Aman opens Amancaya in the BahamasExuma, Bahamas
Aman, the brand synonymous with “I can’t believe this is real,” is setting up shop in the Bahamas with its latest miracle of modern escapism: Amancaya.
Slated to open soon in the heavenly Exuma archipelago, this new resort is so private, it practically requires a treasure map to find (nope, Google maps won’t cut it). Amancaya, which means ‘peaceful island’ in Taíno (but could also mean ‘prepare to stay here forever’), will sprawl across two secluded cays that appear to have been personally photoshopped by Mother Nature herself.
There will be 36 of Aman’s signature pavilions (read: temples of tranquility) and a handful of branded residences, just in case you actually decide you never want to leave. Expect all the essentials: a Beach Club, an Aman Spa to recalibrate your chakras, and enough dining venues to justify packing your extra stretchy pants.
Backing this island Eden is Swiss billionaire Dona Bertarelli - sailor, philanthropist, and general overachiever - who has teamed up with Aman to make sure you’ll never see another human being on your Bahamas holiday unless you want to. Naturally, the resort is also going for LEED certification for that green tick of approval.
So, if your idea of a good time involves impeccable service, zero stress, and more sea turtles than travellers, Amancaya might just be your next obsession.
Amancaya is currently under construction, developed with the involvement of Squircle Capital, and will be Aman’s third property in the Caribbean region.
