Aman, a brand known for luxury hospitality and lifestyle, has announced the development of Aman Residences, Bodrum in the landscape where the Amanruya, Turkey is located.
In partnership with wealth management firm RePie Asset Management, the resort will see the addition of villas to own, as well as investment in expanding the hotel and amenities including a new spa, retail, beach club and restaurants. Resting on a private bay, along Bodrum’s serene north coast, Amanruya is known for its breathtaking natural surrounds and unique location, where peace and seclusion presides.
This evolution of Amanruya marks a new chapter for the resort and is being shaped by two esteemed architectural studios working in thoughtful collaboration. Long-time Aman partner Jean-Michel Gathy of Denniston Architects has envisioned the expanded Amanruya resort and Beachfront Residential Villas, while leading South African practice SAOTA has designed the Waterfront, Lagoon and Forest Residential Villas.
Each studio brings a distinct yet harmonious perspective, unified by Aman’s design philosophy rooted in spatial calm, privacy and a deep connection to nature. Denniston’s approach draws on the cultural and ecological context of the site, using refined proportions and natural materials to create spaces of quiet elegance. The villas designed by SAOTA respond intuitively to the topography of the Demirbuku Valley, with generous terraces, courtyards and a seamless indoor-outdoor flow that celebrates the coastal landscape.
This considered creative collaboration offers a rare opportunity to own a villa in one of the most private and beautiful corners of the world – alongside exclusive access to the Aman lifestyle and community. As one of the most exceptional settings in Europe, with uninterrupted views of the Aegean, the village-like resort of Amanruya is a secluded retreat. Offering an abundance of space and privacy, surrounded by nature and unparalleled levels of service, the property is located less than a 30-minutes from Milas-Bodrum International Airport.
“The introduction of Aman Residences, Bodrum illustrates our commitment to the destination as we seek to bring the brand’s revered way of living to an iconic Aman destination,” Aman Group chairman and CEO, Vlad Doronin, said.
“Exemplifying the Aman DNA, defined by space, privacy, intuitive service, world-class amenities and exceptional locations, Amanruya, nestled in a protected area, exudes this coveted lifestyle. The exclusive invitation-only opportunity to own a villa, will see priority given to Aman’s loyal following, ensuring that those who understand and appreciate the essence of the brand are the first to call this sanctuary home.”
“We are excited to establish Aman Residences, Bodrum and, in partnering with Aman, to bring the world’s most prestigious and ultra-luxury branded residences to Turkey for the first time,” RePie Asset Management chairman, Emre Camlibel, said. “The development of villas and expansion of facilities at Amanruya is a remarkable project aimed at further emphasizing Bodrum’s unique standing as a global tourist destination.”
Aman commenced its journey with branded residences in 1988 with Amanpuri, setting the benchmark for fully serviced residences in exceptional locations. The brand continues to expand its vision with a robust pipeline of future projects currently under construction including Beverly Hills, Maldives, Miami Beach and Dubai amongst others.
