More for "Aman junkies"....

The news that has excited our Aman junkies: a brand new Aman resort opens in a few days time, the third in Europe. Select was one of the few tour operators that were offered a preview of Amanzoe, so we have already put up a Select travel blog on this new Grecian charmer. Maybe it is obvious, but the term "Aman junkie" was coined for those who want only one holiday “fix” – an Aman resort.

We have wonderful partnerships with many of the world's most exclusive hotels, and one of our very special partners is Amanresorts. We offer 22 Aman properties in our Select Collection, all the last word in chic charm and exclusivity.

Jiwan from another World

Some time ago we had a special man called Jiwan with us at Select Collection. Jiwan was working as a butler in Bhutan. His biggest dream in life was to travel to another country. It took us much time and effort but we eventually managed to get both work and residence permits and Jiwan was with us for almost a year. During his time in office, he worked as butler and welcoming our customers in his native Bhutanese costume.

To travel to the kingdom of Bhutan, which lies between China and India, is like coming to another world. It is one of the most closed societies in the world and development has been slow. As an example, it was only about a decade ago they started using the Internet in Bhutan. Travel to Bhutan is expensive because it wants to spare itself from mass tourism. For those who still have the opportunity, it is a fantastic experience to travel to the country where time has stood still.
