Amangati Floats Out: Reservations Open for the Largest Spa Ever Built Into a Yacht
Aman at Sea's Amangati has completed float-out, a construction milestone that puts the yacht on track for delivery, and reservations are now open for two 2027 seasons: a Mediterranean maiden season beginning May 2027 and a newly added Autumn 2027 Caribbean season. The draw is the 740-square-meter Aman Spa — eight ocean-facing treatment rooms with private terraces and whirlpools, plus hammam, banya, and a dedicated Medi Spa, making it the largest spa footprint ever built into a luxury yacht. Guest capacity tops out at 94, so inventory is tight from the start. For advisors, this is an early-mover window rather than a routine ship-spa refresh: booking now, well ahead of the maiden season, secures placement in a genuinely new category of dedicated onboard wellness real estate, not an incremental add-on to an existing cruise spa program.

Health-Tech Capital Is Arming Clients With Data Before They Ever Check In
Three unrelated consumer-health stories landed together and point the same direction. Function Health closed $450M in growth financing from General Catalyst. Swiss preventive-health startup Ahead Health raised €8.7M and launched in Germany and the Netherlands. And wearable-maker Ultrahuman reworked its Emerald device to swap raw dashboards for AI-driven coaching. None of these are travel products, but they feed the same demand curve longevity programs — SHA Wellness, Clinique La Prairie, Lanserhof — are already riding: guests who arrive with biomarker histories and expect a retreat's medical team to build on that data rather than start from zero. For advisors booking longevity stays, this is a practical cue to ask operators directly how they ingest outside diagnostics and wearable data. It's fast becoming a real differentiator between programs, not a marginal amenity.
