraries. The Leeward Islands kick off the season, from the picturesque port of Gustavia in Saint-Barthélemy to the white sandy beaches of Saint Kitts and Nevis, with rare stops in Saba, Montserrat, the British Virgin Islands, and a beach day at Prickly Pear Cay, off Anguilla. The Windward Islands then take travellers south, from Les Saintes in Guadeloupe to the majestic Pitons of Saint Lucia, via Dominica, Martinique, and the Grenadines. Finally, the Dutch Caribbean explores the ABC islands, Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao, between coral gardens, the pastel waterfront of Willemstad, and Tobago Cays. The season will conclude with an intimate New Year’s Eve celebration at a private resort in Nevis.
The Largest Spa in Luxury Yachting
Onboard, well-being takes centre stage. The Aman Spa on Amangati is presented as the most extensive in all of luxury yachting: a two-storey sanctuary, featuring a Japanese serenity garden and treatment rooms opening onto the ocean. Four signature restaurants, a Marina offering direct sea access with paddleboards and kayaks, a yoga deck, a Jazz Club, a swimming pool, and even a helipad complete the experience. This allows for the creation of a true Aman resort on the waves, tailored to discreet anchorages.
With Amangati, Aman transposes its renowned art of sanctuary onto the oceans, where land was no longer sufficient. The group thus joins a race for ultra-luxury yacht hotels already launched by Four Seasons, The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, and Orient Express. One thing is certain: for lovers of discreet luxury, the Caribbean horizon has never looked so desirable.
