How to play in Venice

The luxurious and comfortable palace-style hotel Aman Venice is located on the iconic Grand Canal of the water city, and it is a secluded retreat suitable for all seasons. A series of new experiences and cultural activities provide more reasons for a trip to Venice this summer. Inspired by the romantic essence of the city, Aman Venice now offers a two-hour perfume olfactory workshop tailored by local perfumers. Travel through the long river of time, uncover the ancient process of perfume making, and then mix carefully selected scents to create your own unique custom perfume. Continuing this perfume experience, the mixologist at Aman Venice will create a cocktail that complements the subtle fragrance of your custom perfume. This season also adds a Secret Island Tour, led by local Venetian guides, to explore the lesser-known islands and the culture of the floating city. To celebrate the 60th Venice Biennale, which will be held in Venice from April 20, 2024, to November 24, 2024, Aman Venice has launched the Venice Artisan Craftsmen Tour. It takes you to visit some of the oldest and most famous workshops in the city, to catch a glimpse of the rarely seen elegance of the Venetian art world. In a three-hour private experience, learn about the history of traditional Venetian craftsmanship, witness the exquisite hand-sewing skills of Bevilacqua textile workers, and the craftsmanship of Orsoni artisans hand-cutting mosaics at one of the only remaining glass factories in Venice. Traditionally, Italians always reserve Sundays for la dolce far niente (meaning 'the art of doing nothing'). This summer, under the 16th-century crystal chandeliers of the Arva restaurant, you can leisurely enjoy a three-course Italian delicious brunch and a 60-minute massage at the spa center, leisurely experiencing a slow-paced day.
