I staid here with my then love., 2010. His aunt owned the hotel before it was sold to the Aman resort. It’s just as I remember it.. Thank you for the clip.
I've stay here too. I've also stayed at Amanwella. I prefer Amanwella. Amangalla has more of an old world charm. It's part of a colonial era building. Amangalla is a little like The Raffles Hotel in my country, Singapore. It's a more understated, less 'pretentious' version of Raffles Hotel. Which is lovely. The most luxurious hotel I've ever stayed in is the Umaid Bhawan Palace in Jodhhur. It's a stunning and impressive building. The Maharaja's family still stays in this palace. Do check it out.
I walked past the front of this hotel in April 2018 and wondered what it was like inside. Thank you for showing me!
Wow another beauty. Very nice hotel. Hope before i closed my eyes for good, wish to visit at least 1 aman resort. I want Aman Pulo.
I love the new and upgraded look of your videos, it is simply amazing and immersing! Keep it up, can't wait to see the Amanzoe video!
When it comes to traveling people have different needs. Some enjoys big cities, famous monuments, museums, malls clubs etc. Me on the other hand enjoys peace and quite. I like to visit secluded islands far far away from hustle and bustle of big cities. My favorite hotel brands are Soneva and Six Senses.
Mine or Soneva, Six Senses and ... Aman. Real Amanjunkie here :-)
Sameer Ali +1 absolutely love Six Senses
My three favorite are Aman, Oetker Collection and Six Senses.
It is such a joy to sit and unwind with your videos (and a glass of wine). It is my weekend treat at the end of a long week, and when the kids are asleep. Please don't change the format - it is perfect. Where are we going next?
My next clips will be: Amanwella (Sri Lanka), Austrian B777 Business Class, Rosewood Vancouver (Canada), Emirates A380 Business Class, Bangkok (Park Hyatt & Banyan Tree), Greece (Amanzoe, Grande Bretagne Hotel, Grace Santorini, Oia Luxury Suites & Kivotos Mykonos) and Bali :-)
@@luxurytravelexpert ...you need to get out more....😄!!
Thanks luxury travel expert...ur videos made me to see each and every corner of the world..luv ur videos..kudos man
I love the soothing music you put on all your videos. It really helps me relax.
Save a prayer by Duran Duran was shot here in 1982.
疲れたら見る。
滞在したことはないけど。
なにかしら味わえる。
そして気分が上がる😃
本当に素敵な動画。
THANK YOU😉👍🎶
Very charming. You can feel the incredible history and elegance even through the screen. 😍
Couldn't agree more!
Beautiful, romantic, vintage & elegant..... Simply my cup of tea
I was there about 20 years ago, drinking tea of course :-), in a beautiful serene setting. Loved it.
It’s a very beautiful Place. I stay in a lot of hotels because of my job. These are mostly Marriott and Hilton as well as NH collection. Mostly the big Brands. These are typical Business and City Hotels and have everything we need. When I’m on vacation I love to stay in Club Med. I’m a huge fan. It combines everything I want. Located in beautiful places it offers Sport activity’s and water sports. They have a Payot Spa and delicious food and the staff is very good.
Another lovely video of a rare location! Love the serene music that you select. Please film a February video in one of our favorite places, Pucon Chile! Visit the Termas Geometricas.
Have you been to Amanpulo, the Pamalican Islands in Cuyo Palawan..Philippines???..It's paradise defined..come and visit and do a feature on it!..
Superb video. Loved it
Gorgeous furniture , beautiful interior ,I loved antiques,Hello Doc,you got a sense of humor ,i loved your films , excellent ,take care.God bless and peace grace 🙏🦋🌸💕🍷
wow so cool everything in that place look old ty for showing this RR :)
Those final shots of the beach are great!
Thank you. It took some efforts to navigate the drone safely through the palm trees :-). Thank you for watching the clip all the way to the end!
Really perfect video, you have covered every corner of the hotel, also music that you use in the video is excellent
You did a great video, thanks.
The Luxury Travel Expert great for excellence
thx
Beautiful Music, Exquisite Videography, Premium Accommodations ... and, yet there’s no one there!
Or maybe I filmed in the early morning when there was nobody around as not to disturb the other guests :-)
the Luxury Travel Expert ... of course! 👍🏻
very nice, thank you for sharing
the property looks very historic,with a lot of old style furniture(antique)...
OMG--just got back from a week in New York City and read your comment that the little red suitcase was damaged beyond repair. RIP Red, you will be missed. Dr. LTE, you must buy another red suitcase, or will the airline replace it? They really should--Red was world famous :-(
6falconsue Oh no!
is it wrong that I noticed the typo in the welcome letter? Amangalla is located in historical Galle Fort a 400 years old Unesco World Heritage site in Southern "cost" in Sri Lanka? shouldn't that be Southern Coast?
Beautiful I can see the appeal of those hotels
omg i need to get rich
lol me too
Feels like home the ambience
God I really really want to be very rich to live casually in hotels like this. It’s stunning! But super duper expensive!!
Is this open now? Can I book for end December 2021?
Duran Duran video Save a Prayer was filmed here.
