26 April 2023 - Aman Group, the world’s preeminent lifestyle and hospitality brand, announces two  forthcoming destinations in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in partnership with Diriyah Company – Aman Wadi Safar and Janu Diriyah.  

Aman Wadi Safar, located in the exceptional desert landscape near the city of Riyadh, will be home  to a 78-keyAman hotel, a collection of up to 34 Aman Branded Residences, and expansive amenities  including a vast Aman Spa and an array of dining experiences.

Aman Wadi Safar will draw inspiration from its pristine natural environment, as well as traditional  Najdi design elements, to embrace the values of a community lifestyle, creating a resort setting which weaves amongst the wadis and plateaus of the site, reinforcing the connection between the  property and its otherworldly desert location. Aman Wadi Safar is expected to open in 2026. 

Additionally, Aman Group announces Janu Diriyah, an additional property in the strong pipeline for Aman’s sister-brand Janu, which means ‘Soul’ in Sanskrit. Announced in 2020, Janu has been  created with a different pace and energy to Aman, designed to encourage connectedness and shared  experiences.  

Janu Diriyah, expected to open in 2026, will be located within close proximity to the Unesco Heritage  Site of At-Turaif close to the historic city of Riyadh. Comprising 120 hotel rooms and a spa, as part  of the Janu Wellness offering, the property will include a multitude of dining and experiences and will create memorable moments which build lasting connection amongst its like-minded community of guests.  

Speaking about the two new projects, Vlad Doronin, Chairman and CEO of Aman Group, said: “This  announcement marks a continuation of Aman Group’s commitment to the Kingdom of Saudi  Arabia. Aman Wadi Safar and Janu Diriyah Gate build upon Aman Group’s existing pipeline of  properties in Saudi Arabia and reinforce my strategic vision to offer our clients the opportunity to 

experience the breadth of this fascinating, and previously undiscovered country with journeys that  encompass city experiences, remote desert landscapes and Unesco Heritage Sites.”  

Jerry Inzerillo, Group CEO, Diriyah Company, commented: “We are very proud to launch Diriyah’s  partnership with Aman, delivering two outstanding projects in Wadi Safar and Diriyah. Diriyah, the  City of Earth, will be the world’s largest cultural and heritage destination and these projects will  enhance our luxury offerings to guests who come to explore our identity. Aman Group have developed  these projects by harnessing our unique setting at the heart of 300 years of Saudi history, while  embracing our shared future as a city and a community. We are delighted to celebrate the beginning  of our journey together.” 

Aman Group has already announced three properties in the pipeline within AlUla, Saudi Arabia, two  of which will be Aman destinations, as well as Janu AlUla. Additionally, Aman Group has announced  Project Sama, the brand’s first luxury motor yacht being developed in partnership with Cruise  Saudi, which will offer on-the-water voyages in the Red Sea, as well as in the Mediterranean.
