New Aman Hotels Opening in 2026 and 2027: What to Expect

Aman is in the middle of the largest expansion in its 38-year history. Roughly a dozen properties are under construction, and the run of new openings starts in spring 2026 and continues densely through 2027. The short answer to "what new Amans are opening soon" is this: a Mexico debut and a Wyoming revival in 2026, followed in 2027 by a Hokkaido ski retreat, two American city hotels, a first Dubai resort, and the brand's inaugural yacht.
For anyone who plans a year or two out, that timeline matters. The best suites at a new Aman are often committed before the property opens, and several of these have only a few dozen keys to sell. Here is the near-term roster — where each one sits, what sets it apart, and what guests can expect when the doors open.
The 2026 openings: a Baja debut and a Wyoming homecoming
Amanvari — Baja California Sur, Mexico (spring 2026)
Amanvari is Aman's first property in Mexico, and its first anywhere in Latin America, opening in spring 2026 on the East Cape of Baja California Sur. The site is unusual even by Aman standards: three landscapes — beach, desert, and estuary — meet along a quiet stretch of the Sea of Cortés, with the Sierra de la Laguna mountains rising behind.
It is also small. Just 18 casitas, most set on elevated ground for long water views, a few placed directly on the sand or along the estuary. Dining runs to four venues — Sesui for Japanese, Arva for Italian (a name Aman regulars will recognize from the brand's other resorts), Luma for open-fire coastal cooking, and a lounge for cocktails. The Aman Spa has six treatment rooms, two Hydro Houses with banya and hammam, and a contemporary temazcal, the traditional Mesoamerican sweat lodge.
Guests can expect the wider Costa Palmas estate as their playground: 1,500 acres with organic orchards, three miles of genuinely swimmable shoreline, a marina, and a Robert Trent Jones II golf course. For travelers who have done Los Cabos and found it loud, this is the quiet counterargument.
Amangani — Jackson Hole, Wyoming (summer 2026)
Amangani is not new, but its return counts as one of the more significant American hotel events of the year. The Jackson Hole property — a perch above the valley that has been an Aman signature since 1998 — closed in April 2025 for a deep renovation and reopens in summer 2026.
Kerry Hill Architects, the firm behind the original building, is leading the work, refreshing interiors while keeping the architectural character intact. Guests can expect the same ridge-top setting and the long look across the Snake River valley toward the Tetons, paired with updated rooms and a contemporary spa. If you have a standing affection for the old Amangani, the bones are staying; if you are new to it, this is a clean moment to arrive.
The 2027 class: slopes, cities, and the open sea
Aman Niseko — Hokkaido, Japan (2027)
Aman Niseko will be the brand's fourth property in Japan and, by Aman's own description, the country's first full Aman wellness retreat. It sits on the slopes of Mount Moiwa inside a protected reserve, looking across at the near-perfect cone of Mount Yotei.
The late Kerry Hill designed it, with contemporary lines and quiet nods to the design motifs of Hokkaido's Indigenous Ainu people. There are 30 suites in a dedicated pavilion, all with mountain views, plus 31 Aman branded residences — the only such development on the mountain. The main pavilion holds two restaurants, a private dining room, a whiskey and cigar lounge, a library, and a gallery.
What guests can look forward to is a rare pairing: true ski-in/ski-out access to Niseko's famous powder, and an expansive Aman Spa built for every other season — indoor and outdoor onsen, Finnish saunas, and Watsu chambers. It is a ski hotel that will also be worth visiting in July, for hiking and cycling rather than turns.
Aman Miami Beach — Florida (2027)
Aman Miami Beach brings the brand's stillness to one of the loudest stretches of coastline in the Americas. The project pairs a careful restoration of the historic Versailles Hotel on Collins Avenue — 56 boutique hotel rooms — with a new 18-story residential tower of 22 branded residences, all within the Faena District.
The tower is the work of Kengo Kuma, named the most influential architect in the world by TIME in 2021. His design leans on Japanese materials and motifs while answering Miami Beach's Art Deco heritage, angular lines softened by undulating forms. The tower is expected to top off in early 2026, with the property opening in 2027.
Guests can expect the signature Aman Spa, private dining venues, and the deliberate calm that makes an Aman an Aman — a few steps from South Beach, and a world away from its noise.
Aman Beverly Hills — Los Angeles (2027–2028)
Aman's first Los Angeles hotel is part of the One Beverly Hills development, at the meeting of Wilshire and Santa Monica Boulevards. It is a 78-suite hotel paired with an Aman Club and a limited collection of Aman Residences, set across eight acres of botanical gardens.
Kerry Hill Architects designed it around California's modernist tradition — low, calm, and garden-forward. Construction began in early 2024; the hotel is expected to open in phases from late 2027, with the wider precinct aiming to be ready before the 2028 Olympic Games. For travelers who want an Aman base in a city that has never had one, this is the address to watch.
Aman Dubai — United Arab Emirates (2027 target)
Aman Dubai broke ground in April 2026 on the Dubai Peninsula, along the Jumeirah coastline. It will combine an Aman hotel with a small collection of private residences across nine acres of gardens — a green, low-rise answer to a city of towers. A 2027 opening is the current target, though a resort of this scale that broke ground in 2026 may well run a little later.
