On the edge of Ago Bay, nestled among the wooded hills of Ise-Shima, the ryokan-inspired Amanemu thermal resort invites you to a sanctuary of restful tranquility. Bathe in onsen, traditional Japanese mineral-rich hot springs, hike along ancient pilgrimage trails, and explore the stunning coastline. The architectural design and style of the suites and villas were inspired by traditional Japanese residential culture, while also meeting the needs of today's luxury travelers, as each room has a private onsen bath. From the terrace, you can enjoy the seasonal natural scenery of the garden or the landscape of Ago Bay, where Japan's most beautiful pearls are cultivated.
The magnificent Aman Spa is built around a huge thermal bath fed by the mineral-rich waters of Ise-Shima. It takes a holistic approach, combining Japanese healing practices with nature-inspired therapies from across the Aman world. The surrounding landscape is also exceptionally beautiful. Ise-Shima National Park, home to sacred Shinto shrines, is a paradise for hikers, and the bay itself is home to a unique community of pearl divers and female free divers known as the Ama. Golf enthusiasts can enjoy views of the dramatic bay and play challenging shots across the coastal inlets at the iconic 18-hole Nemu Golf Club.
Nestled in the landscape with views of the bay or gardens, Amanemu's four villas and 24 suites offer elegant simplicity in harmony with nature. Each accommodation features a private onsen, a Japanese hot water bath where you can experience the healing power of nature, while spacious terraces allow you to enjoy the natural surroundings to the fullest in all seasons. Amanemu's luxurious villas are flooded with light and feature natural materials, soothing colors, and woven textile shutters. In addition to an onsen, you can also enjoy your own kitchen and laundry room.
With a mesmerizing view over the surrounding forest to the bay below, Amanemu's all-day restaurant celebrates Japan's culinary heritage alongside a selection of refined international dishes—all with a focus on fresh, local seasonal flavors. Japanese cuisine chef Katsutoshi Kitahara sources exceptional products from Ise-Shima, including the finest Matsusaka Wagyu beef and prized seafood such as lobster and abalone from Ago Bay. At the resort's swimming pool, enjoy Japanese craft beers and original cocktails by lantern light as the sun sinks into the sea. And if you want to be completely undisturbed, arrange for a picturesque picnic in a private cove.
Amanemu is a luxurious thermal resort nestled quietly on the shores of Ago Bay, where Japan's most beautiful pearls are cultivated. Surrounded by the unspoiled nature of Ise-Shima National Park, it guarantees absolute relaxation and rejuvenation.
