Aman Resorts, renowned for their unique approach towards relaxation and tranquility, will be making their debut in the UAE with the launch of Aman Dubai.
Designed by Kerry Hill Architects, the new property will be located in a prime spot on Jumeirah Beach, boasting unobstructed views of the rich coastal surrounds, blue waters, and the city’s skyline. Kerry Hill Architects has designed a number of other Aman properties, including the Aman Tokyo, Aman Niseko, and Aman Kyoto – which has been described as a masterpiece – as well as the Amanyangyun in Shanghai. The design firm is known to take inspiration from a resort’s surroundings, seamlessly weaving in natural materials with the Aman brand’s ultra-luxurious, minimal and contemporary aesthetic. Aman Dubai will follow suit, featuring local stone in a palette of desert tones, while connecting subterranean spaces and courtyards to nine acres of lush green gardens that take guests to the beach and private living spaces.
Aman Resorts was founded by Indonesian Adrian Zecha in 1998, and currently has 34 properties in 20 countries. The new Aman Dubai project is owned by Bright Start, a prestigious real estate investment company with a diverse offering of residential developments, commercial venues, and high-end hospitality projects among its curated portfolio of real estate assets. The company will be collaborating closely with Aman on the development of the new project, which will be led by leading real estate developer H&H Development.
Speaking about the pipeline and his vision for growth, Vlad Doronin, chairman and CEO of Aman, said: “Dubai stands as a global city, leading the charge in dynamic evolution, offering an array of experiences for both visitors and residents alike. Responding to the requests from Aman guests for our presence in Dubai has long been part of my growth vision. Securing the optimal site was paramount to ensure the delivery of our unparallelled service and authentic experiences, for which we are world-renowned. I am delighted that we have collaborated with Bright Start who have a profound understanding of this market, to bring to life the essence of Aman in this exceptional location.”
The new property will be an all-suite resort, comprising several hand-picked restaurants, an extensive Aman Spa that will stretch over 2,000 sqm, an Aman Club, and a limited number of Aman branded residences. It will be located in a prime location in Jumeirah 2, on the Jumeirah Beach strip between the Four Seasons Resort Dubai and the soon-to-open Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab.
“We are thrilled to bring the first Aman to Dubai,” said Shahab Lutfi, CEO of Bright Start. “Aman is a leading lifestyle brand inspired by providing a seamless level of service and experience that is known worldwide. The brand’s vision aligns with our strategy to bring exceptional experiences to the city.
“Aman epitomises elevated living with the azure expanse of the sea and the vastness of the sky, and residents will be immersed in a world where every detail is meticulously curated. As part of our innovative approach to beachfront development, Aman represents a harmonious synthesis of nature, art, and luxury, inviting visitors and residents alike to embark on a journey of unparalleled indulgence and sophistication,” he continues.
