Aman is in expansion mode, unveiling a collection of new sanctuaries and branded residences that stretch from Baja’s desert coast to the Maldives’ lagoons and the game reserves of southern Africa. True to the brand’s DNA, each project is designed as a secluded refuge that still feels like belonging – low‑key architecture, high‑touch service and locations that sit right on the edge of wild nature.
Amanvari, Mexico – Desert, Sea and Estuary on the Sea of Cortés
Amanvari marks Aman’s debut in Mexico, tucked away on the East Cape of Baja California where beachfront, desert and estuary meet along the Sea of Cortés.
- The resort’s elevated casitas overlook the sea and the Sierra de la Laguna mountains, blending indoor–outdoor living with organic, contemporary design.
- Aman Residences will follow, with villas positioned on the sand, above the shoreline or facing a Robert Trent Jones II‑designed golf course, each with private pools and courtyards.
It’s pitched as a peaceful escape and private oasis, ideal for guests and owners who want Baja’s wildness without sacrificing Aman‑level calm.
Aman Dubai & Aman Singapore – Urban Sanctuaries in Global Cities
In the city space, Aman is doubling down on vertical sanctuaries.
- Aman Dubai will sit on the Jumeirah Peninsula, blending Arabian hospitality with minimalist Aman design, private beach access and ultra‑discreet residences in one of the city’s most prestigious enclaves.
- Aman Singapore will crown The Skywaters development at the convergence of the CBD, Marina Bay and the future Greater Southern Waterfront, offering some of the largest suites in the city, a full‑floor Aman Spa with infinity pool and a mix of hotel rooms, residences and private club spaces.
Both are aimed at travellers who want tropical serenity and spa‑level wellness but still need to plug into global business and culture.
Amancaya, Bahamas & Aman Maldives – Private Island Living
For true island seclusion, Aman is developing two water‑wrapped hideaways.
- Amancaya in The Bahamas spans two private cays within an untouched archipelago, with three‑ to five‑bedroom residences designed for total privacy, sea views and direct beach access.
- Aman Maldives offers the rare chance to own a home on a private Maldivian island, with villas featuring a 25‑metre pool and personal jetty, effectively turning the atoll into your own back‑of‑house Aman resort.
Both projects lean into Aman’s residential strategy: few keys, big plots, minimal visual noise and intensive, bespoke service.
Aman Karingani, Mozambique – First African Safari Retreat
Perhaps the boldest step is Aman Karingani, the brand’s first safari destination in Africa, set within 150,000 hectares of Karingani Game Reserve in southern Mozambique, bordering South Africa’s Kruger National Park.
- The retreat will feature around 30 standalone pavilions, each with a private pool and wide decks looking over the plains.
- A limited set of branded residences will sit alongside a central lodge with pool, Aman restaurant concepts and a wellness‑led spa.
Analysts expect Karingani to position Mozambique firmly on the map for ultra‑luxury, conservation‑minded safari travel, pairing big‑game viewing with A‑grade privacy.
Saudi Arabia & Beyond: AlUla and Amansamar
Aman is also deepening its footprint in Saudi Arabia, in line with the Kingdom’s push into high‑end, culture‑driven tourism.
- A forthcoming project in AlUla will offer a rare, low‑impact way to experience the region’s canyon landscapes, Nabataean tombs and stargazing, with design that folds into the rock rather than dominating it.
- Amansamar in Wadi Safar, Riyadh will be a limited collection of desert residences, blending Aman’s minimalism with Saudi heritage, plus an Aman Spa, racquet club, kids’ club and access to nearby golf, polo and equestrian facilities.
These developments extend Aman’s long‑running approach: go where others aren’t, build small, and let landscape and culture lead the story.
Conclusion
In other words, Aman’s next chapter isn’t about scaling up so much as zooming in: on wilder coastlines, quieter cities, deeper deserts and more meaningful ways to belong to a place – whether for a week or a lifetime. For travellers and prospective owners, the real question now isn’t if there’s an Aman that fits your idea of sanctuary, but which of these new frontiers you want to claim as your own.
