Amanyangyun Shanghai: 35 Restored Villas & Suites in Nature
Tucked just beyond Shanghai’s pulse, Amanyangyun feels like a portal to a quieter world. The resort’s 35 residences—comprised of antique Ming and Qing Dynasty villas and tranquil forest-framed suites—bring cultural preservation, sustainability, and modern indulgence into elegant harmony.
Part of the globally celebrated Aman Hotels & Resorts, Amanyangyun carries the brand’s philosophy of immersive luxury with reverence for place. Resting on 140 hectares of reforested land, the resort is a deeply personal ode to ancient architecture, local rituals, and the natural rhythms of the landscape.

Restored Legacies and Modern Sanctuaries
The Antique Villas at Amanyangyun aren’t just inspired by history—they are history. Painstakingly relocated from Jiangxi province, these four-bedroom homes with courtyards and private pools embody centuries of craftsmanship. Stepping into them is like walking into a timeless story, where every stone and beam holds meaning.
For those drawn to a contemporary aesthetic, the Suites and Pavilions offer a peaceful contrast—expansive spaces of clean lines, soft wood tones, and floor-to-ceiling glass, designed to mirror the calming forest views outside. It’s a setting where modern design gently surrenders to nature’s presence.
A Deeper Journey Through Holistic Wellness
The Aman Spa at Amanyangyun is a full-circle wellness destination, where physical rejuvenation is rooted in ancient tradition. Inside the expansive spa complex, guests discover hydrotherapy, Turkish hammams, and traditional Chinese healing therapies curated into bespoke wellness journeys.
Sessions begin with intention and end in stillness—often complemented by forest meditation or private herbal baths. This is where body and mind realign, not just through technique but through atmosphere and soul.
Gastronomy Grown with Intention
Dining at Amanyangyun is a celebration of time, season, and place. Whether it’s Arva’s lakeside Italian fare, a garden-sourced meal in the Chinese restaurant, or afternoon tea drifting above tranquil waters, each moment is crafted to connect you more deeply to the land and its stories.
Guests can join chefs on guided tours of the 200-square-metre organic garden, where the journey of every ingredient—from soil to plate—is part of the culinary narrative.
Culture Preserved, Shared, and Lived
At the heart of Amanyangyun lies Nan Shufang, a serene cultural retreat inspired by the traditional scholar’s studio. Within its quiet halls, guests explore tea ceremonies, calligraphy, ancient music, and meditation—each practice acting as an invitation to rediscover mindfulness and meaning.
For younger guests, the Cultural Discovery Centre offers thoughtful, hands-on learning experiences rooted in Chinese culture, from traditional crafts to storytelling and nature-based play.
And beyond the walls of the villas, forest trails and lake paths beckon with their own kind of wisdom—inviting exploration by bike, foot, or even with a beautifully prepared picnic beneath the trees.
Why This Sanctuary Is Worth Experiencing
Amanyangyun offers a rare blend: cultural depth, restored beauty, and soulful quiet—all just outside one of Asia’s most dynamic cities. It is both a retreat and a revival, inviting you to breathe more deeply, move more slowly, and reconnect—with nature, with tradition, and with yourself.
Whether you’re drawn to wellness, cuisine, architecture, or cultural exploration, this is where meaningful luxury resides—not in excess, but in elegance, story, and stillness.