The headline for members and guests is the global Aman Club: a 9,500-square-metre facility with a spa, a movement studio, indoor padel courts, and outdoor tennis courts. Guests can expect a beachfront resort within easy reach of the city — Aman's long-awaited UAE arrival.
Amangati — Aman at Sea (spring 2027)
Amangati is the most genuinely new thing on this list: Aman's first yacht, and the debut of Aman at Sea. The name is Sanskrit for "peaceful motion," and the vessel carries just 94 guests across 47 suites, each with a private terrace — a scale far closer to a small Aman resort than a cruise ship.
Designed by Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design and under construction at the T. Mariotti shipyard in Genoa, Amangati runs 183 metres across nine decks, with a hybrid propulsion system for quieter, lower-emission sailing. There are eight bar and dining venues and a two-storey Aman Spa — the largest in yachting, by the brand's account — with a Japanese serenity garden and ocean-facing treatment rooms.
The maiden voyage departs Palma de Mallorca for Nice on May 7, 2027. First-season itineraries run five to eight nights along the French and Italian Rivieras, Spanish ports, and the Dalmatian Coast. Guests can expect Aman service at sea, with the freedom to wake up in a different harbour each morning.
Janu: Aman's younger sibling joins the wave
Aman's 2027 calendar also includes Janu, the lifestyle brand it launched with Janu Tokyo in 2024. Janu is more social and a touch more playful than Aman — the same design rigour, more energy in the public rooms, and a slightly more reachable price point.
Three Janu properties sit on the near horizon. Janu Dubai will land in the DIFC in 2027, a Herzog & de Meuron building with 150 keys, residences, dining venues, and a large wellness centre. Janu AlUla, also expected in 2027, draws on the historic Al Deira village near the UNESCO-listed Hegra in Saudi Arabia, with curved lines and a desert palette. Janu Montenegro sits on a cliffside above the Adriatic with access to King's Beach; its opening date is still to be confirmed. For travelers who love Aman's design language but want a livelier room, Janu is the one to keep an eye on.
How to plan around an Aman opening
A few practical notes. New Amans tend to sell their best categories early, and the smallest properties here — Amanvari at 18 casitas, Amangati at 47 suites — have very little inventory to begin with. Opening dates also move; "spring 2026" and "2027" are the brand's own language, and phased openings, Beverly Hills especially, mean the hotel and residences may not arrive together.
The reward for booking an opening is a property at its freshest, with staff who have trained for months for the first arrivals. The risk is a soft-opening hiccup or a slipped date. This is exactly where an advisor earns their place: holding a flexible reservation, watching the date, and keeping a fallback Aman in the same region ready if the calendar shifts. We are already tracking inventory on every property above for our travelers.
Frequently asked questions
Which new Aman properties open in 2026?
Two. Amanvari, the brand's first resort in Mexico, opens in spring 2026 on the East Cape of Baja California Sur. Amangani, the Jackson Hole classic in Wyoming, reopens in summer 2026 after a full renovation by its original architects, Kerry Hill Architects.
What is opening in 2027?
A busy year: Aman Niseko in Hokkaido, Aman Miami Beach in the Faena District, the first phase of Aman Beverly Hills, and Amangati, the inaugural Aman at Sea yacht. Aman Dubai is targeted for 2027, and two Janu properties — Janu Dubai and Janu AlUla — are expected the same year.
How far ahead should I book a new Aman?
For the smaller properties, as far ahead as you can — ideally as soon as reservations open, often six to twelve months before the opening date. Amanvari and Amangati have only a few dozen rooms or suites each, so prime dates and categories go quickly.
Is Amangati a cruise or a yacht?
Closer to a yacht, by design. It carries 94 guests in 47 suites across 183 metres — far smaller than a conventional cruise ship, and run more like a floating Aman resort. Itineraries are short, five to eight nights, along Mediterranean coastlines.
What is the difference between Aman and Janu?
Janu is Aman's younger lifestyle brand, launched with Janu Tokyo in 2024. It keeps Aman's design discipline but is more social and energetic, with livelier restaurants and bars and a more accessible price point. Aman remains the quieter and more private of the two.
Are these openings family-friendly?
It varies by property. The resort openings — Amanvari, Amangani, Aman Niseko — suit families well, with space, outdoor activity, and the kind of children's programming typical of Aman resorts. The city hotels and Amangati skew more adult; an advisor can match the property to who is traveling.
Will opening dates change?
Quite possibly. Hospitality timelines slip, and phased openings are common — Aman Beverly Hills, for instance, is expected to arrive in stages from late 2027. Treat the dates here as the brand's current guidance, and plan with a little flexibility built in.
If one of these openings has caught your eye, reach out to us at info@alpenglow.com to start planning.
As an Aman preferred partner, Alpenglow can secure benefits that a direct booking does not include — typically a room upgrade on arrival when available, daily breakfast for two, a resort or spa credit, and early check-in with late check-out — along with priority on scarce opening-date inventory and a VIP welcome once you arrive. The nightly rate is the same as booking direct; the stay is simply better.
