“…In the heart of Wadi Safar, near the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Diriyah and conveniently located within central Riyadh, the globally renowned Aman brand is set to unveil Amansamar, a luxurious resort and branded residences, marking Aman’s very first venture of this kind in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia…”
The name Amansamar elegantly combines “Aman”, meaning “peace” in Sanskrit, with “Samar”, an Arabic term referring to the cherished tradition of sharing stories and wisdom among loved ones at nightfall. It also translates to “the peaceful acacia tree,” a resilient symbol of strength and harmony with nature. This emblematic tree will become central to Wadi Safar’s design narrative, thoughtfully integrated throughout the landscape to reflect a deep sense of place.
Amansamar will feature an 80-key Aman hotel, designed by world-renowned architect Jean-Michel Gathy of Denniston Architects, known for his serene minimalist aesthetics and Aman’s signature privacy-led philosophy.
The project is also home to the Kingdom’s first Aman-branded residences, an ultra-luxury collection of villas and private estates. Each residence is positioned harmoniously within the desert escarpment, offering breathtaking natural views and full immersion in the beauty of the surroundings. Located near the Wadi Safar Royal Signature Golf Course, designed by Greg Norman, the development also boasts top-tier polo and equestrian facilities.
Amansamar promises a world-class lifestyle experience with amenities such as an Aman Spa featuring traditional hammam and banya houses, hydrotherapy facilities, fine dining venues, a Racquet Club, multiple swimming pools, and a dedicated Kids’ Club.
Residents also gain privileged access to the Residence Club, a private haven for wellness, fitness, and dining, along with an invitation to join the exclusive Aman Club, with global destinations including Tokyo, New York, Bangkok, and forthcoming locations such as Miami Beach and Beverly Hills.
