Discover Aman Dubai: Luxury Living on Jumeirah Coast

First milestone and new developments for Aman Residences, Dubai

23 April 2026 Aman Dubai, the forthcoming hotel and private residence collection on Dubai Peninsula, located in a prime position along the Jumeirah coastline with direct beach access and open water, marks a significant milestone in its development, having broken ground onsite for the first time. Set along a prime stretch of coastline, the project is conceived as a rare urban sanctuary defined by space, privacy and landscape; the plot encompasses nine acres of verdant gardens, establishing one of the most expansive private green environments within the city. A series of shaded courtyards, water features and discreet pathways are woven throughout, creating a sense of calm and seclusion while maintaining a close connection to the surrounding waterfront.

The development will comprise an Aman hotel alongside a limited collection of private branded residences, each designed to offer a fully serviced living experience, elevated by Aman’s signature approach to ultra-luxury lifestyle. Generous living spaces, private outdoor terraces with swimming pools, and uninterrupted sea views and Dubai skyline define the residential offering, with a strong emphasis on discretion and long-term liveability.
