- **Business Traveller Awards 2026 Winner – Best Resort Brand in the World**

The name Aman is derived from the Sanskrit word for “peace”, so it’s fair to say that evoking a sense of serenity has been central to the group’s DNA since the opening of its debut property, Amanpuri, in 1988. Nearly four decades later, a purposefully restrained approach to expansion means there are still only 36 Aman properties across the world.

Fifteen of them are near to or within UNESCO-protected sites, though otherworldly settings are a mainstay of so many Aman addresses, from the desert vistas that surround Utah’s Amangiri to the turquoise waters that ring Amanpulo. Vast accommodations, exceptional wellness offerings and above-and-beyond service all come as standard, as Aman unabashedly targets the world’s wealthiest travellers.
