Amancaya unveiled as Aman’s first resort in the Bahamas

In a region defined by unspoiled beauty and luminous turquoise waters, Aman is preparing to unveil its first destination in The Bahamas—Amancaya—set across two of the Exumas’ most secluded private cays. Spread across 400 acres of untouched terrain, this forthcoming retreat marks a significant new chapter for the brand, marrying Aman’s signature sense of stillness with one of the Caribbean’s most pristine archipelagos.

Named after the Taíno phrase for “peaceful island,” Amancaya will introduce a 36-pavilion resort alongside a highly limited collection of Aman Residences—each a modern sanctuary immersed in nature. These residences will be the first of their kind in The Bahamas for the brand, offering discerning buyers the opportunity to own a private villa designed with Aman’s core principles of serenity, space, and discretion.

Each home, ranging from three to five bedrooms, will be seamlessly integrated into the landscape, oriented to maximize privacy and uninterrupted ocean views. True to Aman’s design philosophy, the architecture will emphasize harmony between indoor and outdoor living—clean lines, natural materials, and fluid transitions from shaded verandas to sun-drenched terraces. The result is a retreat that doesn’t impose on the landscape, but rather exists in dialogue with it.

Beyond the residences, owners will enjoy privileged access to the full spectrum of resort amenities. A world-class Aman Spa will offer holistic wellness programs in a setting framed by sea and sky, while the Beach Club promises barefoot luxury along powder-white shores. A private marina will serve as the gateway to the surrounding cays, and a curated selection of dining venues—spanning both islands—will reflect the brand’s global culinary excellence, reinterpreted with Bahamian flavor and flair.

For divers, boaters, and travelers who prize both escape and elegance, Amancaya is a rare opportunity: a place where time slows, the ocean stretches in every direction, and the Aman experience reaches new horizons. With its remote setting, refined design, and intimate scale, it’s not just a resort—it’s the beginning of a new era of Caribbean luxury.

As Aman expands its global footprint, Amancaya joins a growing list of transformative new destinations. In Mexico, Amanvari is set to open soon on the East Cape of the Baja Peninsula, offering a tranquil sanctuary where the desert meets the Sea of Cortés. Further east, Aman Niseko in Japan will bring the brand’s unmistakable aesthetic to the slopes of Mount Moiwa in Hokkaido—pairing minimalist architecture with access to world-class skiing and year-round alpine beauty. These upcoming properties reflect Aman’s continued commitment to creating rare places of profound calm and connection, each rooted in its own unique landscape yet unified by a philosophy of space, privacy, and timeless design.
