Aman, a leader in creating tranquil and timeless retreats in some of the world’s most beautiful destinations, has earned a glowing reputation for delivering the best in intuitive service, serenity and seclusion at its properties. Now, the brand proudly unveils the latest addition to its collection of 35 properties: Aman Maldives, a peaceful private island escape in the Vaavu atoll, one of the world’s most awe-inspiring archipelagos.
Nestled among lush islands and powdery white beaches, Aman Maldives will feature a 52-room resort and 16 branded residences, designed by the esteemed Kerry Hill Architects, a longstanding and trusted Aman partner. Positioned in one of the most remote and revered areas of the Maldives, renowned for its exceptional diving, the resort’s architecture is inspired by the simplicity and natural beauty of the region, reflecting the signature white sands and crystalline waters.
With standalone pavilions offering one to three bedrooms, some situated on the main island and others on quiet outlying islets, each pavilion will come with its own private pool. The property will also offer a range of food and beverage venues, including restaurants, a beach club, and intimate private dining spaces, ensuring memorable culinary moments that complement the island experience.
Continuing Aman’s forward-thinking approach to wellness, the resort’s expansive spa will cover 2,638 square metres and will be located on its own island dedicated to health and well-being. The spa will introduce innovative wellness programs, including two private Spa Houses, a signature feature of Aman. Guests will also have access to a dive centre and various watersports to explore the Maldives’ most pristine reefs.
The property will also play host to 16 Aman Residences, ranging from five to 10 bedrooms. These private retreats will provide unparalleled seclusion, with breathtaking sunrise views from their eastern-facing vantage points. Each residence will be situated on its own island with a private beach, a 25-metre pool, and a personal landing jetty while remaining within easy reach of the resort’s main facilities.

Discussing this new addition, the Chairman and CEO of Aman Group remarked, “The introduction of Aman Maldives is a significant milestone for our brand as we bring Aman’s ethos of timeless elegance, unparalleled service and ultimate privacy to the destination for the first time. 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.”
Aman Maldives will become the brand’s 21st destination, joining a growing pipeline of properties, including new developments in Miami, Beverly Hills, Niseko and Bangkok. Construction of Aman Maldives is currently underway, with further updates and an official opening date to be shared soon.
