Aman Group has broken ground on its first hotel and residence development in Dubai, marking a milestone for the brand in one of the world’s fastest-growing cities.
The project, situated on the Jumeirah coastline with direct beach access, will form part of Dubai Peninsula – an waterfront neighbourhood centred on a park, a superyacht marina, retail and dining promenades, and hospitality destinations.
The site spans nine acres and will feature gardens, shaded courtyards, water features and pathways that connect residents and guests to the coastline.

The development has been conceived as an urban retreat, with an emphasis on privacy and the relationship between built space and the natural environment.
“Aman Dubai reflects our continued focus on creating exceptional destinations within the world’s most dynamic cities. Located in a prime position along the Jumeirah coastline, the project brings together both an urban and resort experience. This project is defined by its generosity of space, its relationship to the landscape, and a quiet, enduring architectural language. Within this, the residences are central, and offer a highly private, fully serviced lifestyle, supported by the scale of the global Aman Club and the brand’s uncompromising approach to service. I am very pleased to be working with Mr. Shahab and H&H, who share a deep understanding of design, architecture and quality, and are a leading group within the luxury market,” Vlad Doronin, Chairman and CEO of Aman Group said in a statement.
The development comprises a hotel and a collection of branded private residences. Each residence features living spaces, outdoor terraces with swimming pools, and views of the sea and the Dubai skyline.
Both penthouses within the residential collection have already been sold, reflecting early demand for the project.
At the centre of the development, the Aman Club will span 9,500 square metres – the largest of its kind within the Aman portfolio – and will include a spa, a movement studio, indoor padel courts and outdoor tennis courts, alongside areas reserved for members, residents and their guests.
Residents will also have access to the hotel’s 2,890-square-metre Aman Spa and Wellness centre, as well as a range of dining and lifestyle offerings.
The project has been designed by Kerry Hill Architects, a firm with a long history of collaboration with Aman. The approach draws on materials found in nature, with an emphasis on light, proportion and the relationship between indoor and outdoor spaces. The design takes its cues from both the coastal setting and the broader regional context.
The project is being delivered by H&H, chaired by Shahab Lutfi. “Aman Dubai is conceived as a place of quiet retreat within the city, where simplicity of design, attention to detail and a strong connection to nature define the experience. Dubai Peninsula provides a compelling context for this vision, allowing us to create something both distinctive and enduring. The commencement of works on site marks an important step in bringing this vision to life, with early progress reflecting a shared commitment to precision, quality and a highly considered approach to delivery,” Lutfi added.
