Luxury resort group Aman is all set to bring two resorts and branded residences to Saudi Arabia in partnership with Diriyah Company – Aman Wadi Safar and Janu Diriyah. Aman Wadi Safar, expected to open in 2026, will be located in the desert near Riyadh. The 78-room hotel will also offer a collection of up to 34 Aman-branded Residences, and expansive amenities, including a vast Aman Spa and an array of dining experiences. Designed by Denniston Architects, the firm behind the successful Aman New York, the hotel will draw inspiration from its natural environment and traditional Najdi design elements, to embrace the values of a community lifestyle.
The resort setting will weave amongst the wadis and plateaus of the site, reinforcing the connection between the property and its otherworldly desert location. Also slated for a 2026 opening, Aman’s sister-brand Janu will open Janu Diriyah within close proximity to the UNESCO Heritage Site of At-Turaif. Comprising 120 hotel rooms and a spa, as part of the Janu Wellness offering, the property will include a multitude of dining and experiences. Aman Group has already announced two Aman properties in AlUla, along wih Janu AlUla. Also, in the works is Project Sama – the brand’s first luxury motor yacht being developed in partnership with Cruise Saudi, which will offer on-the-water voyages in the Red Sea, as well as in the Mediterranean.
