Ise Peninsula, Japan

Highlights

Amanemu perfectly encapsulates Japanese elegant simplicity in design and offers guests a peaceful retreat from the county’s more famous urban centres.
Located in Ise Shima National Park on the shores of Ago Bay, the retreat makes for a relaxing finish to an exciting adventure around Japan.
Taking inspiration from traditional ryokan rituals, guests can enjoy hot-spring bathing in the area’s mineral-rich waters.
Ago Bay is home to the Ama female freedivers who dive for shellfish. Guests can enjoy a unique encounter with the divers and sample some exquisite local seafood.

Set in spectacular scenery, Amanemu offers an authentic taste of Japan's rural beauty and traditional Japanese hospitality. Located at the tip of the Osaki Peninsula, Amanemu is surrounded by beautiful coastline and overlooks the 'Bay of Pearls', known as such due to its heritage as the first place in the world to have produced cultured pearls.

This luxurious resort beautifully reflects and compliments its surroundings, combining traditional Japanese ryokan design with contemporary elegance throughout its selection of stunning suites and private villas. All of the rooms will come with their own private onsen facilities and spacious terraces with calming views over Ago Bay.

The resort's restaurant provides the delicious and delicate flavours of Japanese cuisine and is heavily influenced by the area's gourmet heritage with Shima, once being the breadbasket for the ancient Imperial Court. Not only will taste buds be indulged here but Amanemu also boasts a fantastic Aman Spa with two expansive onsen bathing pavilions, a watsu pool and four treatment rooms.

Ise Shima National Park is not only famous for its stark beauty but for the natural hot springs, referred to locally as onsen, that flow through it. Amanemu takes full advantage of this and provides a completely holistic experience. This paired with the incredible Aman service and traditional Omotenashi (traditional Japanese hospitality) makes Amanemu a truly spectacular property.
