BEST FOR:
This retreats holistic approach to anti-aging and wellness addresses both inner and outer beauty through nutrition, healing therapies and natural products.
THE AMAN VENICE:
As sumptuous and romantic as the city itself, Aman Venice – set in a 16th-century palazzo on the Grand Canal – is home to museum-quality treasures including Tiepolo frescoes, gilded ceilings and centuries-old leather wall coverings. Located in the vibrant Rialto district of San Polo with two private gardens, the hotel houses elegant salons, a ballroom and magnificent dining rooms, as well as a cosy roof terrace and an intimate spa, positioned, almost secretly, at the top of a hidden staircase.
THE FOOD:
The cuisine at Aman Venice combines an elegant simplicity with the rustic heartiness of fresh whole foods. A ripe tomato, freshly caught fish, homemade pasta, naturally fermented balsamic vinegar, basil from the garden – the finest ingredients are combined with grace and dexterity to present nutritious, health-giving cuisine in the guise of fine dining. Working with Susan’s recipes for beautiful skin, Executive Chef Akio Fujita has added his own twist to these wonderful dishes, accompanied by organic wines especially paired by our Sommelier. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are precisely designed to support the body’s natural healing, whilst at the same time feeding the senses.
OTHER HIGHLIGHTS:
Bringing a cultural dimension to Susan’s holistic programme, the retreat includes daily art walks with expert guides, uncovering masterpieces from the Renaissance to the present day. The Unesco-protected city has something for everyone: float by gondola along romantic canals; sip a breakfast cappuccino by a sleepy piazza; travel back in time through the city’s churches – Venice can’t help but enchant. Aman Venice lies within easy reach of the Rialto Bridge, the Church of San Giacomo di Rialto, the Campo San Polo, the House of Goldoni, the Church of San Rocco and the Scuola Grande di San Rocco. Other world-renowned sites just a short boat-ride away include Saint Mark’s Basilica and Piazza San Marco.
