The story so far

Amanolu is Aman's first resort in the Maldives, spread across a secluded private atoll at the easternmost tip of Vaavu Atoll, with 16 residences and 52 hotel keys, under way since September 2024 and set to finish in 2028.

Short-term rentals allowed. Beachfront, with a private beach. Its name joins Aman, the Sanskrit word for peace, with olu, the water lily found across the Indian Ocean region. Designed by longtime Aman collaborator Kerry Hill Architects, the resort holds 52 keys alongside 16 Aman Residences, each a five-bedroom home on its own private island with a private beach, a 25-meter pool, dedicated staff accommodation and a personal boat berth, some oriented to sunrise or sunset and others with beaches on both sides. A dedicated wellness island houses the Aman Spa and signature Spa Houses, a separate activity island handles diving, snorkeling and watersports, and multiple dining venues draw on Aman's global culinary portfolio.
