Aman Resorts is an ultra-luxury hospitality brand founded in 1988 by Adrian Zecha, with its first property, Amanpuri, opening on the west coast of Phuket, Thailand. The company is headquartered in Zug, Switzerland, and operates approximately 35 hotels and resorts across 20 countries. Aman properties are defined by their deliberately small scale, serene locations, and emphasis on privacy, with most hotels containing fewer than 50 rooms or pavilions. The brand's architectural philosophy prioritizes harmony with the natural landscape, drawing on local materials and indigenous design traditions to create spaces that feel rooted in their surroundings. Each property features dedicated wellness facilities, often incorporating traditional healing practices native to the region. Aman's service model maintains exceptionally high staff-to-guest ratios, enabling deeply personalized attention throughout each stay. The brand has expanded into branded residences, with Aman Residences available at select locations. Aman also operates a skincare line and Aman Fine Fragrance collection. Vladislav Doronin, through his company Doronin Group, acquired the brand in 2014 and has overseen its continued expansion into urban destinations including Tokyo, New York, and Miami. Aman New York, which opened in 2022, marked the brand's first purpose-built urban hotel. Room rates typically start above $1,000 per night, positioning Aman at the highest tier of the global luxury hospitality market.
