October 15th 2025, At the official MICHELIN Key 2025 announcement held on October 8, 2025, the Michelin Guide unveiled its global list of distinguished hotels and resorts for the first time — marking a new chapter in the brand’s storied legacy. After more than a century of celebrating restaurants through the Michelin Star system, the Guide now extends its recognition to the world of hotels and travel.
Among this year’s honourees, Amanoi, an Aman resort nestled within the pristine landscapes of Nui Chua National Park overlooking Vinh Hy Bay, has been awarded the highest distinction of Three Michelin Keys. This honour celebrates properties that offer exceptional stays where architecture, design, service and the spirit of hospitality come together in perfect harmony.
Alongside Capella Hanoi, Amanoi is one of only two hotels in Vietnam to be awarded with Three Keys, and is the only remote Vietnamese resort to receive this esteemed recognition. This Three Michelin Key recognition for Amanoi is not only a symbol of excellence but a celebration of community, dedication and shared purpose — a reflection of the harmony between the people, place and passion that defines the growing community of Nui Chua and Vinh Hy Bay. It is a tribute to the people whose craftsmanship, sincerity and quiet dedication has shaped Amanoi over the years since opening in 2013.
Ms. Joy Arpornrat Kuekthong, a member from the Amanoi Executive Committee says, “It is through the dedication of our team, the guidance of our public partners, and the trust of our guests that Amanoi continues to excel.”
Beyond Amanoi, several Aman properties worldwide — including Amanpuri, Aman Venice, Amangiri, Amanjiwo, Aman New York, and Amanemu — were also honoured with the Three Michelin Key distinction, reaffirming Aman’s enduring commitment to excellence in hospitality.
ABOUT AMAN
Aman was founded in 1988 with the vision of building a collection of intimate retreats with the unassuming, warm hospitality of a gracious private home. The first, Amanpuri (place of peace), in Phuket, Thailand, introduced the concept and, since then, Aman has grown to encompass 36 exquisitely serene hotels, resorts and branded residences, ranging from the urban to the remote, in 20 destinations across the globe. Aman has a robust pipeline of future projects under construction.
In recent years, Aman Group has grown to offer its coveted lifestyle beyond the parameters of its havens including Aman Skincare (2018), supplement range Sva (2020), Aman Fine Fragrance (2020), ready-to-wear collection The Essentials by Aman (2021), performance skincare line Aman Essential Skin (2023) and Aman Interiors (2023) offering bespoke designed furniture items inspired by the world of Aman.
With innovation a cornerstone of the brand’s philosophy, in 2020 Aman introduced a new hotel brand, Janu – meaning ‘soul’ in Sanskrit. Janu offers a unique take on hospitality where genuine human interaction, playful expression and social wellness are at the core of the experience. Janu aims to bring balance to the head and heart and rekindle the soul. In March 2024, Janu’s inaugural hotel, Janu Tokyo, opened its doors and several forthcoming Janu hotels are already in development.
