Aman has announced the upcoming launch of Amansamar, a new luxury resort in Saudi Arabia. Nestled in the scenic expanse of Wadi Safar, near Diriyah’s UNESCO World Heritage Site and minutes from Riyadh, Amansamar is set to redefine desert hospitality through its signature blend of peace, privacy and design excellence.
Cultural roots and meaning
The name Amansamar combines “aman,” meaning peace in Sanskrit, with “samar,” an Arabic term describing the cherished evening ritual of storytelling and connection. It also poetically translates to “the peaceful acacia tree,” a resilient desert symbol that will feature prominently across the resort’s landscape and design language. Consequently, this thoughtful naming reflects a deep respect for Saudi heritage and the timeless spirit of gathering under the stars.
Design-led tranquility in the heart of the desert
Designed by renowned architect Jean-Michel Gathy of Denniston Architects, the 80-key resort will embody Aman’s minimalist design ethos, seamlessly integrated into the natural desert escarpment. Furthermore, the architecture will emphasize harmony with the landscape, delivering an immersive and serene experience that aligns with Aman’s global reputation for understated luxury.
World-class amenities at the new luxury resort in Saudi Arabia
Guests at Amansamar will enjoy an array of best-in-class amenities designed to promote wellness, relaxation and reconnection. Furthermore, the resort will feature a full-service Aman spa with signature hammam and banya houses, hydrotherapy facilities and tranquil treatment spaces. Additional highlights include multiple swimming pools, refined dining venues, a racquet club and a kids’ club, all set within a landscape that prioritizes serenity and seclusion.
A key addition to Saudi Arabia’s evolving luxury hospitality scene
Amansamar is part of the wider Wadi Safar development, envisioned as a premier lifestyle and cultural destination in the Kingdom. Moreover, with nearby attractions and state-of-the-art polo and equestrian facilities, the resort is ideally positioned for both leisure and exploration.
Aman strengthens regional presence with new luxury resort in Saudi Arabia
Amansamar joins a growing portfolio of Aman destinations in the Middle East, including Aman AlUla, Janu Diriyah and Aman Dubai. The launch reinforces Aman’s commitment to delivering ultra-luxury, culturally connected hospitality experiences in Saudi Arabia and the wider region.
