Luxury hospitality brand Aman is set to extend its prestigious portfolio into the Bahamas with the unveiling of Amancaya, an impressive $260 million resort and residential development located in Exuma.
Spanning two private cays, Amancaya will feature a luxurious 36-room hotel, alongside branded residences that promise an upscale lifestyle. The resort’s ambitious plans also include a full-service marina, a beach club, the renowned Aman Spa, and diverse dining options, catering to the most discerning travelers.
This exciting project is being developed in collaboration with Swiss investor and philanthropist Dona Bertarelli. While an official opening date has not yet been announced, the anticipation surrounding the development is palpable.
Aman Group chairman and CEO Vlad Doronin remarked that this venture marks "a significant milestone" for the brand. He noted that there has been a long-standing demand from Aman guests for a presence in the Bahamas, making this expansion particularly noteworthy.
Expansion into the Caribbean
Amancaya will represent the third addition to Aman’s Caribbean portfolio, following the well-established Amanyara in Turks and Caicos and Amanera in the Dominican Republic. These properties embody Aman’s signature blend of unparalleled luxury and serene natural landscapes, promising an unforgettable experience for guests.
The Bahamas Welcomes Aman
In a separate statement, the Bahamas Ministry of Tourism, Investments & Aviation expressed its enthusiasm for this development, hailing it as a testament to "strong investor confidence" in the Bahamian tourism sector. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Tourism, Investments, and Aviation I. Chester Cooper highlighted that Aman’s ultraluxury lifestyle brand is an ideal fit for Exuma. He further noted that the project is expected to yield significant, long-term impacts for the region.
The construction and operation of Amancaya are projected to create approximately 500 jobs, with 200 positions during the construction phase and 300 permanent roles once the resort is up and running. This development not only promises opulent accommodations but also substantial economic benefits for the local community.
With its commitment to excellence and an unparalleled luxury experience, Aman’s Amancaya in Exuma is positioning itself to become one of the top destinations in the Caribbean. Visitors can look forward to a remarkable escape in one of the world’s most beautiful tropical locations.
