Aman expands to the Maldives with exclusive resort and residences in Vaavu Atoll

26 September, 2024

Aman Hotels has announced the launch of Aman Maldives, marking the 21st addition to the luxury brand’s portfolio of global destinations. Aman Maldives is a serene private island retreat located in the Vaavu Atoll, one of the world’s most stunning archipelagos.

Set within lush green islands and pristine white sand beauches, Aman Maldives will feature a 52-key resort and 16 branded residences, designed by renowned Aman collaborator Kerry Hill Architects. Known for its exceptional diving opportunities, this secluded part of the Maldives inspires the resort’s design, which embraces the natural beauty of the coralline beaches and crystal-clear turquoise waters for which the region is famed.

The resort will offer standalone pavilions, ranging from one to three bedrooms, with some located on the main island and others on more peaceful extensions. Each pavilion will include a private pool. Guests will also enjoy a variety of dining options, including restaurant venues, a beach club, and several private dining locations that promise exceptional culinary experiences aligned with the island lifestyle.

Embodying the brand’s pioneering approach to wellness, Aman Maldives’ expansive spa facilities will span 2,638 square meters. 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 will also feature a dive centre and watersport activities, for exploring the country’s most pristine reefs.

Aman's property in Maldives will also be home to 16 Aman Residences, ranging from five to ten bedrooms, each offering unparalleled privacy and spectacular sunrise views from their eastern-facing vantage points. Each residence will be set on its own private islet, complete with a 25-meter swimming pool, personal landing jetty, and a private beach, all within close proximity to the main resort amenities.

Commenting on this exciting new venture, Vlad Doronin, Chairman and CEO of Aman Group, said, “The introduction of Aman Maldives marks a significant milestone for our brand as we bring Aman’s ethos of timeless elegance, unparalleled service, and ultimate privacy to this destination for the first time. Meeting the demand from our guests for a presence in the Maldives has long been part of our growth strategy and underscores our commitment to offering unique and transformative experiences in the world’s most extraordinary locations. Having secured a site in one of the most exclusive and secluded areas of the country, I am thrilled to bring Aman’s renowned lifestyle and ultra-luxury experience to this destination.”

Aman Maldives will be the brand’s 21st destination, joining properties in Beverly Hills, Niseko, Bangkok, and more in a strong pipeline of upcoming openings. Construction is currently underway, with additional details and the official opening date to be announced soon.
