Amansamar Saudi Arabia represents a groundbreaking moment in the kingdom’s luxury hospitality evolution, marking Aman’s inaugural entry into one of the world’s most dynamic travel markets. Set within the dramatic desert escarpment of Wadi Safar, just minutes from Diriyah’s UNESCO World Heritage Site, this extraordinary resort redefines expectations for luxury desert experiences in the region. The property’s name beautifully combines Aman (peace in Sanskrit) with Samar (the Arabic tradition of sharing stories at nightfall), creating a concept that celebrates both tranquility and cultural connection.
The resort’s design philosophy centres around the resilient acacia tree, a symbol of peace that thrives in arid landscapes. This natural motif flows throughout Amansamar Saudi Arabia, with carefully integrated acacia groves creating shade and beauty across the expansive desert setting. Under the creative direction of renowned architect Jean-Michel Gathy of Denniston Architects, the property embodies Aman’s signature minimalist aesthetic while respecting the cultural heritage of its extraordinary location.
Exclusive branded residences redefine luxury living
What distinguishes Amansamar Saudi Arabia from other luxury resorts is its pioneering collection of Aman-branded residences, the first of their kind in the kingdom. These ultra-luxury villas and private estates offer an unprecedented opportunity to embrace the Aman lifestyle within a profoundly private and secure desert sanctuary. Each five to six-bedroom residence sits on expansive plots starting from 9,000 square metres, thoughtfully positioned along cliffs and desert terrain to maximise natural light and capture panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.
The residences provide direct access to world-class amenities including proximity to Wadi Safar’s Royal Signature Golf Course, designed by legendary golfer Greg Norman. Residents can also enjoy access to world-class polo and equestrian facilities, creating an environment where outdoor luxury experiences seamlessly blend with the desert setting.
World-class amenities define the Amansamar experience
The 80-key Aman hotel within Amansamar Saudi Arabia delivers the brand’s hallmark principles of peace and privacy through meticulously designed spaces and unparalleled service. Guests and residence owners enjoy access to comprehensive wellness facilities, including a signature Aman Spa featuring traditional hammam and banya houses alongside cutting-edge hydrotherapy facilities.
The resort’s dining venues promise to establish new standards for culinary excellence in the region, while the Racquet Club provides sophisticated recreational options. Multiple pools create distinct environments for relaxation and recreation, complemented by a dedicated Kids’ Club that ensures families can enjoy the Amansamar experience together.
