Aman recently announced Aman Maldives, a blissful private island oasis in the Vavuu atoll, one of the most spectacular archipelagos on Earth. It will be the brand’s 21st destination and the latest addition to its 35-strong collection. The opening date has not yet been announced.
A paradise of verdant green islands and white sands, Aman Maldives will feature a 52 key resort and 16 branded residences, designed by longtime Aman collaborator Kerry Hill Architects. As one of the most secluded and exclusive parts of the Maldives, known for its exceptional diving, the design and architecture embraces the simplicity and beauty of the environment, taking inspiration from the white coralline beaches and clear turquoise waters for which the destination is so renowned.
With standalone pavilions ranging from one to three bedrooms, some located on the main resort island and others on its tranquil extensions, each will include a private pool. In addition, the property will enjoy a variety of restaurant venues, beach club, and several private dining locations promising exceptional culinary encounters that complement island living.
Embodying the brand’s pioneering approach to wellness, Aman Maldives’ expansive spa facilities will span 8,655 square feet. Situated on its own island, dedicated to wellbeing, the spa will bring new experiences in health and rejuvenation to the destination including two private Spa Houses, a signature of Aman. The property also will feature a dive center and watersport activities, for exploring the country’s most pristine reefs.
Home to 16 Aman Residences, ranging from five to 10 bedrooms, Aman Maldives also provides personal enclaves of seclusion and an unparalleled sunrise experience from their far eastern vantage point, where the sun first graces the horizon. With each residence set on its own islet complete with a private beach, the properties will feature an 82-foot swimming pool and personal landing jetty, while still being in close proximity to the main resort’s amenities.
“The introduction of Aman Maldives is a significant milestone for our brand as we bring Aman’s ethos of timeless elegance, unparallelled service, and ultimate privacy to the destination for the first time,” says Vladislav Doronin, chairman and CEO of Aman Group. “Responding to the request from Aman guests, for our presence in the Maldives, has long been part of our growth strategy and reinforces the brand’s dedication to providing unique and transformative experiences in the world’s most exceptional locations. Having secured a site in the most exclusive and secluded parts of the country, I’m delighted to bring Aman’s renowned lifestyle and ultra-luxury way of living to the destination.”
The arrival of Aman Maldives’ will take the brand’s presence to 21 destinations and joins Beverly Hills, Niseko, and Bangkok, among others, in a robust pipeline of forthcoming properties.
