Aman has launched the STUDIO NvS-designed Amankila Residences to market. Master-planned for Bali’s Karangasem Regency, the 11 luxury homes are a modern interpretation of the language of the neighbouring resort, drawing inspiration from local village planning and the hotel’s enduring architectural design. The steep terrain affords each villa sweeping views of the Lombok Strait, with a terrace-fronting infinity pool that merges with the horizon echoing Amankila’s iconic tiered pool. Thatch-roofed pavilions step across the hillside, connected by open walkways and a natural stone plinth. STUDIO NvS was engaged by Aman to master plan the development and design the architecture and interiors of four distinct villa types. Construction will begin in 2025.

As everything begins to flourish and rivers gradually fill up, farmers in the Nujiang Canyon bend over in the terraced fields, planting rice seedlings and nurturing hopes of a bountiful harvest. At this great season, Songtsam Bingzhongluo Lodge has commenced its trial operation in Yunnan.

The completion of Songtsam Bingzhongluo Lodge marks the official fulfillment of Songtsam's comprehensive layout in the Three Parallel Rivers region. In the future, it will offer Songtsam guests a richer travel experience.

Construction has begun on our luxury river lodge for Songtsam near the Burmese border. Designed as both a standalone resort and a waypoint on a driving tour around Yunnan, the property of 7500m2 houses 48 generously sized guest rooms placed to enjoy views across the river to mountains.

We’re delighted for our clients at Songtsam who have again been recognised in the Conde Nast Traveler Gold Awards. Songtsam Shangri-la Linka has been named one of the top ten hotels in China, 2022! We are currently working on a master plan for the hotel, increasing the number of guest rooms at the iconic property and introducing new guest experiences along the Tea Horse Trail.

We’ve completed the developed design for luxury river lodge near the Burmese border, in collaboration with Huasen Design Institute from Kunming. Designed as both a standalone resort and a waypoint on a driving tour around Yunnan, the property of 7500m2 houses 48 generously sized guest rooms placed to enjoy views across the river to mountains.

Planning permission has been granted for our luxury river lodge near the Burmese border, designed as both a standalone resort and a waypoint on a driving tour around Yunnan.