Beautiful
What is the name of the opening track in epidemicsound.com?
One day you should come to Kerala
My faves : Aman, Banyan Tree & Mandarin Oriental
Another great video. Love it. May I have name of song @ 11:35?
I wish they have more luxury offering in LK, just like they have in dubai and singapore. I feel this would increase the value of the tourist offering.
Nice review I am from Sri Lanka
Great country! I miss it :-)
the Luxury Travel Expert Thanks
Perfection ... the hotel and the video :)
Can you consider adding what you are eating ? I always wonder :)
I revisit your videos all the time. As someone commented on your channel for therapy. I wanted to ask about the pool here. the green tone of the water. Is that treated water? Safe to swim in? Is the color from the make up of the pool?
Yes, the green-tiled pool fits in the decor
I stayed in this hotel in the 90s..it was a right dump then.
It was also in a Duran Duran video, save a prayer I think
Make sure to visit Grand Hotel, Nuwara Eliya
Just curious: I noticed the pool water is green! Is that just the color of the bottom lining of the pool or is the green color perhaps caused by the pool water not having been treated properly/frequently? 😮
The pool is decked with green colored tiles :-)
The room looked amazing but no tv which could be a good or a bad thing, at least they have the library downstairs. The pool area was fabulous- nothing like straight lines to represent the simplistic style of yesteryear instead of a curved/kidney shaped pool. Breakfast especially the eggs bene made me so hungry I had to go make a sandwich...
My 3 favorite hotel brands are Aman, Oberoi and Four Seasons.
Nice hotel. Please don't lose that red luggage
how much is the food?? US money that is sorry
No fans or air conditioning?
This is a hotel for older people. No one under 40 with money would stay here voluntarily.
A couple of comments ... a) it’s very easy to become an Aman “junkie”. All it takes is one stay! b) I heartily agree with your rationale ... I’d rather stay for 2-3 days in a true luxury property than two weeks elsewhere. c) I have a few “favourite hotel brands that I nod to ... Belmond and Four Seasons; primarily because there’s more of them in their portfolio and they proffer consistently high service. In fact, I think that when Four Seasons hires staff, a condition of employment must be that the word “no” is to be stricken from their vocabulary whilst on duty.
Fantastic Forever ☆
Your channel, my lovely ♡

Any noise problems noted in your room, i.e., car traffic noise, noise from any adjacent rooms, etc.?
I stayed in a veranda chamber, located inside the garden. I did not experience any noise problems and slept like a baby :-)
Why is the pool green?
Waletta Medlock it’s lined with green tiles
NENHUM BRASILEIRO?
The pool cabanas are completely out of touch. Doesn’t blend with the history of the property. Grey straight lines are too modern.
Why does the pool appear "algae green" in the majority of the shots and, then "treated blue" in other shots? Yes, I also overstand the pool is tiled in an array of 'green' colourways; hence would lend for the green appearance. But, why is it also blue??????!!!!!
Yes but do they leave the light on for you? 😆😆😆
5 star luxury resort and they use Kia, which is a quite average car brand. Mercedes-Benz S class would be more appropriate.
joshua uses less fuel = environmentally friendly
@@roadweary5252 maybe they should use rickshaws, it saves even more fuel.
joshua very true, but try finding someone to operate it for 2 hours lol
@@roadweary5252 it supposed to be a luxury limo, not a cheap Korean car. Big modern engines have very similar fuel consumption like these cheap Korean cars...
I wish you wouldn't do the first few impressions, it sort of ruins the surprise :(
It's for those that don't feel like watching the whole clip
the Luxury Travel Expert Don't worry about them! They are not true fans!
i like much the piscine place and garner... but inside not much is old... i know is the idea... but i dont like much... is how be 200 years before living there, and i like much the music piano in the video :)
You keep on repeating the sams shots e.g. of the lobby over and over
Myabe because I loved the historic interiors so much :-)
the Luxury Travel Expert Apologies - I love your videos and have been watching for just over a year and I think they are excellent - my only gripe’s been the length of some. I think you may attract more subscribers with videos in the 10 to 20 min range due to people’s time constraints. Even if you just post a summary version of each video I think that would be tremendously helpful.
No need to apologize, John :-). I realize my Soneva clips were quiet long indeed (but that's because the multi-bedroom villas are so massive in space). Remarkably, my longer hotel clips (longer than 45 minutes) are more popular than the shorter ones. Anyway, I try to make most hotel clips around 30 minutes to give a detailed tour of the property (and to make one dream he or she is traveling along with me). I have thought about posting a 'teaser' on Wednesday for each hotel clip I post on Saturday, but have not materialized that idea yet. I do realize that I could attract much more subscriber by making my clips shorter or by showing myself, but I prefer quality above quantity since this is just a (highly enjoyable) hobby :-)
@@luxurytravelexpert you can't please everyone, so.....
The shorter clips are too short!😊
I wanna see St Regis Bali. Do that one 😄👍🏻
HarrLable got married in St Regis Bali .. heaven on Earth :)
BenetClaire That’s amazing! It must have been wonderful! Congrats! 😃👍🏻
