With a wellness philosophy grounded in nutrition, movement, mindfulness and bodywork – Aman’s properties present extensive facilities focused on holistic wellbeing, with treatments that draw on their surrounds to rejuvenate body, mind and spirit. In line with this approach, Aman is pleased to announce a calendar of inspiring wellness initiatives across the globe throughout 2025, from modern therapies in the heart of Manhattan to onsen escapes in the gardens of Kyoto. Alongside these new initiatives, Aman will also continue its partnerships with two of the world’s greatest athletes, Maria Sharapova and Novak Djokovic as advisors to Aman’s wellness offering.
