Destination: Niseko | Private Client Luxury Travel

Year round destination

Niseko and the Annupuri Range are one of Japan’s most popular holiday destinations, famed for powder snow, mountainous terrain and winter woods. Always prized for its ski resorts, the area has more recently become known as a family-friendly, year-round destination. Summer activities include golf, cycling, mountain biking and fly fishing. Hokkaido, Japan’s second largest island, is surrounded by the Sea of Japan, the Sea of Okhotsk and the Pacific Ocean.

AMAN NISEKO
Slated to open in 2023

High on the slopes of Mount Moiwa, under the watchful eye of Mount Yotei, lies Aman’s fourth Japan property, Aman Niseko. The resort provides the perfect base for skiing and snowboarding in Hokkaido’s powder-rich winters, as well as hiking, mountain biking and river rafting in the warmer months. Designed by the late Kerry Hill, Aman Niseko’s style is clean and contemporary, with subtle nods to the traditional motifs of the Ainu, Hokkaido’s indigenous community. The 30 suites offer sweeping mountain views, while the main pavilion houses communal spaces such as a living room, two restaurants (plus a private dining space), a bar, whiskey and cigar lounge, library, ski retail area and lockers, a boutique, as well as a gallery. Wellness facilities include a thermal spa, indoor and outdoor onsen (hot spring bathings pools, which are a staple of Japanese culture and a signature experience in Niseko), Finnish saunas, Watsu chambers, cold plunge pools, steam rooms, hammams and a range of “experience showers.”
