Maria Sharapova, Global Aman Wellness Ambassador, Launches a Retreat Experience at Amanzoe 
A revolutionary three-night workshop in the Peloponnese organized and hosted by Maria Sharapova from September 23 to September 26. 

Maria Sharapova, a tennis legend and Aman Global health Ambassador, will conduct a personalized health retreat in Amanzoe, Greece. The transformational three-night programme, which runs from September 23 to 26, 2024, will focus on building resilience through a combination of physical challenges and mental endurance skills. 

The retreat, set among the olive orchards and Aegean panoramas of Amanzoe’s hilltop site, is intended to help participants establish a solid mental foundation, find emotional balance, and provide them with the tools they need to navigate the stresses of daily life. 

Maria built a legendary tennis career by honing the relationship between mindset and execution. Incorporating a holistic approach to mind and body performance led her to become a champion, and she brings this unique perspective and skillset to the retreat at Amanzoe. 

‘Over many years, I learned how to build a phenomenal foundation of strength, resilience, focus and determination. It was vital to success,” says Maria. 

“I am excited to take Amanzoe’s guests through a truly holistic experience that I’ve developed, reflecting the approach I finetuned over 20 years to achieve elite performance. A strong body and strong mind are something we should all strive for and between Aman’s unparalleled wellness expertise and mine, we’re eager to bring this retreat to life.’ 

Led by Maria and Amanzoe’s expert wellness team, against the serene backdrop of the Greek countryside, the programme is divided into three parts: 

Understanding Mental Resilience 

After an introduction from Maria and lunch, the first day starts with a guided meditation, focussed on cultivating inner strength and acceptance. A group discussion with Maria on her journey to towards mental resilience and approach to challenges follows, before a Hamman treatment or Anatripsis (soft tissue) therapy to cleanse and detoxify the body and mind.

Enjoying a Coffee Plantation Adventure at Kampoeng Kopi Banaran

Kampoeng Kopi Banaran, a captivating agro-tourism destination nestled in the coffee plantations of Semarang Regency, is attracting an increasing number of visitors. This 39.11-hectare estate is renowned for its robusta coffee plants and offers a unique adventure experience for nature enthusiasts.

Situated at an altitude of 480 to 600 meters above sea level, the plantation is characterized by its hilly terrain and steep paths, perfect for adventurous exploration. On November 23, 2021, members of the Himpunan Anak Media (HAM) Jakarta embarked on an exciting journey through this picturesque landscape.

The exploration began with a thrilling jeep tour through the narrow asphalt roads that snake between the coffee plants. Unfortunately, the coffee harvest had already ended, so the visitors missed the sight of ripe, red coffee cherries. However, the lush shade trees, known as lamtoro, provided a cool and refreshing atmosphere.

Recent rains had left the stone paths slick, posing a challenge for some of the jeeps on the steep climbs. Nevertheless, the experienced drivers managed the tricky terrain with ease, often collaborating to tow vehicles when necessary. This gave passengers ample opportunity to capture stunning photos against the backdrop of the verdant landscape.

Despite the bumpy ride, passengers enjoyed the journey as the skilled drivers shared insights into the coffee harvesting process, from picking the beans to gathering them at the collection shelters. From certain vantage points along the 5-kilometer route, visitors could catch glimpses of Rawa Pening in the distance. During the coffee flowering season, the air is filled with the enchanting fragrance of coffee blossoms.

Jember’s World-Class Cigars

Jember’s World-Class Cigars

In the town of Jember, Indonesia, Boss Image Nusantara (BIN) Cigar is crafting cigars that have gained international recognition. The factory is filled with the warm aroma of tobacco, a testament to the intricate process that each leaf undergoes before becoming a finely wrapped cigar. The temperature inside the factory is maintained meticulously, as it is crucial for preparing the tobacco leaves used for cigar wrapping.

“Right now, we are in the stage of opening fermentation,” explains Febri Ananta Kahar, CEO of BIN Cigar. “There will be another fermentation process that lasts between two weeks and a month. Then, we move to sizing and sorting, where we separate defective leaves based on color, quality, and detail.”

BIN Cigar began as a center for developing the local tobacco variety known as Besuki Na-Oogst (BNO), with only about 10% of their leaves meeting the stringent requirements for wrappers. Every stage in the production is manual, requiring skilled labor to ensure the high quality of the final product.

A Workforce of Tradition

What sets BIN Cigar apart is its predominantly female workforce. This tradition has been maintained for generations. According to Febri, women bring a unique attention to detail and consistency that is crucial for cigar production. “Women are consistent and highly meticulous. Unlike men, who may not finish a task in two hours, women can sit, be consistent, and work carefully for hours,” Febri notes.

He emphasizes the importance of women in the industry, adding, “Around 1,500 people work here today, continuing the legacy of their parents. They work according to targets, focus intently, and understand precisely what needs to be done. We, in turn, need to understand their needs,” he says.

Innovation and Imitation

The company is renowned for its innovative methods, particularly in replicating the flavors of world-famous Cuban cigars. BIN Cigar currently exports to 15 countries under 24 different brands. The company has developed a method they call “observe, imitate, and modify,” allowing them to replicate almost every aspect of Cuban cigars, from aroma to taste.

Set in the stunning natural beauty of the Utah desert, this summer, Amangiri will host an exclusive Longevity Powered by Nature Retreat with accomplished meditation master and internationally renowned Buddhist monk, Geshe Yong Dong. 

From 7-10 June, the four-day retreat will offer an antidote to the stress of daily life by opening the senses to the natural world.

Additionally, evening sessions such as the Tibetan Magic Movement, which incorporates sacred sounds into breathwork and chants to relieve stress and trauma, promote a heightened awareness of circadian rhythms under the glowing heavens. Offering silence and minimal light pollution, these sessions will take place at Amangiri’s unique outdoor Thai Pavilions and Step Pool, the perfect location for Meditative Stargazing.
