What Aman Resorts does

Aman Resorts (legal entity Aman Group Sarl) operates a global portfolio of 35 ultra-luxury hotels and resorts across 20 countries, founded in 1988 by Adrian Zecha with the opening of Amanpuri in Phuket, Thailand. The company is headquartered in Baar, Switzerland with regional offices in London and Hong Kong, is privately held under Chairman and CEO Vlad Doronin, and was valued at approximately $3 billion following a $900 million investment from Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund and Cain International in August 2022, with an additional $360M raised in September 2023 from Alpha Wave Global, Chimera Capital Management, and Mubadala. Aman's product portfolio spans core Aman Hotels & Resorts, the Janu sister brand focused on social connection and wellness, the developing Atma third brand, 1,700+ branded residences in partnership with developers such as Discovery Land Company, Oberoi Realty (I-Ven Realty JV), Eldridge Industries, and VICI Properties, the Aman at Sea cruise division anchored by the Amangati superyacht (launching May 2027), Aman Essentials lifestyle merchandise via shop.aman.com, Aman Interiors design services, and Jet Expeditions private jet itineraries.

Aman serves ultra-high-net-worth individuals — royalty, heads of state, Fortune 500 executives, and billionaire entrepreneurs — through nightly room rates starting above $1,000, branded residences priced $11.69M to over $74M, and yacht charters from $7,700 per night. The go-to-market blends enterprise field sales with dedicated relationship managers, direct-to-consumer booking through aman.com and a 24/7 global reservation team, referral networks among existing high-profile guests, and channel partnerships for branded residences and cruise distribution. Technology infrastructure consists of proprietary reservation, property management, guest relationship management (CRM), and e-commerce platforms with multi-language digital accessibility; the CRM specifically tracks preferences of ultra-high-net-worth guests for personalization across properties.

The business model combines recurring hotel revenue (occupancy-driven nightly rates with seasonal variation) with episodic multi-year revenue from branded residence sales, fixed-price yacht charters, merchandise sales, and wellness/spa services. Geographic expansion is anchored by an active development pipeline through 2030 spanning new resorts in Mexico, Maldives, Texas, Miami Beach, Beverly Hills, Singapore, Niseko, Saudi Arabia, Dubai, and the Dominican Republic, plus new urban hotels and the Atma brand extension. Strategic partnerships with Cruise Saudi (Aman at Sea), Discovery Land Company (Playa Grande), and Oberoi Realty (Mumbai) extend the brand into maritime and real estate verticals without bearing full development risk.
